3. doc.: IEEE 802.11-05/0092r1 Submission January 2005 Jim Allen, Appairent TechnologiesSlide 3 Bonding Report Presented document: 11-05-0075-00-000n-Coexistence Issues.ppt., Thursday at 8 am at the 802.19/801.11n joint coexistence meeting. A.11n member clarified that “MANDITORY 40 MHz” refers to it’s status in the Draft, not that it was mandatory to always operate at 40 MHz. Generally agreed that the issue is Coexistence and not just 40 MHz and not just 802.15. Work will continue as the proposals are clarified.
