The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein.
Release / The contributor acknowledges and accepts that this contribution becomes the property of IEEE and may be made publicly available by P802.15.
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS:
Application contributions are requested for the IEEE P802.15 SG3c millimeter-wave based ALT PHY Study Group. If parties are interested but are not able to submit an application by the due date, please send a letter of intent with an estimate of when an application could be expected.
RELEASE DATE: June 1, 2004
DUE DATE: August 31, 2004
Please submit your application descriptions to the 802.15.SG3c Chairman, Reed Fisher ().
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 alternative PHY for the standard IEEE802.15.3 2003. This Call for Applications (CFA) solicits data which will help in the creation of the PAR and 5C.
The purpose of this SG is to define a project to provide a millimeter-wave based PHY enhancement amendment to the Standard IEEE P802.15.3-2003.
PHY
· 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
MAC
· Basic 802.15.3 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). Anticipated applications for 802.15.3c include:
· Very high speed internet access
· Streaming content download (Video on Demand, HDTV, Home Theater, etc)
· Real time streaming
· Indoor or outdoor use
· Intra vehicle communications
· Sports/apartment complex communications
· Wireless data bus for cable replacement
Information to be Included in the Application Description
In order to create the PAR and 5C for the millimeter-wave based ALT PHY for 802.15.3-2003 , 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, complexity sensitivity and other specific PHY requirements.
PRESENTATIONS:
You can present your proposed application at the July 2004 Plenary meeting, the September 2004 Interim meeting, and the November 2004 Plenary meeting.
o July 11-16, 2004, Portland Hilton & Executive Tower, Portland, OR,
802 Plenary Meeting.
o September 12-17, 2004, Estrel Hotel Berlin, Berlin, Germany,
802.15 Interim Meeting.
o November 14-19, 2004, Hyatt Regency San Antonio, San Antonio, TX,
