Smart buildings
User – Enterprise/private venue owners with WLAN connectivity in the venues.
Use cases for smart buildings
Asset tracking: tracking whereabouts of valuable assets or equipment
Locate the target asset in the venue
Ability to alarm when the target asset moves outside a predefined area
Industrial management: tracking manufacturing processes in factories and inventory management in warehouses
Track the target objects in manufacturing processes, e.g., machine parts
Track goods in warehouses
Environment – Smart buildings with WLAN coverage
Support 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Also consider other frequency bands when necessary.
One AP per floor for smart home use cases and several APs per floor to cover large area in warehouse use cases
One AP may need to support a large number (e.g. >200) of devices for industrial use cases
APs and STAs support .11n, .11ac, .11ax and .11az

4. Smart buildings March 2016 Key Location Requirements
Expected Horizontal Accuracy: for asset tracking use cases, for industrial use cases
Expected Vertical Accuracy:
Expected Latency: <500ms
Expected Refresh Rate: 0.5 to 5 locations per second
Expected number of simultaneous users: <30 per AP for asset tracking use cases, >200 per AP for industrial use cases
