6. doc.:IEEE 802.15-00/0019r1January 2000 Submission James D. Allen, Eastman Kodak Co. Slide 6 PAR Scope This project will define the PHY and MAC specifications for high data rate (see 13a) wireless connectivity with fixed, portable and moving devices within or entering a Personal Operating Space (POS) (See 13b). A goal of the WPAN-HR (High Rate) Task Group will be to achieve a level of interoperability or coexistence with other 802.15 Task Groups, or an 802.11 device (see 13c). It is also the intent of this project to work toward a level of coexistence with other wireless devices in conjunction with Coexistence Task Groups such as 802.15.2.

7. doc.:IEEE 802.15-00/0019r1January 2000 Submission James D. Allen, Eastman Kodak Co. Slide 7 PAR Purpose To provide a standard for low complexity, low cost, low power consumption, high data rate wireless connectivity among devices within or entering the Personal Operating Space (POS). The data rate will be high enough, 20 Mbps or more (see 13a), to satisfy a set of multimedia industry needs for WPAN communications. The project will also address the Quality of Service capabilities required to support multimedia data types.

Slide 8 PAR/5C Summary IS –BlueTooth tm Interoperable Goal (implies 2.4 GHz) –Consumer Priced (comparable to BT1.0) –LOW Power –Personal Area Network Range (link controlled by person) –20+ Mbps IS NOT –Office/Enterprise LAN –Business/Mission Critical –Long Range –Roaming and Enterprise coverage

9. doc.:IEEE 802.15-00/0019r1January 2000 Submission James D. Allen, Eastman Kodak Co. Slide 9 Proposal The purpose of this project is to provide high speed PHY and MAC enhancement to 802.15 Task Group 1 for applications which involve imaging, multimedia, and networks with more than 8 users in consumer devices. Bi - Modal PHY –Compatible with 802.15 Task Group 1 –20+ Mbps Multimedia Capable MAC –Isochronous –Enhancements to 802.15 Task Group 1 –Not to impede Task Group 1 progress

10. doc.:IEEE 802.15-00/0019r1January 2000 Submission James D. Allen, Eastman Kodak Co. Slide 10 Broad Market Potential Today, low bandwidth wireless systems do not satisfy the needs for consumer priced, embedded, high data rate systems. Applications include: –Digital (Still) Imaging –Multimedia (Video, Voice over IP) –Many-user systems –Kiosk for imaging, MP3, coupons…… –Toys, robots Support currently includes Motorola, Eastman Kodak, Cisco Systems.

11. doc.:IEEE 802.15-00/0019r1January 2000 Submission James D. Allen, Eastman Kodak Co. Slide 11 Compatibility Bi-Modal –The proposal will be backward compatible to the Task Group 1 1Mbps mode using the dual mode PHY layer and MAC. Is intended to conform to the 802 standards guidelines imposed on 802.15. Study Group will work with Coexistence Task Group.

Slide 12 Distinct Identity 20 Mbps High Speed Personal Area Network is not currently recognized as a Standards study group. 802.11a addresses the speed, but not the requirements of an embeddable consumer oriented WPAN or BT band compatible 802.11b does not address the speed 802.15.1 addresses the requirements of an embeddable consumer oriented WPAN, but not the speed.

13. doc.:IEEE 802.15-00/0019r1January 2000 Submission James D. Allen, Eastman Kodak Co. Slide 13 Technical Feasibility PHY - A 20 Mbps prototype is operational. –ASIC architecture has passed internal feasibility review –Prototype performance testing has started MAC - Several enhancements to 802.15 TG1 are being modeled and simulated at the Protocol and Network levels. Technology is scaleable to higher data rates and 5.8 GHz.
