2. 5GHz Study Group Original Intent International effort IEEE, ETSI, MMAC
March 2001
5GHz Study Group
Original Intent
Standard Harmonization - Single Global Standard
International effort
IEEE, ETSI, MMAC
Interim Objective
Interworking mechanism
Interworking Proposals
Legacy backward compatibility maintained
AT&T, Philips, Ericsson, hLAN, NEC, U of Aachen, Comprise, Magis
Principal approach so far based upon superframes using either DCF or PCF
No impact on Client, AP implementation only
Future plan

6. 9. Scope of Proposed Project:
March 2001
9. Scope of Proposed Project:
Establish coexistence and inter-working among the a, ETSI HiperLAN/2, MMAC CSMA and HiSWANa standards. Extension of each of the MAC and PHY layers of these standards will be defined collaboratively to achieve coexistence and inter-working.
10. Purpose of Proposed Project:
To establish coexistence and inter-working among the a, ETSI HiperLAN/2, MMAC CSMA and HiSWANa standards. A subsequent project under a separate PAR is to create a single converged standard in the 5GHz band.
