Please submit your application descriptions to the 802.15.SG3ca Chairman, Reed FisherRick Roberts ().
, who will manage the submission document numbers.
Background
IEEE P802.15.3-ALT PHY Study Group3c is chartered to create a Project Authorization Request (PAR) and Five Criteria (5C) for a millimeter-wave based n alternative PHY option for the standard IEEE802.15.3 2003MAC. This Call for Applications (CFA) solicits data which will help in the creation of the PAR and 5C. Documents which are already in the IEEE archives can be submitted by providing the reference number. Modified documents should be resubmitted.
The purpose of this SG is to define a project to provide a millimeter-wave based higher speed PHY enhancement amendment to the Standard IEEE P802.15.3-2003. MAC for applications which involve Imaging and Multimedia. The following summary bullets were extracted directly from document 01/532r0:
PHY
Co-exist with all IEEE802 wireless PHYs
- 60 GHz unlicensed band.
- High co-existence with all IEEE802 wireless PHYs
- Data rates in excess of 2Gbps
- Robust multi path performance
- Use of directional antennas is supported
- Frequency re-use is supported
Location Awareness enables applications such as range dependent authentication
Anticipates Use of Additional unlicensed spectrum for high rate WPANs, relieving possible spectral congestion
MAC
- Basic Us8es 02.15.3 MAC
- Amendment of 802.15.3 MAC as required to support the ALT PHY
General comments
It is anticipated that future applications will go beyond the currently defined 802.15.3 PHY capabilities, for example high data rates (multiple HDTV channels) and location awareness. Anticipated applications for 802.15.3ca include:
- Very high speed internet access
- Streaming content downloadMultimedia (Video, Voice over IP, Video on Demand, HDTV, Home Theater, etcSurround Sound Audio, Gaming)
- Real time streaming
- Indoor or outdoor use
- Inter/intra vehicle communications
- Sports/apartment complex communications
- Wireless data bus for cable replacement
Location aware applications, e.g. location dependent authorization
Digital (still) imaging (Faster, Better Resolution)
Information to be Included in the Application Description
In order to create the PAR and 5C for the millimeter-wave based ALT PHY option for the 802.15.3-2003 MAC, it is necessary to give a detailed list of the network requirements. In order to completely specify the ALT PHY requirements it is first necessary to describe the potential applications in detail. This dependency of the specifications is illustrated in Figure 1 where we see applications drive ALT PHY requirements, which in turn drive the ALT PHY layer specifications.
Figure 1: Illustration of specification dependencies
This document is a call for ALT-PHY-WPAN Application and Usage Scenarios. These scenarios need to be given in enough detail so that from a set of these descriptions we can completely specify the ALT-PHY requirements. Some examples of application characteristics to be included are: ease of use, range, power consumption, throughput rates, complexityst sensitivity , and other specific PHY requirements.
PRESENTATIONS:
