Closing Report• 2 presentations to the SG in this meeting

• K. Grochla, W. Buga (Proximetry)Practical experiences with media-independent link control

• A. de la Oliva (UC3M), J. Lessmann (NEC), C. Niephaus (FhG)Heterogeneous Wireless Management for Coexistence

• 1 presentation of SG to the 802.21/802.19 joint session• A. de la Oliva (UC3M), J. Lessmann (NEC), C. Niephaus (FhG)

IEEE 802.19.1 as a Media Independence Service Layer

• 1 presentation postponed (I-Kang Fu, MediaTek)

• Plan for future progress:• continue elaborating on use cases/requirements with previous presenters• Narrow down scope of potential PAR until November• discuss overlap of SG objectives with 802.19.1

Motion• Motion to extend the IEEE 802.21 Study Group “Heterogeneous Wireless

Networks Management” to examine issues related to supporting management of heterogeneous wireless networks (as per ref: 21-09-0187-00-0000), and if necessary create a PAR and five criteria to form a new Task Group."
