Examples -- WL Requirements
Always ON Zero – configuration Interoperability Interworking (WAN, LAN, PAN, ,,) Global Roaming Secure channel, data, transactions Coexistence Dropped ‘5’ Erik S.

Lesson In each case there was a root cause (RC) driving the paradigm shift and the RC was not always the same (i.e., cost reduction) and it was not a huge list of requirements. Point – is there an RC to drive a WLAN Paradigm Shift and how do we find out? Garth H.

Call to Action Proposed
Form committees NOW to define: Quantify Primary requirements of Future WLAN Quantify limitations of current technology Convene in 1Q to compare and decide on future direction If decision to proceed warranted Form committees to investigate: MAC Alternatives PHY Alternatives Higher Layer Alternatives Repeat until architecture defined and then standardize Garth H.
