Rate-range requirements: Important factors <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 Rate-range requirements: Important factors Compete with other WPAN standards Use available BW wisely Address application demand, with respect to product time-line What are the appropriate values for rate/range requirements?

Rate-range requirements: Important factors <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 Rate-range requirements: Important factors We must compete with other WPANs: UWB is cheaper, less power consuming and offers 0.5-1Gbps, and available now! 60GHz products will not come out for a few years: Demanded rates will go up Technology improves Let’s not come back and redo the standardization for higher rate later Let’s not waste the wide and clean BW we have Alireza Seyedi, Philips <author>, <company>

Suggestions for rate-range requirements <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 Suggestions for rate-range requirements 622Mbps @ 3m is too low. Let us increase it: 1.5-2 Gbps @ 3m We should specify more than one requirement point: (e.g. x Gbps @ 3m, y Gbps @ 6m, etc) The lowest rate defines the efficiency of the higher rates. Let us define a minimum rate 10% of the highest required rate Alireza Seyedi, Philips <author>, <company>
