Summary
The intention of the Study Group (SG) is to produce a new MAC layer protocol that will enable devices to discover services within an infrastructure network prior to device association.
Several members of IEEE are aware of complementary activity in the Wi-Fi Alliance and the goal is to add additional functionality without duplicating or disrupting existing Wi-Fi Alliance functions.
