16 July 2008 Process in a Nutshell Rolfe

16 July 2008 Rolfe

Range of TG Options Amendment to 802.15.4 LR-WPAN 16 July 2008 Range of TG Options Amendment to 802.15.4 LR-WPAN New PHY MAC enhancements related to PHY Coordination with TG4e for other MAC enhancements New standard in 802.15 (Neighborly WPAN?) New NBFH PHY New MAC New WG for NAN Obviously new everything Rolfe

Pro/Con of Options Amendment to 802.15.4 LR-WPAN 16 July 2008 Pro/Con of Options Amendment to 802.15.4 LR-WPAN Most expedient (maybe) Leverages existing 15.4 inertia and synergies (ZigBee, ISA100) Most constrained approach May not satisfy all the NAN requirements Rolfe

Pro/Con of Options New standard in 802.15 16 July 2008 Pro/Con of Options New standard in 802.15 More flexible technical approach (more options) May get technically more ideal solution Avoids conflicts with legacy 15.4 Avoids bloating 802.15.4 May take longer Rolfe

Pro/Con of Options New WG for NAN 16 July 2008 Pro/Con of Options New WG for NAN Obviously new everything, most flexibility Probably take much longer (but who knows?) Up to EC to decide Rolfe
