Autocell is involved in and a contributor to Project IEEE 802.11 Task Group V (TGV), "Wireless Network Management." The purpose of this effort is to provide amendments to the IEEE 802.11 PHY/MAC layers to enable management of attached stations in a centralized or in a distributed fashion (e.g. monitoring, configuring, and updating) through a layer 2 mechanism. Task Group V will also create an Access Point Management Information Base (AP MIB).

Autocell's goal in TGV is to encourage the adoption of mechanisms to allow for intelligent transmit power control and to facilitate automatic channel selection. In addition to the specification of protocols, Autocell supports the adoption of standard algorithms in order to ensure stable and scalable deployments.
