The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE.
Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures < ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802 Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at

4. Scope from PAR…(ref. 06-0340) January 2007
This project will define a standard or an amendment for short range, wireless communication in the vicinity of, or inside a human body*. It will use frequency bands approved for exclusive use in medical applications. Example of such bands are:
USA, EU, Japan, and others MHz frequency band on shared and secondary basis
EU:   MHz, Also used for radio astronomy, New Zealand:  MHZ
Wireless Medical Telemetry Band Plan of FCC:
MHz, also for radio astronomy and UHF TV
MHz
MHz, also used for non-medical telemetry
Wireless Medical Telemetry Band Plan of Japan:
Type A (BW < 8.5kHz)
 Appointed bands between – MHz
 Type B (8.5kHz < BW < 16kHz)
 Appointed bands between – MHz
 Type C (16kHz < BW < 32kHz)
 Appointed bands between – MHz
 Type D (32kHz < BW < 64kHz)
 Appointed bands between – MHz
 Type E (64kHz < BW < 320kHz)
 Appointed bands between – MHz
Except for 430 – 440 MHz (for amateur radio)
* Not exclusive to humans but not including giraffes until 15.5 done
