Proposed Resolution of D0 Comment S6-485 <September 2010> Proposed Resolution of D0 Comment S6-485 Comments relative to low power wake-up radio bit (6.6.2 PHY Capability). <IMEC The Netherlands>

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#1> <September 2010> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#1> <September 2010> D0 Comment S6-485 6.6.2 PHY Capability Comment: Currently, there is only one bit which is linked with low power wake up radio in Figure 37 of MAC proposal (PHY Capability format). Proposed Change: More details are to be filled in for the low power radio bit. Otherwise wakeup radios will not be compatible; wakeup radio will not be able to wake up the node. <IMEC The Netherlands>

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#1> <September 2010> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#1> <September 2010> Analysis: The low power wake up radio functionality has been indicated with one bit in the PHY capability format. However, there is no other information regarding this. Featured by ultra-low power channel monitoring, it is important for the BAN radio to facilitate this functionality. To make this functionality consistent to the other rest of the MAC proposal, a control frame structure and a mode shift IE (between the normal mode and the low power wake up radio mode) are proposed in details. <IMEC The Netherlands>

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#1> <September 2010> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#1> <September 2010> Proposed Resolution: Add to “Table 3 — Frame Type and Frame Subtype field encoding” p.31, the following row in order to support low power wake-up types Table 3 — Frame Type and Frame Subtype field encoding Since we added the Frame Subtype “Low power wake-up”, then we have to define its format. So, we add the 6.4.9 paragraph at the end of the “6.4 Control type frames” . Below is the text . 6.4.9 Duty cycle control can be applied to the main radio or with a separate low power wake-up radio, as specified in 6.6.2 PHY capability. For the out-of-band low power wake-up packet, the packet format is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1:Low power wake-up packet format Flag bit is used to indicate if there is payload part included or not. Optional payload part contains link configuration information of the main radio, such as PHY interface selection, modulation scheme, channel, coding rate. The payload of the wake-up packet is illustrated in Figure 2.

It is optionally contained in the Connection Request frames to enable out-of-band low power wake-up radio mode.

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#1> <September 2010> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#1> <September 2010> Duty cycle indicator is used to inform the coordinator about the duty cycle control used by the low power wake-up radio. The low power wake-up radio can adopt continuous channel monitoring or follow the same duty cycle control as indicated by wakeup phase and wakeup period in the Connection Request frame 6.3.6.
