NOV. 1999 PLENARY The Mac Enhancements study group approved the Draft for two PARs. These drafts will be submitted for approval to EXCOM which is expected at the March 2000 plenary meeting. The scope and purpose of the two PARs is as follows:

PAR 1 (MAC Enhancements): Scope of Proposed Project (What is being done including the technical boundaries of the project?)

[ Enhance the 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) to improve and manage Quality of Service, provide classes of service, and enhanced security and authentication mechanisms. Consider efficiency enhancements in the areas of the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and Point Coordination Function (PCF) ]

Purpose of Proposed Project [Why is it being done, including the intended user(s) and benefits to that user(s)]

[To enhance the current 802.11 MAC to expand support for applications with Quality of Service requirements. Provide improvements in security, and in the capabilities and efficiency of the protocol. These enhancements, in combination with recent improvements in PHY capabilities from 802.11a and 802.11b, will increase overall system performance, and expand the application space for 802.11 ]
