doc.: IEEE dep Submission Slide 5 Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. –Participants [Note: Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2]: “Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents –“Personal awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder may have a potential Essential Patent Claim,” even if the participant is not personally aware of the specific patents or patent claims “Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of such potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents) –The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group –Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged –No duty to perform a patent search Jussi Haapola(CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission Slide 7 If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance: –Either speak up now or –Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or –Cause an LOA to be submitted Call for Potentially Essential Patents Jussi Haapola(CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings l All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. l Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. l Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. l Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. l Technical considerations remain primary focus l Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. l Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. l Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed … do formally object See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

doc.: IEEE dep Submission CASE 1: New innovative technologies for driving safety and collision avoidance need more reliable and secure wireless links for remote sensing and controlling. Current focused collision avoidance radar may be extended to inter-vehicle wireless networks exchanging useful information to avoid collisions and keep safe. Responses to CFI Slide 12Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission No technical details presented in this case, need to inquire details. Comments on Case1 Slide 13Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission CASE 2: Internal wireless networks inside a car. In a driver and passenger room of car, wired connection of air conditioner, audio/video system, power windows etc. can be easily replaced with wireless because requirement for reliability of the network is not tough. In an engine space, however, brake, controller, and acceleration and other mission controlling systems need quite higher reliability, so wireless seems no safer than wired. Slide 14Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission Non-mission critical solutions are targeted here Again, no technical details from which to derive information Need to inquire specifics. Comments on Case 2 Slide 15Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission CASE3: Factory automation in car assembly. Weight of cables and restrict of mobility for sensing and controlling with current wired networks may be solved by wireless networks if reliability and robustness against any interference in a noisy factory environment can be guaranteed. Slide 16Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission Lack of technical details prevents analysis of case feasibility. Need to inquire technical details. Comments on Case 3 Slide 17Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission CASE 4: In case to apply for controlling signals for remote industrial robots. Currently a teaching box and robot controller has been connected with wire but it should be replaced with wireless because of no need of cable and then no need to maintain a cable. An operator can move with teaching box freely anywhere. Slide 18Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission No technical requirements presented. Need to inquire technical details. Comments on Case 4 Slide 19Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission CASE 5: In case to apply for controlling sensors and actuators at manufacturing line in a factory. Wireless controlling results in no need maintenance of cable, no need of cable space, and reconnection according to reordering the process. Slide 20Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission Have you tried wireless solutions? -What worked and what did not (be specific). Although I have evaluated a basic trial with primitive hard sets, I could not get satisfied results. What is missing with what you tried? -What are the essential performance requirements for your applications’ communications link, whether that link is wired or wireless? In both wired and wireless cases, strict requirement for the solution is not so easy to satisfy such as a period of cyclic operation signals such as 500micro seconds, real time response less than some 10micro sec., communication reliability with PER less than 10 to the -6th. Analysis of Case 5 Slide 21Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission Real-time requirements of this case are severe, even for wired links. Need to have more detailed discussions with the case proposer to get more details and identify if criteria can be loosened. Comments from Case 5 Slide 22Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission Case 6: Creating a wireless sensor network inside the car is of high interest to save weight and simplify production. Slide 23Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015

doc.: IEEE dep Submission Need more details to identify if a new standards effort is required. Comments on Case 6 Slide 24Jussi Haapola (CWC/UoO) January 2015
