5GSG Convergence Steps – working document

Interference Coexistence Interworking Single Global Standard

2 standards 2 standards 2 standards 1 standard

• Harmful interference (2 standards)

Communicating devices using 802.11a or HiperLAN2 can not operate in the same coverage area without harmful interference

Communicating devices using 802.11a or HiperLAN2 can not exchange data.

•Level-1: Operation in the different channels (e.g. DFS, TPC)

Communicating devices using 802.11a or HiperLAN2 can operate in the same coverage area by using different channels.

• Level-1: Any Wireless Terminal can talk to any AP

Communicating devices using 802.11a or HiperLAN2 can exchange data using a single AP

Does not need any further modifications to the standards beyond those in Level-2 Coexistence.

• Any wireless terminal can talk to any AP or any Wireless Terminal

Communicating devices using 802.11a or HiperLAN2 can exchange data directly on a ad-hoc basis

•Level-2: Operation in the same channel

Communicating devices using 802.11a or HiperLAN2 can operate in the same coverage area using a standardized mechanism that enables devices of both types to share the same channel.
