March 2009 DSSS 863 – 870MHz band with different power limits for digital modulation systems using DSSS Duty cycle limitations do not apply to systems using Listen Before Talk techniques combined with Adaptive Frequency Agility (AFA) Slide 6 Michael Schmidt

DSSS Proposal March 2009 channels with RF bandwidth of 0.6 MHz 863.5 MHz, 864.1 MHz, 864.7 MHz with reduced power of -4.5 dBm/100 kHz 865.3 MHz, 865.9 MHz, 866.5 MHz, 867.1 MHz with increased output power of 6.2 dBm/100 kHz 868.3 MHz IEEE 802.15.4 legacy channel 868.9MHz and 869.5 MHz using -0.8 dBm/100 kHz output power channels with RF bandwidth up to 1.4 MHz 864.1 MHz with reduced power of -4.5 dBm/100 kHz 865.8 MHz and 867.2 MHz with increased output power of 6.2 dBm/100 kHz 868.3 MHz IEEE legacy channel 869.3MHz using -0.8 dBm/100 kHz output power Slide 7 Michael Schmidt

FHSS Requirements according to [2] March 2009 Listen Before Talk (LBT) has to be applied at each hopping channel. Carrier power is limited to 25 mWerp [1] Slide 8 Michael Schmidt

Listen Before Talk (LBT) March 2009 Listen Before Talk (LBT) Low Duty Cycles can be avoided when applying LBT together with Adaptive Frequency Agility (AFA) [2] Listening Period: Fixed part of 5ms Additional pseudo random part up to 5ms with 0.5 ms resolution if channel is busy at the first try Slide 9 Michael Schmidt

Listen Before Talk (LBT) March 2009 Listen Before Talk (LBT) Maximum LBT Threshold [2]: Slide 10 Michael Schmidt

To Do Specify channels for 863 – 870 MHz band depending on the PHY March 2009 To Do Specify channels for 863 – 870 MHz band depending on the PHY Update of national restrictions Consider usage of the 2.4 GHz band Consider usage of the 433 MHz band Slide 11 Michael Schmidt
