  2. Coexistence of different MACs • Approaches: • A unified MAC is probably not desirable. • Through cooperation. • Create a Meta-MAC, a unifying sublayer on top of MAC layers, which enables different MACs to communicate and users to choose the right MAC. • Create a possible industry forum/consortium/certification type of approach for the Meta-MAC. • Enforcement is a challenging issue here. • Another type of collaboration is through cooperative relay in the PHY/MAC layer. • There exists a tradeoff between the level of cooperation and enforcement.

  3. Policing and preventing misbehaving devices • Is it a MAC layer issue or a security issue? Where should it be? • Game theory a possible approach • Explore the interaction between policy and MAC. Define the environment and the corresponding policy. • Possibility of hardware implementation on enforcement.

  4. Control channel • In-band signaling is possible in certain scenarios. There are cases where there is no need for control channel. • Create a dedicated control channel through dedicated spectrum, ISM, or PHY layer techniques.

  5. Action items • Take the collaborative scheme to next level. • Feasibility study, requirement definition, and benchmark cases for comparison. • Better understanding on how applications behavior.

  6. Dependencies • Always a dependency on technology (e.g.,60GHz), policy maker, trade associations, and security models.
