Nendica: IEEE 802 “Network Enhancements for the Next Decade” Industry Connections Activity

Background

ICAID IC17-001-03: IEEE 802 Network Enhancements for the Next Decade

This activity documents emerging requirements and directions for IEEE 802 networks, identifying commonalities, gaps, and trends not currently addressed by IEEE 802 standards and projects, and facilitate industry consensus towards proposals to initiate new standards development efforts. The activity was renewed for two years on 2021-09-20, following the original authorization from March 2017 – March 2019 in ICAID IC17-001-01 and the renewal from March 2019 – March 2021 (extended to September 2021) in ICAID IC17-001-02.
