2 doc.: IEEE 802.11-99/252 Submission November M. Hoeben - No Wires Needed 1. Broad Market Potential Currently not part of the 802.11 MAC, but very often an important evaluation criterion Regarded as essential for application of 802.11 based systems in densely populated areas Most vendors already incorporate proprietary solutions in their products

3 doc.: IEEE 802.11-99/252 Submission November M. Hoeben - No Wires Needed 2. Compatibility with IEEE Standard 802 Load balancing is just another parameter in the roaming decision made by the station based on extra information about the load of an access point –It is a pure MAC change (PHY is unaffected) –It does not change the LLC interface Load balancing aware implementations will benefit from new function, current implementations will continue to work as before

4 doc.: IEEE 802.11-99/252 Submission November M. Hoeben - No Wires Needed 3. Distinct identity Not applicable –We’re simply adding something that improves the performance of 802.11 based systems in densely populated areas

5 doc.: IEEE 802.11-99/252 Submission November M. Hoeben - No Wires Needed 4. Technical feasibility Some extra information fields in the Beacon and Probe Response frames is enough Just another parameter in the roaming decision of stations –Note that this is more an implementation issue Only simple modifications to the standard Proven technology –Proprietary systems already implement load balancing schemes

6 doc.: IEEE 802.11-99/252 Submission November M. Hoeben - No Wires Needed 5. Economical feasibility Straightforward implementation, backward compatibility and proven technology make load balancing economical feasible
