Goals of the September Meeting July 2000 doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/174r0 September 2000 Goals of the September Meeting Summarize conference call results and vote on acceptance of work. Review work letter ballots to date. Resolve issues with MAC/PHY/System evaluation process. Reduce possible options by at least 50%. Determine how to reach consensus selection of final MAC/PHY. Identify NOV00 Objectives John Barr, Motorola John Barr, Motorola

July 2000 doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/174r0 September 2000 IEEE 802.15.3 PAR Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for High Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) … wireless connectivity with fixed, portable and moving devices within or entering a Personal Operating Space (POS) (up to 10 meters in all directions enveloping a person) … interoperability or coexistence with other 802.15 TG … coexistence with other wireless devices in conjunction with Coexistence Task Groups such as 802.15.2 … low complexity, low cost, low power … >20Mbps to satisfy a set of consumer multi-media industry needs for WPAN communications.

Status and Plans for TG3 Construction of Initial Draft Schedule July 2000 doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/174r0 September 2000 Status and Plans for TG3 Construction of Initial Draft Goal: everything you need to know to construct the lower layers of high rate WPAN Schedule Goal: Produce a Standard by the end of 2001 or early 2002 Next Steps Goal: Reduce number of candidate MAC/PHY, September, 2000. Select candidate MAC/PHY, November, 2000. Working Group draft, May, 2001. Sponsor ballot, November, 2001. John Barr, Motorola John Barr, Motorola

July 2000 doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/174r0 September 2000 Teleconference Calls Goal: Complete criteria document update, evaluate proposals, combine proposals into better solutions, prepare for first ranking cut. 802.15.3 General: Held every Tuesday between F2F meetings. PHY Committee: Every Thursday. MAC Committee: Every Tuesday following general 802.15.3 call. System Committee: Three special calls. John Barr, Motorola John Barr, Motorola

Proposed Process Updates July 2000 doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/174r0 September 2000 Proposed Process Updates Informative comments on evaluation criteria will be noted in appendix to 110R13 (TG3 Criteria Definitions) authored by MAC, PHY, and Systems Committee chairs. Consider MAC and PHY separately, optimizing task group resources. PLCP and PMD functionality will be defined for 802.15.3 as the basis for the initial draft MAC choice may be concluded prior to final PHY choice. John Barr, Motorola John Barr, Motorola
