12th Meeting as a Task Group 4n IEEE 802.15 TG4n Chinese Medical Band Closing Report 12th Meeting as a Task Group 4n Waikoloa, HI May 15, 2014

Meeting Accomplishments Letter Ballot (LB-93) Results: Voter: 134, Voted: 103, Voting Rate: 76.87% Yes 90　(87%), No 5 (5%), Abstain 8 (8%) LB-93 Passed with 236 comments d1P802-15-4n_Draft_Standard.pdf

Meeting Accomplishments Reviewed the 236 commends from LB93. Talked to the major commenters about their comments. The left ones are related to “TX to RX turnaround time” and RX to TX turnaround time parameter. Attended SC-Maintanance to keep track of base document d1P802-15-4n_Draft_Standard.pdf

TX to RX time < or min(AFIS, SIFS), whichever is easier to do.

Scope of CMB Task Group Draft an amendment of 802.15.4 for MBAN This amendment defines a physical layer for IEEE Std. 802.15.4 utilizing the approved 174-216 MHz, 407-425 MHz and 608-630 MHz medical bands in China. This amendment defines modifications to the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer needed to support this new physical layer. Arthur Astrin

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> CMB Background Wireless connectivity is already used for healthcare applications both within hospitals and in residential situations. This provides flexibility to clinicians and healthcare providers and mobility and convenience for the patients. Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPAN) are already widely being used for this. Applications include electrocardiography and the monitoring of pulse oximetry, blood pressure and glucose levels as well as other patient vital signs like respiration, heart rate and temperature. In China as in the US, LR-WPAN is part of the growing Internet of Things Industries; it has been applied in hospital areas for medical and related info communications. IEEE Std. 802.15.4 Chinese medical devices will make use of the existing high volume applications in the Chinese medical bands.   Arthur Astrin <author>, <company>
