Re: [802.21] Teleconference schedule for the next two months
Reijo,
Your question is valid. 802.21 WG is committed to addressing 802.20.
This question was raised during our own requirements phase. Since 802.20
WG has not issued a "Call for Proposals" or has a draft yet, I believe
that we would be able to send them requirements in due course.
However, I did not see IEEE 802.20 WG mentioned anywhere in this press
release.
Regards,
-ajay
