How does this relate to HomeRF, and Bluetooth?
A13: The IEEE 802.15 WPAN Working Group is doing their work in an accredited Standards Development Organization both the HomeRF Working Group and the Bluetooth Special Interest Group are informal consortia-based groups defining wireless networks. HomeRF could be characterized as a “trimmed down 802.11”. Bluetooth is a newer addition to the wireless space, and comes closer to satisfying WPAN requirements. In both cases, we will actively solicit candidate technologies to meet our Functional Requirements (in process) and then draft a standard and recommend it to IEEE 802 and the IEEE SAB for accreditation.
