IEEE P802.11 - NG60 Study Group - MEETING UPDATE

Status of IEEE 802.11 Next Generation 60GHz (NG60) Study Group

Leadership

Edward Au (Marvell Semiconductor), Chair

Jeorge Hurtarte (Teradyne), Recording Secretary

Background

Next Generation 60 GHz (NG60) is a new study group within the IEEE 802.11 working group that will consider significantly increasing the data rates in the 60 GHz frequency band in a backwards compatible way to IEEE 802.11ad.

The Study Group was created based on the following IEEE 802.11 Working Group motion:  Request approval by IEEE 802 LMSC to form an IEEE 802.11 Study Group on Next Generation 60 GHz [as described in doc 11-14/0606r0] with the intent of creating a PAR and CSD.

The NG60 SG is in the process of developing PAR and CSD documents towards the future formation of an IEEE 802.11 project.
