5.1 Approximate number of people expected to be actively involved in the development of this project: 50.
5.2.a. 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 new physical (PHY) layer specification and modifications to the 802.11 medium access control (MAC) clauses on hybrid coordination function (HCF) channel access, power management modes of operation excluding architectural changes, and rules for overlapping basic service set (OBSS) detection and mitigation, as required to support the new PHY layer specification that enables operation of light communications (LC).
The ammendment supports:• fast session transfer between LC and radio,• corresponding 802.1 protocols,• fast BSS transition.
The new PHY specified in this amendment:• Enable operations in 170 nm to 10,000 nm band• Enables of at least one mode of operation that achieves minimum throughput of 10 Mbps,
as measured at the MAC data service access point (SAP)• Enables of at least one mode of operation that achieves maximum throughput of 5 Gbps,
as measured at the MAC data service access point (SAP)
5.3 Is the completion of this standard dependent upon the completion of another standard: No.
5.4 Purpose: The purpose of this standard is to provide wireless connectivity for fixed, portable, and moving stations within a local area. This standard also offers regulatory bodies a means of standardizing access to light spectrum for the purpose of local area communication.

5.5 Need for the Project: A significant variety of Light Communications (LC) vendors currently build various, non-standardized, products for many use-cases spanning from kb/s IoT devices which work even with the diffused light sources up to several Gbit/s. The LC market size is forecast to be worth $75 billion by 2022 according to Markets and Markets.The availability of chipsets in the latest semiconductor technologies, is seen as a key to reduce power consumption, form factor and costs for LC devices. Standardization is seen by the industry as a key requirement to address the mass market for LC. Vendors include chip makers to deliver PHY & MAC sub-systems, system integrators and lighting companies, telecom operators, ISPs, emerging IoT companies, large industrial manufacturers, aviation and transportation industries, etc.
5.6 Stakeholders for the Standard: Manufacturers and users of semiconductors, personal computers, enterprise networking devices, consumer electronic devices, home networking equipment, producers of industrial sensors, mobile devices, lighting manufacturers and cellular operators.
