Kinney, Kinney Consulting, Chair Vancouver, BC,
Canada March, 2009
Slide 19
20
TG4e PAR Scope of Proposed Standard

• 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

Slide 20
21
Purpose of Proposed Standard
This functionality facilitates Industrial applications (such as addressed by HART 7 and the ISA100 proposed standards), and those enhancements defined by the proposed Chinese WPAN standard that aren't included in TG4c. This amendment addresses coexistence with wireless protocols such as 802.11, 802.15.1, 802.15.3, and 802.15.4.
Slide 21
22
Meeting Goals

• Sub-Groups to present
• Anticipated Changes to Standard
• Backward Compatibility Description
• Application Support Levels
• TG4e will select those efforts to either move
  forward, reformulate their proposed effort, or to
  discontinue the effort

802.15.4f PAR Purpose

• Paragraph from 802.15.4f Project
  Authorization Request (PAR) document.
• 5.4 Purpose of Proposed Standard
• To provide a standard for low cost, ultra low
  energy consumption, flexible and highly reliable
  communication means and air interface protocol
  for Active RFID and sensor applications. The air
  interface should be able to support a wide range
  of needs for which active RFID systems can be
  useful and enable improved performance and
  flexibility for future mass deployments of active
  RFID systems around the world.

TG4g- PHY Amendment to 15.4 supporting Smart
Utility Networks Phil Beecher, Beecher
Consulting, Chair Vancouver, BC, Canada March,
2009
Slide 35
36
TG4g-SUN PAR Scope

• This Standard defines an amendment to IEEE
  802.15.4. It addresses principally outdoor Low
  Data Rate Wireless Smart Metering Utility Network
  requirements. It defines an alternate PHY and
  only those MAC modifications needed to support
  its implementation.
• Specifically, the amendment supports all of the
  following
• Operation in any of the regionally available
  license exempt frequency bands, such as 700MHz to
  1GHz, and the 2.4 GHz band.
• Data rate of at least 40 kbits per second but not
  more than 1000 kbits per second
• Achieve the optimal energy efficient link margin
  given the environmental conditions encountered in
  Smart Metering deployments.
• Principally outdoor communications
• PHY frame sizes up to a minimum of 1500 octets
• Simultaneous operation for at least 3 co-located
  orthogonal networks
• Connectivity to at least one thousand direct
  neighbors characteristic of dense urban
  deployment
• Provides mechanisms that enable coexistence with
  other systems in the same band(s) including IEEE
  802.11, 802.15 and 802.16 systems

Slide 36
37
TG4g-SUN PAR Purpose

• To provide a global standard that facilitates
  very large scale process control applications
  such as the utility smart-grid network. This
  amendment supports large, geographically diverse
  networks with minimal infrastructure. Smart
  Metering Utility Networks can potentially contain
  millions of fixed endpoints. The communication
  range, robustness, and coexistence
  characteristics required for this class of
  application have not been met with existing 802
  standards (See explanatory notes in Section 8.1
  Doc15-08-705).

Slide 37
38
Meeting Goals and Achievements

• Hear Presentations
• 3 responses to Call for Applications ?
• 9 responses to Call for Preliminary Proposals ?
• 4 presentations of Regulatory Considerations ?
• Review Required Supporting Documentation
• PHY Parameters Guidance ?
• Coexistence Requirements discussed scenarios,
  but more work is required on scenarios and
  metrics
• Review Timeline ?

Purpose of Proposed Standard (PAR 07-0575)

• The purpose of the proposed standard it to
  provide an international standard for a short
  range (ie about human body range), low power and
  highly reliable wireless communication for use in
  close proximity to, or inside, a human body. Data
  rates, typically up to 10Mbps, will be offered to
  satisfy an evolutionary set of entertainment and
  healthcare services. Current PANs do not meet the
  medical (proximity to human tissue) and relevant
  communication regulations for some application
  environments. They also do not support the
  combination of reliability (QoS), low power, data
  rate and noninterference required to broadly
  address the breadth of body area network
  applications.

Slide 46
47
Need for the Project (PAR 07-0575)

• There is a need for a standard optimized for
  ultra low power devices and operation on, in or
  around the human body to serve a variety of
  applications including medical and personal
  entertainment.
• Examples of the applications served by the
  proposed standard are EEG, ECG, EMG, vital
  signals monitoring (temperature (wearable
  thermometer), respiratory, wearable heart rate
  monitor, wearable pulse oximeter, wearable blood
  pressure monitor, oxygen, pH value , wearable
  glucose sensor, implanted glucose sensor, cardiac
  arrhythmia), wireless capsule endoscope
  (gastrointestinal), wireless capsule for drug
  delivery, deep brain stimulator, cortical
  stimulator (visual neuro-stimulator, audio neuro
  stimulator, Parkinsons disease, etc), remote
  control of medical devices such as pacemaker,
  actuators, insulin pump, hearing aid (wearable
  and implanted), retina implants, disability
  assistance, such as muscle tension sensing and
  stimulation, wearable weighing scale, fall
  detection, aiding sport training.
• This will include body-centric solutions for
  future wearable computers. In a similar vein, the
  same technology can provide effective solutions
  for personal entertainment as well.The existence
  of a body area network standard will provide
  opportunities to expand these product features,
  better healthcare and well being for the users.
  It will therefore result in economic opportunity
  for technology component suppliers and equipment
  manufacturers.
