The goals of this IEEE 802.11 Topic Interest Group are:
l Discuss contributions in the areas of, but not limited to:
• Use cases and requirements
• Key performance indicators
• Technical approaches and 802.11 standard gaps in the areas such as protocols in association & authentication, seamless AP handover, optimized roaming algorithm etc.
• Alternative solutions
l Develop and approve a final report (est July 2025) that will summarize the contributions and recommendations
The final report could give details about proposed standards activities if needed, or it may serve as a recommended practice for the automotive ecosystem to improve WLAN connectivity in vehicles.
