General sub-group decisions <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 General sub-group decisions It was decided that the System Requirements and the Selection Criteria will be two separate documents Less detail in System Requirements, lots of details in Selection Criteria It was decided that priority should be given to indoor applications Alireza Seyedi, Philips <author>, <company>

Sys Req Doc: Modifications Section 3.0 <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 Sys Req Doc: Modifications Section 3.0 The issue of the effect of antenna gain on the meaning of rate/range requirement was discussed. Possible solutions: Specify at what antenna gain the rate/range must be satisfied Specify at what received power the rate/range must be satisfied It was decided to address this issue in Selection Criteria Document Alireza Seyedi, Philips <author>, <company>

Sys Req Doc: Modifications Section 3.0 <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 Sys Req Doc: Modifications Section 3.0 The existence of two type of applications, namely “point-to-point” and “WPAN”, were discussed. Definition Different rate/range requirements Compliance to MAC This issue is related to the effect of antenna gain on rate/range It was decided that the compliance to MAC to be addressed in Selection Criteria document Alireza Seyedi, Philips <author>, <company>

Sys Req Doc: Modifications Section 3.0 <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 Sys Req Doc: Modifications Section 3.0 First paragraph was modified to make the data rates for point-to-point links “desired”. Actual rates/ranges were left to be discussed in SF 3.0 Bit Rate and Range A bit rate of at least 622 Mbps at 3 meters is required at the PHY-SAP (Service Access Point). The packet error rate used for this requirement is 8 % for 1024 octet frame body. The transmit EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) is fixed by regulatory emission limits. An additional higher bit rate at least 1 Gbps at more than 20 m for Point to Point operation is required. Another higher bit rate of at least 2 Gbps at more than 10 m for Point to Point operation is required. Figure 1 shows the reference partitioning. Old 3.0 Bit Rate and Range A bit rate of at least 622 Mbps at 3 meters is required at the PHY-SAP (Service Access Point). A preferred additional higher bit rate of at least 1 Gbps over at least 20 m for Point-to-Point operation is desired. Also, another preferred higher bit rate of at least 2 Gbps over at least 10 m for Point-to-Point operation is desired. The packet error rate used for these requirements is 8 % for 1024 octet frame body. The transmit EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) is fixed by regulatory emission limits. Figure 1 shows the reference partitioning. New Alireza Seyedi, Philips <author>, <company>

Sys Req Doc: Modifications Sections 3.0/4.0 <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 Sys Req Doc: Modifications Sections 3.0/4.0 It was decided that “requirement tables” to be deleted from sections. This included table in Section 3.0 which referred to latency requirements. Instead section 4.0 was added: 4.0 Delay The proposed system shall provide at least one mode with sufficiently low latency in order to satisfy the applications.

Sys Req Doc: Modifications Sections 5.0 (new numbering) <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 Sys Req Doc: Modifications Sections 5.0 (new numbering) Text was added to clarify that the requirement for 4 simultaneously operating piconets is based on BW available in US/Canada/Japan (7 GHz). The sentence “Combination of analog/digital broadcasting channels and digital communication channels should be supported” and the related item in the table below were removed. This was due to: Analog broadcasting does not comply with .15.3 MAC There are few analog broadcasting applications Our standard should be forward looking and not held back by legacy systems.

Sys Req Doc: Modifications Sections 5.0 (new numbering) <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 Sys Req Doc: Modifications Sections 5.0 (new numbering) 4.0 Channelization The bit rates and ranges specified in section 3.0 shall be achievable on each piconet for operation with at least 3 other piconets operating in close proximity even with some degree of performance degradation. Combination of analog/digital broadcasting channels and digital communication channels should be supported. Old 5.0 Channelization The bit rates and ranges specified in section 3.0 shall be achievable on each piconet for operation with at least 3 other piconets operating in close proximity even with some degree of performance degradation. This requirement is based on the bandwidth available in the US, Canada and Japan regulatory domains. The proposers should demonstrate the number of channels that their proposal provides in other regulatory domains, where possible. New Alireza Seyedi, Philips <author>, <company>

Sys Req Doc: Modifications Sections 7.0 (new numbering) <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> July 2005 Sys Req Doc: Modifications Sections 7.0 (new numbering) 6.0 Channel Models Performance in a multipath environment is a critical feature for the SG3c alternative PHY. Document (yy-nnn-rr) provides a reference alternative PHY channel model. The individual proposers should make use of the SG3c models as they become available as a basis for evaluating the performance of their proposals. Individuals submitting proposals that are not addressed by the RF channels selected by the group are encouraged to provide specific details of the channel models used with references to literature, use in other standards, and/or research.

Annex A (informative) Profile of Applications Table below summarizes applications submitted in response to the CFA. The applications have been arranged in the numeric order of the document number (last column). Old Annex B: (informative) Profile of Applications Table below summarizes potential applications of millimeter wavelength systems as submitted in response to the CFA.
