That the IEEE 802.15 WG seek approval from the IEEE 802 EC to start a study 
group investigating 802.15.4-2006 MAC enhancements such as
- Support for Determinism
- Mixed service and power savings levels in one network (dynamic transmit 
power control)
- Frequency diversity for retransmissions for improved reliability
- Low duty cycle operation with beacons for power efficiency
- Distributed management of time slots and frequency hopping patterns for 
fast recovery from regional failures
- 2ms per hop latency including 1 retransmission
- Direct communication between Reduced Functionality Devices in the network
that would allow the IEEE 802.15.4-2006 standard to better address the 
needs of wireless critical applications such as industrial control and 
alarm systems, waste water plant control and alarm systems, robotics, and 
last meter telecom services.
