Background
AMbient Power (AMP) Communication provisions a mechanism enabling battery-free applications which is especially important to low-power IoT
applications. This will not only help users within home, enterprise and public access markets, but also assist manufacturers and operators
to provide common components and services for IEEE 802.11 customers.
In Mar 2023, the AMP SG was formed to develop the PAR and CSD for AMP communication in WLAN, and the AMP PAR and CSD were approved in Mar 2024.
Goals
The goal of the TGbp is to develop an amendment to 802.11 PHY and MAC to enable AMP communication in 802.11 network.
