Doc: IEEE Submission September 2010 Marco, NICT, et.al.Slide 1 Project: IEEE P Working Group for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) Submission Title: [MAC-UWB meeting] Date Submitted: [15th of September 2010] Source: [ Marco Hernandez, et. al.] Company: [NICT, et. al.] Address: [3-4 Hikarino-oka, Yokosuka, , Japan] Voice:[ ], Fax: [ ], [] Re: [ MAC-UWB meeting] Abstract:[Some proposed resolutions in sub-clause 10 depend on the MAC sub-clause. Thus, UWB sub- group addresses the MAC sub-group for discussion] Purpose:[Material for discussion] Notice:This document has been prepared to assist the IEEE P It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s).

Doc: IEEE Submission Clarification The present comments-resolution in sub- clause 10 are not intended to be passed to the MAC sub-group, but rather the UWB sub-group requires some clarifications and a slight table modification. September 2010 Marco, NICT, et.al.Slide 2

Doc: IEEE Submission September 2010 Marco, NICT, et.al.Slide 3 D0 Comment S10-5, S Comment: "high QoS mode" is not defined at all. Proposed change: Define clearly what the "high QoS mode" means.

Doc: IEEE Submission Introduction In the baseline agreement with WiBAN, we have a “high QoS” mode meant for critical medical applications that require more robust performance. Defining QoS for PHY and MAC involves different parameters. The impasse can be solved with traffic classification. September 2010 Marco, NICT, et.al.Slide 4

Doc: IEEE Submission September 2010 Marco, NICT, et.al.Slide 5 Proposed Resolution(s) High QoS mode in the UWB PHY is meant for “critical medical applications”. This would enable implementers to use differential coherent modulatio for those applications. We would like to use the MAC classification of traffic priorities as criteria for high QoS (Table 17).

Doc: IEEE Submission Proposed Resolution(s) It would require to add/modify one priority for critical medical applications.

Doc: IEEE Submission Proposed Resolution(s) High QoS mode: This mode is defined as the user priority 7 in previous Table 17 of subsection (Priority mapping). September 2010 Marco, NICT, et.al.Slide 7

Doc: IEEE Submission Introduction Several comments-resolution in sub- clause 10 make use of management directives and primitives between PHY and MAC. September 2010 Marco, NICT, et.al.Slide 9

Doc: IEEE Submission Introduction In Figure 2, page 14, Section 5.3 of the letter ballot, there is a reference to Hub Management Entity (HME) and Node Management Entity (NME). Later, the 2nd paragraph says that either HME and NME are not mandated and neither specified in the standard. Commenters for S10 emphasize the need to define those.
