2. March 2004 doc.: IEEE 15-04-0161-00-004a Submission Slide 2 Philippe Rouzet, STM SG4a Orlando Technical Requirement Doc (TRD) Status 2 docs posted week 12 –TRD rev 3: 15-03-0530-03-004a_SG4a-Technical-Requirement.doc –15-04-0132-00-004a_SG4a-Contributions to Tech Req Doc.doc TRD mostly covered during sessions of Tuesday and Wednesday morning 3 modifications for rev3 : –Suppress item about cost (complexity item self sufficient) –Add precision about mobility : covers intra cell mobility, not handover nor roaming –Suppress all ref. to classes of nodes (data rate, ranging precision etc…)  if necessary, this item will be addressed in the Selection Criteria doc. Technical Editor will finalize the TRD shortly for final approval  rev 4 to happen in the repository beginning of week 13. Ask for final approval during next SG4a conf call (Wednesday 31 March, 9:30 AM Pacific Time)

3. March 2004 doc.: IEEE 15-04-0161-00-004a Submission Slide 3 Philippe Rouzet, STM SG4a Orlando Selection criteria doc (SCD) 1/4 First session dealing with SCD started March 17 th. The group agreed to start using the structure of 15.3a SCD (03031r9P802-15_TG3a-PHY- Selection-Criteria.doc) Note: in the next slides ref. to the SCD doc. are as follow : [5.6.2]

4. March 2004 doc.: IEEE 15-04-0161-00-004a Submission Slide 4 Philippe Rouzet, STM SG4a Orlando Selection criteria doc 2/4 Status Template prepared and distributed during the session. Will be posted soon. Gone through the whole content: –currently no big deviation seen as to the structure, –but obviously many adaptations to SG4a to be made, –Prioritized list of actions established (next slide) Work will continue thru the reflector, then during Conf. calls (see slide 1)

5. March 2004 doc.: IEEE 15-04-0161-00-004a Submission Slide 5 Philippe Rouzet, STM SG4a Orlando Selection criteria doc 3/4 Actions Technical Editor to work on the generic parts of the doc and provide SCD rev 0 (week 13) Main items selected for discussions (reflector and next conf call): –See next slide Link to establish with the channel model group on: –Interference item: do we take into account generic UWB interferer? [3.2.2.2] –Link budget (e.g. table) [5.6.2] –Antenna pattern to be used for the channel model (currently isotropic antenna in the SCD) [5.6.2] Ref. to applications (e.g. for form factor ): SG4a Secretary volunteers for a first contribution e.g. in [5.1.1]

6. March 2004 doc.: IEEE 15-04-0161-00-004a Submission Slide 6 Philippe Rouzet, STM SG4a Orlando Selection criteria doc 4/4 Main items selected for discussions (reflector and next conf call): Packet error rate (consider applications and 15.4 frame format) [5.5.1] Elaborate on scalability (accuracy, capacity, data rate versus range) [3.4] Elaborate on location awareness (new items such as tracking) (TD suggests first version ) [3.5] Work on data rate [5.2.1.1]: suggested to consider criteria such as mandatory rate versus power consumption (energy), synchronization needs, cell insertion duration (or similar parameters), anticipated impact on localization precision Elaborate on power consumption (add something on energy saving, battery life, …) [5.9] Structure of the PHY header [5.2.2.1] (can we start as early as now?)
