To develop recommended practices for an Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) which provides the necessary capabilities to achieve multi-vendor Access Point interoperability across a Distribution System supporting IEEE P802.11 Wireless LAN Links. This IAPP will be developed for the following environment(s): (1) A Distribution System consisting of IEEE 802 LAN components supporting an IETF IP environment. (2) Others as deemed appropriate. This Recommended Practice Document shall support the IEEE P802.11 standard revision(s).
The Internet of Things is predicted to consist of billions of devices by 2020. Many of these devices will run on batteries. To prolong the useful life of these batteries, while making sure devices don t stay in a sleep state too long and run slowly, devices must be able to run in a low-power, low-latency state. Wake-Up Radio, which is being developed by the IEEE 802.11ba working group, offers a solution to this challenge.
