2. Conform to Current Regulatory Rules

Conform to Current Regulatory Rules
USA’s FCC, Japan’s MPT and Europe’s ETSI
Minimize the time-to-market by conforming to the current FCC rule set.
Avoid a lengthy FCC debate with an uncertain outcome.
Avoid burdening with the need to lobby the FCC to assume a new position different than the NPRM.
Avoids opening the 2.4 GHz band up to detrimental, under-regulated signals.

Target at Least 33 Mbps
22 Mbps HRb may not provide adequate throughput rates for desired applications.
33 Mbps appears to provide significantly higher throughputs.
HRb standard should provide a path to data rates higher than 22 Mbps, if feasible.
Avoids a need to return the standards process yet again.

CCK Extensions for HRb
High-data-rate extensions to the CCK waveform exist which are compatible with the FCC rules (spreading codes).
High-data-rate extensions to the CCK waveform exist which reach a minimum of 33 Mbps.
The CCK extensions perform well in thermal noise (AWGN).
We are currently analyzing the performance for multipath and multipath-plus-noise.
