Radio Resource Measurement SG July 2002 Radio Resource Measurement SG In May, a motion to form a new IEEE 802.11 Study Group called the Radio Resource Measurement Study Group (RRMSG) was made. Approved in the WNG SC 54/4/6 Approved in WG Plenary 72/12/17 Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of adding mechanisms for monitoring and reporting radio and MAC status information. Rationale: As the number and size of wireless networks grow there is an increasing need to monitor network status and health from a central administrative location and provide managed services. The first RRMSG meeting was held during the July 2002 session. Bruce Kraemer, Intersil

July 2002 High Throughput SG In May, a motion to form a new IEEE 802.11 Study Group called the High Throughput Study Group (HTSG) was made. Approved in the WNG SC 44/1/0 Approved in WG Plenary 80/1/16 Purpose: to investigate the feasibility of providing throughputs of at least 2x greater than the existing 802.11 standard. Rationale: There is a never ending demand for higher data rates. The existing MAC and PHY can be further extended to realize significant speed improvements. To minimize scheduling conflicts within 802.11 the first HTSG meeting will start in the September 2002 session Bruce Kraemer, Intersil
