<September 2011>
TG4k PAR Scope of Proposed Standard
This standard is an amendment to IEEE It addresses principally those applications such as critical infrastructure monitoring. It defines an alternate PHY and only those MAC modifications needed to support its implementation. The amendment supports:
Operation in any of the regionally available licensed, license exempt, and special purpose frequency bands.
Simultaneous operation for at least 8 co-located orthogonal networks
Application data rate of less than 40 kbits per second
Propagation path loss of at least 120 dB
> 1000 endpoints per mains powered infrastructure
Asymmetric application data flow
Extreme difference in capabilities and performance between endpoint devices and coordinating devices (collectors)
Coordinator may support all standardized modulations (MCS) and data rates
Coordinator may be required to support antenna diversity or antenna beam steering
End point must be able to conserve energy
Reliable operation in dramatically changing environments (no control over environment). This amendment also provides mechanisms that enable coexistence with other systems in the same band(s) including IEEE , , and systems

3. Purpose of Proposed Standard
April 19

<September 2011>
Purpose of Proposed Standard
The purpose of this amendment is to facilitate point to multi-thousands of points communications for critical infrastructure monitoring devices. The amendment addresses the application’s user needs of minimal network infrastructure, and enables the collection of scheduled and event data from a large number of non-mains powered end points that are widely dispersed, or are in challenging propagation environments. To facilitate low energy operation necessary for multi-year battery life, the amendment minimizes network maintenance traffic and device wake durations. In addition, the amendment addresses the changing propagation and interference environments.
