doc.: IEEE Submission March 2004 Robert F. HeileSlide 1 PAR for b Amendment to Scope: [This amendment contains changes to the IEEE Std required to improve implementation and interoperability. This will include minor optimizations while preserving backward compatibility. In addition, this amendment will correct errors, clarify ambiguities, and add editorial clarifications.] Passed the WG by Unanimous Consent in both January and March No comments received Move to forward b to NesCom Mover: Heile Seconder: Kerry

doc.: IEEE Submission March 2004 Robert F. HeileSlide 3 PAR for REVb Revision to Scope: This project will define enhancements and corrections to the existing standard. The revised standard will be backward compatible with IEEE P The considered enhancements shall be limited to: * A method for shared time-base distribution. * Support for new frequency allocations for Europe, China, and Japan. * Extension of 2.4GHz derivative modulation yielding higher data rates for the lower frequency bands. * Mechanism for communicating the revision level. The considered corrections are: * Resolving ambiguities. * Removing unnecessary complexity, such as making GTS support optional and eliminating BUSY_RX, BUSY_TX, and FORCE_TRX_OFF from the PHY enumerations. * Resolving issues such as long association time for non-beacon networks, inflexible security use, adding support for multicast, reducing MAC overhead and MAC header compression Passed the WG by Unanimous Consent in both January and March No comments received Move to forward b to NesCom Mover: Heile Seconder: Kerry
