TGg Passed the Following Motions on
Recommended use of RTS/CTS exchange mechanism to avoid collisions between legacy b transmissions and g OFDM transmissions in a BSS network
Inclusion of a new information element containing legacy device information in the BSS network
Inclusion of an extended signal field of 6 usec silence after OFDM packets (to ensure that a TX-RX turn-around time is satisfied in the 2.4 GHz band)
Setting the CWmin value to 15 if the BSS network supports data rates in excess of 20 Mbps
For the Extended Rate PHY, if the received frame was an OFDM frame, the Control Response frame shall be sent at the highest mandatory OFDM rate that is less than or equal to the rate of the received frame

TGg Included Following Coexistence Statement in Draft 2.1
The 2.45 GHz media is a shared media and co-existence with other devices such as IEEE b (clause 17 devices) is an important issue for maintaining high performance in g (ERP) devices. By design, g coexists with b and as a result coexists with all approved IEEE standards for the 2.45 GHz band. In addition, the mandatory and optional waveforms utilized by g are inherently robust against more general interference sources. Coexistence and interference protection is further enhanced by mechanisms in the existing MAC protocol including RTS/CTS, carrier sense and collision avoidance protocols, and MSDU fragmentation.
