December 18 Nov. 2006 SG4c Purpose To pave the way for amending 802.15.4-2006 to include a sub-GHz PHY appropriate for use in China. Clint Powell, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

December 18 Nov. 2006 Meeting Objectives Discuss Progress / Status of Chinese WPAN Standards activity. Review differences between 802.15.4-2006 and the proposed Chinese WPAN standard. Discuss appropriateness of preparing PAR and 5C documents at this point. Clint Powell, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

December 18 Nov. 2006 Meeting Achievements Presentation (3) on the current status of proposed Chinese WPAN Standard. Presentation (1) on differences between 802.15.4-2006 and proposed Chinese WPAN Standard. Review and discussion of basis for differences. List of questions generated by study group (included in minutes 15-06-0502-00-004c) to be fed back by Chinese WPAN Liaison (Ling Li) – answers and data requested to be reviewed and discussed in weekly calls. Clint Powell, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Meeting Achievements (cont’d.) December 18 Nov. 2006 Meeting Achievements (cont’d.) Postponed submitting of PAR and 5C docs until: Answers, data, etc. are received, reviewed. Feedback to Chinese WPAN on proposed harmonization can be generated and sent. Response received from Chinese WPAN. Clint Powell, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
