Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures < ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at

Abstract
With the n effort nearing completion and new market requirements being identified that suggest a need for data rates at or above 1 Gbps for WLANs, it is time to initiate a Study Group to capture new requirements and determine the type of future work necessary to meet those requirements. The goal of the study group shall be to create one or more PARs necessary to ensure that IEEE solutions will meet market needs 5+ years in the future.

IMT-Adv coordination meeting Tuesday evening (374,375).
Future technologies at WNG meeting Tuesday (412r1):
Straw poll: Should the Working Group start a very high throughput development effort?
Unanimous approval with >48 attendees
Question raised whether anyone would vote differently if it was a motion to form a study group:
No one said they would change their vote

Next Generation Timeline
802.11n expected to reach sponsor ballot in September 2007 and be approved as standard by 2Q2008.
WNG has reviewed several proposals regarding need for increased performance of to meet ever increasing data rate and QoS requirements.
ITU-R WP 8F on IMT-Advanced timeline requires 1 Gbps pedestrian solution standard by 2010.
Next Generation WLAN SG starts in May 2007, proposes PAR in November 2007, and task group begins work in March of 2008.
Standard ready for balloting by end of 2009 with final approval by end of 2010 in time for IMT-Adv.

Motion for WG
IEEE WG request approval by IEEE 802 LMSC to form a study group to address requirements for >= 1Gbps data rates for low-mobility, nomadic/local wireless access, with the intent to create necessary PAR and 5 Criteria.
Mover: John Barr, Motorola
Seconder: Bruce Kramer, Marvel
Results: Yes= No= Abstain=12
Motion Passes
