Data downloads “wireless firewire”
P-P
Examples:
“Ipod-like” device
Digital camcorder
For near-term applications, it might be proposed that most applications will require either
Short, high data rate bursts
2 Gbps or greater or
Very long, but lower data rate streams
~ 1 Gbps (possibly even lower)
Very low latency
Very high QOS

4. MAC for 802.15.3c Applications Questions and Concerns:
18 January 2005
MAC for c Applications Questions and Concerns:
What, in general, is the limiting factor for the proposed MAC in regards to maximum data rates?
Latency
Overhead
QOS
Others?
Will the MAC, as is, support ~2.5 Gbps data rates? What is maximum?
Could subset of MAC be implemented that may ease data rate restrictions? At what costs?

5. Is MAC most able to support multi-gigabit data rates for
18 January 2005
Is MAC most able to support multi-gigabit data rates for
Burst-type transmissions vs
Continuous streaming ?
Or are both modes equally supported?
Recommendations from gurus on how to proceed
What areas to watch
Contacts and liaisons
Champion for .3c application
