3. doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0268r0 Feb 2011 Ping Fang, Huawei Submission Slide 3 About IEEE 802.11ah –This amendment defines an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Physical layer (PHY) operating in the license-exempt bands below 1 GHz, e.g., 868- 868.6 MHz (Europe), 950 MHz -958 MHz (Japan), 314-316 MHz, 430-434 MHz, 470- 510 MHz, and 779-787 MHz (China), 917 – 923.5 MHz (Korea) and 902-928 MHz (USA), and enhancements to the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) to support this PHY, and provides mechanisms that enable coexistence with other systems in the bands including IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE P802.15.4g. –The data rates defined in this amendment optimize the rate vs. range performance of the specific channelization in a given band. –This amendment also adds support for: transmission range up to 1 km data rates > 100 kbit/s while maintaining the 802.11 WLAN user experience for fixed, outdoor, point to multi point applications.

8. doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0268r0 Feb 2011 Ping Fang, Huawei Submission Use Case 2: Scenario Description Location in Shopping Mall –When you enter a big shopping mall, a digital map of the shops will be downloaded to your iPad (802.11ah STA), and the APs in the shopping mall will help to position you –If you want to go directly to some specific shop, you will find the route on your iPad with location from APs –Similar scenario can be found in Theme Park (Try to find some specific attraction) Find your car in Public Parking –When you come back to get your car after shopping, it is possible that you have forget where your car is. You check from your iPad (802.11ah STA) to get locationfrom AP, the AP will try to position your car (with a 802.11ah STA), and display the parking lot and guide you to your car Slide 8
