Title: IEEE 802.11u Interworking with External Networks Requirements Document
Purpose: To review and return comments on requirements which specifically influence WLAN interworking.
Dear Ajay Rajkumar,
IEEE 802.11 Task Group u, Interworking with External Networks has produced a requirements document enclosed (11-05-822r3) with this covering letter.
The purpose of this letter is to ask you to review the attached document and to return comments on any of the requirements which may have a direct impact on the interworking of IEEE 802.11 technology with your technology. It would be useful to know which requirements are important to your organisation and additional requirements would be considered.
Please review this document and provide comments, so that IEEE 802.11u may refine their requirements. The objective of this request is then to enable IEEE 802.11u to correctly engineer an interworking solution which is both acceptable to IEEE 802.11 and your organisation. Comments are invited before the end of 2005, which will enable us to complete our work.
We look forward to additional discussions, and invite you to send feedback and possibly attend future IEEE 802.11 face-to-face meetings to discuss this document, if so desired. The next two IEEE 802.11 meetings are during the weeks of November 13th – 18th , 2005 (Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada) and January 15th – 20th , 2006 (Waikoloa, Hawaii, USA).
For your reference, ANSI/IEEE Std. 802.11Ò-1999, as amended by IEEE Std. 802.11a, IEEE Std. 802.11b, IEEE Std. 802.11b-COR1, IEEE Std. 802.11d, IEEE Std. 802.11g-2003, IEEE Std. 802.11h-2003, IEEE Std. 802.11i-2004, IEEE Std. 802.11j-2004 is the current version of the IEEE 802.11 Standard.
Please contact Stuart J. Kerry, IEEE 802.11 Working Group chair, together with Stephen McCann, IEEE 802.11u Task Group chair and David Hunter IEEE 802.21 Liaison with any questions.
Best Regards,
Stuart J. Kerry
