Background TG6 Call for Applications closed May 08 (Jacksonville) July 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.15-0524 July 2008 Background TG6 Call for Applications closed May 08 (Jacksonville) Upcoming Call for Proposals requires an IEEE complaint document detailing the applications to be supported by proposals Applications Matrix has been useful for developing a categorisation scheme and analysing technical requirements However, insufficient by itself for proposal design and evaluation Daniel Lewis et. al., NICTA Daniel Lewis et. al., NICTA

July 2008 Document purpose To collate identified 802.15.6 applications into a single design document which will be distributed with the call for proposals. To provide a single point of reference (and application reference numbers) which can be used as a common point of reference when evaluating and comparing call for proposal responses. To identify omitted or erroneous application information requiring updating before distribution with a call for proposals. Refine the applications matrix categorization scheme through use.
