Proposal

• The purpose of this project is to provide
  highspeed PHY enhancement to 802.15 Task Group 3
  for applications which involve Imaging and
  Multimedia.
• PHY
• Co-exist with all IEEE802 wireless PHYs
• Target data rate in excess of 100 Mbps
• Robust multipath performance
• Location Awareness
• Targeting new spectrum
• MAC
• Uses TG3 MAC
• Will not interfere with TG3 progress
• Anticipated study group will draw in new resources

4
Broad Market Potential

• Emerging applications go beyond the currently
  defined PHY capabilities, for example high data
  rates and location awareness.
• Applications include
• Multimedia (Video, Voice over IP, HDTV, Home
  Theater, Surround Sound Audio, Gaming)
• Location aware applications, e.g. location
  dependent authorization
• Digital (still) imaging (Faster, Better
  Resolution)
• Support currently includes Motorola, Time Domain,
  XtremeSpectrum, Intel, TI and Sony.

5
Coexistence

• Will conform to the 802 standards guidelines
  imposed on 802.15.
• Study Group will work with 802.15.2.
• Will cooperate with the 802 Coexistence TAG.
• Study Group will consult with IEEE802 Regulatory
  Task Group.

6
Distinct Identity

• Targeted data rate in excess of 100 Mbps for
  embeddable consumer applications.
• Location Awareness enables applications such as
  range dependent authentication.
• Uses Additional unlicensed spectrum for high rate
  WPANs, relieving spectral congestion.

7
Technical Feasibility

• PHY - 100 Mbps prototypes are operational in
  emerging technologies.
• For example, UWB addresses
• High Data Rate
• Location Awareness
• Coexistence
• Technology is scaleable to other data rates
  (higher or lower) and ranges without sacrificing
  power efficiency.

8
Regulatory Feasibility

• Need to address regulatory approvals
• Explore existing and emerging bands
• 25 and 60 GHz
• UWB (pending FCC approval)
• As per document 01/516r0 noting anticipation of
  FCC approval in Dec 2001.

9
Economic Feasibility

• Bill of Materials expected to be same or less
  than current 802.15.3 PHY.
• Current ASIC estimates and discrete bill of
  materials provide validation.
