Open Issues Not many of the proposers are using the Framework Month 2000 doc.: IEEE 802.11-00/xxx January 16, 2001 Open Issues Not many of the proposers are using the Framework Use of Framework was always encouraged, not mandated, Need to consider how to get more people using scenarios / metrics in framework Need to consider how to get people to maintain and enhance existing framework None of the simulation models have undergone formal validation Need validation approach Open for suggestions Matthew Sherman, AT&T Labs - Research John Doe, His Company
