doc.: IEEE /1407r1 Submission January 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 10 P Title: Standard for a Convergent Digital Home Network for Heterogeneous Technologies 5.2 Scope: The standard defines an abstraction layer for multiple home networking technologies. The abstraction layer provides a common data and control Service Access Point to the heterogeneous home networking technologies described in the following specifications: IEEE P1901, IEEE , IEEE and MoCA 1.1. The standard is extendable to work with other home networking technologies. The abstraction layer supports dynamic interface selection for transmission of packets arriving from any interface (upper protocol layers or underlying network technologies). End-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) is supported. Also specified are procedures, protocols and guidelines to provide a simplified user experience to add devices to the network, to set up encryption keys, to extend the network coverage, and to provide network management features to address issues related to neighbor discovery, topology discovery, path selection, QoS negotiation, and network control and management. 5.3 Is the completion of this standard dependent upon the completion of another standard: No 5.4 Purpose: The abstraction layer common interface allows applications and upper layer protocols to be agnostic to the underlying home networking technologies. The purpose of the standard is to facilitate the integration of P1901 with other home networking technologies. Additionally the purpose of the standard is to define an abstraction layer that allows: Common Network Setup among heterogeneous network technologies defined in the PAR and provide same user experience in the process of adding a device to the network and the same user experience while setting an encryption key; Intelligent network interface and path selection for delivery of packets that provides Improved coverage performance, Improved data rate on poorest link, Improved network capacity, Improved network reliability and QoS, support for end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for different traffic classes; Seamless / transparent path switching; Real time mapping of connection links and paths for each traffic class / stream; Green - energy management. Monday Agenda Item 4.1.9

doc.: IEEE /1407r1 Submission January 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 11 P Need for the Project: A convergent specification would be beneficial to the industry suppliers, OEMs and the market, not only in terms of delivering products to the market earlier, and healing the fragmented market, but also towards building synergies between different protocols and improving performance for the applications they support. The convergent specification would also address the following: *It would facilitate the installation and the operation/management of multi- technology devices in home networks. *It would improve the end-user experience and open doors to new markets. *It would provide a scalable and reusable specification for present and future technologies. *It would enhance the opportunity to use Quality of Service (QoS)-sensitive applications over a multi-technology home network.

doc.: IEEE /1407r1 Submission January 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 27 P Liaison Request Dear Mr. Kraemer: The Convergent Digital Home Network Working Group has been pursuing work as stated in the Scope of IEEE P1905.1, Standard for a Convergent Digital Home Network for Heterogeneous Technologies: “The standard defines an abstraction layer for multiple home networking technologies. The abstraction layer provides a common data and control Service Access Point to the heterogeneous home networking technologies described in the following specifications: IEEE P1901, IEEE , IEEE and MoCA 1.1. The standard is extendable to work with other home networking technologies. The abstraction layer supports dynamic interface selection for transmission of packets arriving from any interface (upper protocol layers or underlying network technologies). End-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) is supported. Also specified are procedures, protocols and guidelines to provide a simplified user experience to add devices to the network, to set up encryption keys, to extend the network coverage, and to provide network management features to address issues related to neighbor discovery, topology discovery, path selection, QoS negotiation, and network control and management.” P has a unique project scope, but also has some dependencies with standards developed in other groups and organizations. Therefore we propose to coordinate our actions with yours. We would like to establish a liaison with you and request that you accept David Hunter of HD-PLC as the person to serve in that role. We look forward to hearing back from you and to working with you in the future. Paul Houzé Chair, IEEE P cc: Noelle Humenick, IEEE-SA
