May 2007 Proposal for 802.15.3c Technical proposal for the IEEE P802.15 Millimeter-wave based Alternative PHY Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) draft Standard (an alternative PHY to the Standard IEEE P802.15.3-2003) “Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler” - A. Einstein Arthur Astrin

Summary This proposal defines a PHY/MAC which: May 2007 Summary This proposal defines a PHY/MAC which: Supports unlicensed operation at 60 GHz with a typical range of at least 10 m Supports Multi-antennas to enable MIMO operation Two PHY modes High rates: from .1Gbps up to10Gbps on a directional link using low-overhead 802.15.3 MAC Supports Jumbo packets. Network Control (Regulatory Select, Availability Vector, etc.) available on channel 60GHz, omni-directionally, using 15.4 MAC using 64/256 chips of high speed data. Arthur Astrin
