Abstract: [This document proposes an improvement to IEEE MAC Layer for Wireless Industry Communication]
Purpose: [This document is a response to better support the industrial markets in IEEE P SG4e Call for Application on 14 November, 2007]
Notice: This document has been prepared to Make the improvement on the IEEE Std , satisfying the following key requirements of the wireless industry communication: (1) reliability; (2) deterministic Scheduling; (3) real time; (4) low power consumption..

2. Supported topology architecture
The improvements of this proposal for PHY and MAC layer can support multiple network topologies, such as star networks, tree networks etc., which are adaptive to industrial control, as shown in above Figure. Cluster-tree MESH networks is also supported in Control network.

3. GTS mechanism
While industrial communication has a high require for reliability, this proposal improved the original superframe. The superframe has an enhanced GTS mechanism, which can satisfy the requirement for industrial communication and keep the activity for transmitting data.
The superframe we adopted have such characters: (1) the period of each slot in the same superframe is identical; (2)the superframe have a 250ms period , which is consider for industrial control.

4. GTS mechanism
CAP: This period is used for network managing and is suit for dynamic network changing. CSMA-CA algorithm with priority support is used when transmitting beacon frame and command frame.
P-GTS: contention-free, for transmitting periodical data.
T-GTS: contention-free, for transmitting temporary periodical data or non-periodical critical data.
Sleep period: used for save power.

6. Precise clock synchronization
The synchronization technology is based on the MAC timestamps, the mechanism is shown in the Figure. The timestamp is captured in SFD interruption. The timestamp is added at the end of the message when it is send. The synchronization error is within a tick in the star network.
