If the existing Auxiliary Security Header cannot easily be modified to support the addition of AES-256, the Study Group will create an alternative means, likely via the addition of Information Elements, to provide the ability to add AES-256 plus add the ability to negotiate the use of other security cipher suites and key lengths. Enhancement of 802.15.4 UWB RFID PHYs to add bi-directional capability by Tim Harrington (15-17-0637-02) Consensus (3/0/7) was to form an IG to resolve concerns displayed during SC WNG Formation of a Low Power Wide Area Network SG by Jörg Robert (15-17-0628-00) Consensus (13/1/7) was to form a SG LPWA to add an 802.15.4 amendment focusing on very low payload bit-rates (e.g. <30kBit/s) in license exempt frequency bands. This amendment would achieve a significantly increased robustness in case of interference from other users in license exempt frequency bands. Slide 27 <Pat Kinney>, <Kinney Consulting LLC> Page 27
