3. Responsibilities of a SG
12 November 2003
Responsibilities of a SG
Generate a PAR
Project Approval Request
Defines the scope of the project
Complete 802 LMSC 5 criteria
Ensures that new standards in 802 will address new markets, not just another way of doing something

Applications beyond
Applications requiring mobility faster than 11 mph, such as:
Tire pressure
Assets in vehicles (in-car communications)
Drive-by
Drop boxes
Drive-by AMR
Toll booths
Applications requiring robustness or fewer retransmissions in multipath environments, such as:
Industrial mission-critical
Airplanes
Ships / engine rooms
Gaming
New WINA alliance one example of this need
Applications requiring ranging accuracy better than 0.5 meters, such as:
Asset tracking (active RFID)
Personnel tracking
Motion detection
Automatic network installation

Applications that desire enhanced performance over
Applications desiring extended range, such as:
Meter Reading
Building Automation
And other longer-range applications where repeaters are not practical

Proposal
New projects (e.g. SGs) in need to honor the scope/charter of IEEE
SG4a should be complementary, i.e. adding to the market of
Low cost
Low data rate
Low complexity
Global

Proposal
SG4a should focus on applications not fully serviced by 15.4
Mobility
Greater than 11 mph
Robustness
Handling greater interference
Ranging
Reasonable accuracy (.5 meter?)
Extended Range
5-10 dB additional link margin
