EHT SG formation Motion November 2013 doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/xxxxr0 July 2018 EHT SG formation Motion Date: 2018-07-11 Authors: Ron Porat Et Al. Philip Levis, Stanford University

November 2013 doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/xxxxr0 July 2018 Background In 802.11 WG Interim meeting in 2018 May, a motion was passed to form an EHT TIG to initiate discussion on new 802.11 features for bands between 1 and 7.125 GHz; Since the formation of EHT TIG, there have been lots of discussions and contributions about EHT features, EHT scope, EHT SG formation motion text, and EHT TG formation timelines, etc. This contribution will focus on following two items: EHT TG (Task Group) formation timeline EHT SG (Study Group) formation motion Ron Porat Et Al.

EHT TG Formation Timeline Considerations November 2013 doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/xxxxr0 July 2018 EHT TG Formation Timeline Considerations In order to provide the needed time for feature harmonization and selection for such an important project, the proposed EHT TG formation timeline is described below: 2019 January: Motion PAR and CSD in the WG closing plenary 2019 March: WG final approval of the PAR and CSD 2019 March: EC approval of the PAR 2019 May: First meeting of the task group EHT TIG PAR & CSD development as well as feature selection PAR & CSD approved EHT TG Begins July 2018 September 2018 November 2018 January 2019 March 2019 May 2019 Ron Porat Et Al.

Proposed EHT SG Formation Motion Text November 2013 doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/xxxxr0 July 2018 Proposed EHT SG Formation Motion Text Move to approve formation of an EHT SG (Extreme High Throughput Study Group) to develop a Project Authorization Request (PAR) and a Criteria for Standards Development (CSD) for a new 802.11 amendment for operating in the bands between 1 to 7.125 GHz, with the primary objectives: To increase peak throughput and improve efficiency To support high throughput and low latency applications such as video-over- WLAN, AR and VR with target approval of the EHT Task Group (TG) PAR and CSD approved in March, 2019.
