3. TG documents • Functional Requirements • Similar to 11n document • PAR • Additional quantitative constraints • Evaluation Methodology • Combine best from both 11n’s usage model and comparison criteria documents • 11n defined dozens of comparison criteria that were ignored • 11n defined dozens of environments, use cases and applications, but in the end mainly focused on three simulation scenarios • Discuss usage models and then define limited set simulation scenarios for MAC simulations • Include point-to-point link test for functional requirements • Define PHY simulations • Physical layer impairments • Define metrics • Channel Models • Impulse responses • Path loss • Antenna • Define model per simulation scenario environment Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation

4. Other considerations • Coordination with TGac • Usage models • In 08/1395: • MAC functions, for example • “Session mgmt” (seamless fallback from VHT60 and/or VHTL6 to 802.11n to legacy) • Aggregation to support larger data units • Space-time channel management • Coexistence • Liaison with 802.15.3c • Liaison with 802.19 Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation
