May 2001 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -01/253 r 0 Statement of Purpose • Purpose of the Study Group – Define the functional charter of this new group to best address the wireless coexistence issues. – Recommend an organization to best accomplish (New WG, Joint TG, TAG, etc) Submission 5 Jim Lansford, Mobilian Corporation

May 2001 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -01/253 r 0 Current Plans • Keep 802. 15 TG 2 unchanged so they can continue working on their specific tasks at hand. • Keep 802. 11 5 GSG unchanged so they can continue working on their specific tasks at hand. • Keep 802. 16 unchanged. Submission 9 Jim Lansford, Mobilian Corporation

May 2001 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -01/253 r 0 Feedback? • What is the role of this SG? • Possible organizations going forward Ø Ø Working Group (joint) Task Group (joint) TAG *** won straw poll *** Recommended practice 1. Output of SG (summary and report) 1. Who works on the report? 2. How/when do we meet/conf call? 2. Schedule---is July realistic? Submission 10 Jim Lansford, Mobilian Corporation

May 2001 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -01/253 r 0 Meeting Summary • Secretary/editor and liaisons chosen • Straw poll indicated strong support for a Coexistence TAG • Cx. SG will have initial conference call in two weeks – Email distribution to attendees – Will begin work on bylaws/operating rules • Chair to research prior TAGs • Will need to determine how TAG gets called in – Correspondence will be sent to 11/15/17 liaison – Separate reflector? • Goal will be to have draft of operating rules by Portland – Ratified by attendees – Finalized and published thereafter Submission 11 Jim Lansford, Mobilian Corporation

May 2001 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -01/253 r 0 Conclusion • Coexistence is becoming increasingly important in IEEE 802 wireless standards • This study will recommend to Ex. Com the policies and procedures for future wireless standards • Needs to be coordinated with Ex. Com regulatory Submission 12 Jim Lansford, Mobilian Corporation
