Major Changes Since SF Meeting <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 21 September, 2009 Major Changes Since SF Meeting Added Receiver Initiated Transmission (RIT) as an alternative low-energy mechanism to Coordinated Sampled Listening (CSL) Clarified how the upper layer can turn off and on sampled listening to reduce latency for urgent messages Wei Hong, Arch Rock Corporation <author>, <company>

Coordinated Sampled Listening (CSL) Review 21 September, 2009 Coordinated Sampled Listening (CSL) Review Receiver periodically performs channel sampling for radio traffic Every macCSLPeriod (ms) Sender transmits wakeup frame sequence prior to payload frame Full wakeup sequence (macCSLMaxPeriod) if unsynchronized with receiver, i.e., first time to send to the receiver Short wakeup sequence for guard time if synchronized with receiver Set frame pending bit for streaming traffic

Note on Channel Occupancy and Latency <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 21 September, 2009 Note on Channel Occupancy and Latency Channel Occupancy Unsynchronized transmissions are rare First time communication between nodes Broadcast traffic Synchronized transmissions have minimal channel overhead Latency Frame pending bit can be set for low latency streaming Upper layer has the option to turn off sampled listening temporarily Setting macCSLPeriod to zero on receiver Setting macCSLMaxPeriod to zero on the sender Coordination between sender and receiver Wei Hong, Arch Rock Corporation <author>, <company>

Receiver Initiated Transmission (RIT) Review 21 September, 2009 Receiver Initiated Transmission (RIT) Review Receiver periodically broadcasts datareq frames and listen for a short amount of time (macRitDataWaitPeriod) for incoming transmissions every macRitPeriod Sender waits until receiving datareq frame from receiver then immediately transmit payload frame Broadcast not directly supported Simulated by a sequence of unicasts

Tradeoff between CSL and RIT <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 21 September, 2009 Tradeoff between CSL and RIT CSL Channel sample typically takes 0.5ms Idle listen duty cycle = 0.05% when macCSLPeriod = 1000ms Achieves low energy with <= 1s per-hop latency Tradeoff between latency and energy consumption RIT Datareq frame transmission typically takes 10ms Idle listen duty cycle = 0.05% when macRitPeriod = 20s Works better when higher latency can be tolerated Works with regulations which limit continuous transmission duration (e.g., Japan) Wei Hong, Arch Rock Corporation <author>, <company>

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 21 September, 2009 Informative Annex If link latency needs to be less than a second, use CSL. If link latency can be greater, consider RIT Best with 10s of seconds of latency to reduce datareq overhead If regulation limits continuous transmission duration, use RIT Wei Hong, Arch Rock Corporation <author>, <company>
