LtdSlide 3 PAR: TG3c Title Millimeter-wave based Alternative Physical Layer Extension for IEEE Standard titled “Part 15: Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for High Rate Personal Area Networks (WPANs)”

doc.: IEEE c TG3c January 2007 R. Fisher, Oki Electric Industry co. LtdSlide 4 PAR: TG3c Scope This project will define a 25 to 100 GHz (millimeter wave) alternative PHY clause for higher data rate amendment to Standard This frequency range allows for the USA and Japanese unlicensed allocations and expected unlicensed allocations in other countries. Data rates will be at least 1 Gbps under normal operating conditions with a typical range no less than 10meters

doc.: IEEE c TG3c January 2007 R. Fisher, Oki Electric Industry co. LtdSlide 5 PAR: TG3c Purpose The purpose is to standardize an alternative PHY that can achieve higher data rate transmission, higher spectral re-use via optional directional antennas, and superior coexistence than existing wireless system. Multiple data rates will be offered. Data rates of at least 1 Gbps, will satisfy an evolutionary set of consumer multi-media industry needs for WPAN communications. Additional Explanatory Notes (Excerpted): High data rates of more than 2Gbps will be required for simultaneous time dependent applications such as multiple HDTV video streams without sacrificing the requirements for low complexity and low power consumption

Patents IEEE standards may include the known use of essential patents and patent applications provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents whose infringement is, or in the case of patent applications, potential future infringement the applicant asserts will be, unavoidable in a compliant implementation of either mandatory or optional portions of the standard [essential patents]. This assurance shall be provided without coercion and prior to approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent or patent application becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be a letter that is in the form of either: a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not enforce any of its present or future patent(s) whose use would be required to implement either mandatory or optional portions of the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity complying with the standard; or b) A statement that a license for such implementation will be made available without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination. This assurance shall apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard's approval to the date of the standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable during that period.
