WFA Liaison Report
, Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) VHT Study Group Usage Models, presented by Rolf de Vegt
Final report refining categories, usage models, and prioritization of usage models
Wish to extend thanks to WFA for providing usage models input to VHT SG
Next step for VHT SG
map usage models to <6 GHz and/or 60 GHz bands

6. Rationale for SG extension for EC

March 2008
Rationale for SG extension for EC
VHT SG is making good progress towards completion of the two PARs and 5C’s, an additional extension is necessary for completion
First extension was given in November
In January there were five submissions
VHT usage models by WFA
Mobile cooperation and IMT-Advanced aligned scope for < 6 GHz
Concept of 60 GHz PAR
Coexistence
Two strawpolls setting the direction of the study group:
Should the study group develop two PAR &5C’s one for <6GHz band and one for 57-62GHz band? Y/N/A: 29/4/19
Should the study group specify limited usage models in a <6 GHz PAR and a 60 GHz PAR? Y/N/A: 39/1/19
VHT held two conferences in January and February with presentations on a proposal for a <6 GHz PAR and 5C’s and 60 GHz PAR and 5C’s
Progress in March
Final report on VHT usage models from WFA with prioritization
Discussion on <6 GHz PAR & 5C’s
Discussion on 60 GHz PAR & 5C’s
Continued strong interest in the study group demonstrated by over 100 participants
