Scope of the complete standard: The scope of this standard is to define one medium access control (MAC) and several physical layer (PHY) specifications for wireless connectivity for fixed, portable, and moving stations (STAs) within a local area. 5.2.b. Scope of the project: This amendment defines a physical (PHY) layer specification and modifications to the medium access control (MAC) layer specification that enables operation of light communications (LC). TBD The MAC and PHY specified in this amendment: Enable operations in [TBD] nm to [TBD] nm band • Enables a maximum throughput of at least [TBD] Gbps, as measured at the MAC data service • access point (SAP) Enables fast session transfer between LC PHY(s) and based PHYs • Maintains the 802.11 user experience •
