Designed to address issues outside the approved TGT framework. An effort to measure performance as observed in various deployment scenarios. Designed to provide functional or compliance tests for WLAN components. A discussion of metrics and sub-metrics that can be measured. A designation of acceptable performance for various metrics and sub-metrics. A discussion of the methodology to measure and analyze performance. This proposal is for Usage Case #1 – Data-oriented usages…
