TG4e 15.4 MAC Enhancements 20 March, 2008
38
TG4e PAR Scope of Proposed Standard
Mar 2008

• The intention of this amendment is to enhance and
  add functionality to the 802.15.4-2006 MAC to a)
  better support the industrial markets and b)
  permit compatibility with modifications being
  proposed within the Chinese WPAN.
• Specifically, the MAC enhancements are limited
  to
• TDMA to provide a) determinism, b) enhanced
  utilization of bandwidth
• Channel Hopping to provide additional robustness
  in high interfering environments and enhance
  coexistence with other wireless networks
• GTS to increase its flexibility such as a)
  supporting peer to peer, b) the length of the
  slot, and c) number of slots
• CSMA to improve throughput and reduce energy
  consumption
• Security to add support for additional options
  such as asymmetrical keys
• Low latency to reduce end to end delivery time
  such as needed for control applications

Potential Opportunity

• This RFID SG offers a project opportunity for
  the development of a PAR and 5 Criteria toward
  drafting a standard PHY and MAC for RFID
  ultra-low energy tags and sensors which may fill
  a gap in wireless applications which reside
  anywhere between passive RFID tags and current
  IEEE 802.15 low-energy low-bit rate wireless
  standards.
• This is not addressed elsewhere, such as in
  EPCglobal or ISO. Specific problem areas include
  ambiguous radio definitions, lack of
  co-existence, excessive handshakes with
  controller or network (impacts energy
  consumption), proprietary implementations, and
  insufficient security.
• The Study Group will define the required
  co-ordination needed with groups such as the
  IEEE, the EPCglobal group, ISO/IEC, and others.

63
Objective of the IEEE 802.15 RFID the Study Group

• Determine whether there is sufficient
  participation from the RFID industry in drafting
  the PAR and Five Criteria documents required to
  become a Task Group for the purpose of developing
  a passive, semi-passive, or active RFID ultra-low
  energy tag and sensor PHY and/or MAC draft
  standard which would have
• Broad applicability
• Is a unique solution for a problem
• Is substantially different from other IEEE 802
  Standards.

64
Meeting Achievements

• Discussed the RFID SG direction.
• No presentations were made during this meeting
  session but several potential presentation
  authors have expressed intent to present during
  the May 2008 meeting in Jacksonville.
• The RFID SG Call for Contributions (CFC) document
  was substantially revised to remove a perceived
  limitation in CFC scope and to add more topics to
  help guide presenters on the type of information
  which is being sought.
• A motion was made within the RFID Study Group to
  extend the RFID Study Group for four months. The
  motion carried with a vote of 13/0/0

65
Motion Approved by Working Group

• Move that 802.15 WG extend the RFID Study
  Group for four more months in order to develop a
  PAR and 5 Criteria for a draft standard for a PHY
  and/or MAC targeting RFID and low energy sensor
  applications.
