doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <11 January, 2008r> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 7 May, 2008 Motivation The current GTS allocation is not efficient to support peer to peer communication The current GTS allocation scheme does not support multicast communication of some applications The current superframe structure may not offer sufficient GTS slots for different QoS levels in one WPAN as only one channel used <author>, <company>

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <11 January, 2008r> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 7 May, 2008 Enhancement on GTS Through GTS request, to support the communication between device to device and single device to multi devices Introduce channel offset attribute to GTS descriptor to support channel selection within GTS One CFP Slot may allocated to more than one node’s GTS if the difference between any of their channel offset exceeds a specified parameter aMinOffsetThreshold <author>, <company>

Suggestion: GTS Modifications Modifications of GTS attributes The extension of GTS mode to three types: P2C(device to PAN Coordinator); P2P(device to device); Multicast(device to multi-devices) Modifications of several primitives Modifications of several MAC frames Modification of MAC PIB

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <11 January, 2008r> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 7 May, 2008 Peer to Peer In order to support A->B or C->D communication A sends GTS request command frame to B which acknowledges to A. If PAN Coordinator receives both MAC frames , it allocates a new GTS to A->B if possible A Sets the mode of GTS request command to P2P, PAN Coordinator should handle the frame <author>, <company>

Multicast In order to realize C->(A,B,D) within one slot C Sends GTS request command to PAN Coordinator which acknowledges to C. PAN Coordinator allocates a new transmit GTS to C if possible

Add Channel Selection Info Add GTS attributes, such as Source device Address Destination device Address Start slot Length Mode Channel offset

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <11 January, 2008r> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 7 May, 2008 Conclusion Support Peer to Peer communication within GTS Support Multicast communication within GTS Support channel selection in order to improve throughput Not much complexity increased to protocol <author>, <company>
