8. Draft on 5C (partial) 3. DISTINCT IDENTITY
a) Substantially different from other IEEE 802 standards.
Body area network with low-invasiveness for human body, guaranteed QoS, low power consumption is currently not being pursued by any other wireless standards Task Group.

9. Draft on 5C (partial) 3. DISTINCT IDENTITY
b) One unique solution per problem (not two solutions to a problem).
The proposed supplement will address a unique solution for body area network that enables short-range communication around human body market emerging such as continuous vital signal monitor, assistance to people with disabilities, body interaction, and entertainment, with paying attention to the safety for human body.

10. Draft on PAR (partial) 12. Scope of proposed project
This project will define a PHY and MAC for a data communication standard with low-invasiveness to human body, guaranteed QoS, low power consumption, location awareness, and robustness, within short range.
13. Purpose of proposed project
To provide an international standard for body area network with paying attention to safety for human body, low power consumption, and guaranteed QoS for continuous vital signal monitor, assistance to people with disabilities, body interaction, and entertainment
