NIST ROADMAP
Quotes from the latest NIST report, June 2009:
Everything already on the grid is legacy, and must be supported for years.
The most significant challenge of interoperability is, and will continue to be, interoperability with the installed legacy systems, while addressing interfaces between new and yet to be established devices, systems and domains constituting the Smart Grid.
Hence the necessity of an all-inclusive common platform
Globally, the same objectives apply (e.g., UTC request for harmonization with Canadian 1800 MHz allocation)

5. Common Platform Proposal
<month year>

July 2009
Common Platform Proposal
CPP is an on-going effort, for developing a cohesive workable Common Platform Proposal
Goal is a sensible and sound standard for SUN
Legacy devices (minimal orphans)
Future evolution (data rates up through 400kbps)
Low energy devices (avoid energy inelegance)
Operation in different frequency bands worldwide
CPP sub group chaired by Clint Powell and Ben Rolfe was created at the suggestion of TG4g Chairman to help merge the various FSK/GFSK Proposals

Participation in CPP
IEEE-SA is an open, consensus driven standards organization, which encourages inclusion
Most parties have been actively participating in the CPP effort; most PHY parameters are well known and in use worldwide
CPP is an all-inclusive effort. Much work needs to be done.
We feel participation in the combined efforts of the CPP is vital to g so the global smart-grid initiatives can be supported in an efficient fashion

8. Conclusions Drive toward multi-PHY amendment - The Tri-PHY
July 2009
Conclusions
Drive toward multi-PHY amendment - The Tri-PHY
Proposal consistent with scope of approved SUN PAR
Support millions of users at low data rates
Robust and available
Low cost and ubiquitous
Operation in unlicensed spectrum
Support for both low-energy and line-powered devices
Support for operation in other available frequency bands.
Applications supported by this proposal are consistent with those proposed by utilities and manufacturers during PAR approval process and in tutorials
