IEEE PAR
Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for High Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN)
… wireless connectivity with fixed, portable and moving devices within or entering a Personal Operating Space (POS) (up to 10 meters in all directions enveloping a person)
… interoperability or coexistence with other TG
… coexistence with other wireless devices in conjunction with Coexistence Task Groups such as
… low complexity, low cost, low power
… >20Mbps to satisfy a set of consumer multi-media industry needs for WPAN communications.

Proposed Process Updates
Informative comments on evaluation criteria will be noted in appendix to 110R13 (TG3 Criteria Definitions) authored by MAC, PHY, and Systems Committee chairs.
Consider MAC and PHY separately, optimizing task group resources.
PLCP and PMD functionality will be defined for as the basis for the initial draft
MAC choice may be concluded prior to final PHY choice.
