January 2013 Scope of ULP TG This amendment defines an ultra low power (ULP) physical layer operating in sub 1 GHz and 2.4GHz license exempt bands supporting typical data rates up to 1 Mbps. This amendment also defines the necessary MAC changes required for supporting the new ULP physical layer. The desired peak power consumption for the PHY should be typically less than 15 mW. The full PAR document can be found at https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15/dcn/12/15-12-0386-06-004q-ulp-par.pdf. Shahriar Emami, Samsung
