It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein. Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards publication even though it may include portions of this contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE. Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures <http:// ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802 Working Group.

Scope from PAR…(ref. 06-0340) November 2006 This project will define a standard or an amendment for short range, wireless communication in the vicinity of, or inside a human body*. It will use frequency bands approved for exclusive use in medical applications. Example of such bands are: USA, EU, Japan, and others 402 - 405 MHz frequency band on shared and secondary basis EU:   608-614 MHz, Also used for radio astronomy, New Zealand:  202.65-205.15 MHZ Wireless Medical Telemetry Band Plan of FCC: 608-614 MHz, also for radio astronomy and UHF TV 1395-1400 MHz 1427-1432 MHz, also used for non-medical telemetry Wireless Medical Telemetry Band Plan of Japan: Type A (BW < 8.5kHz)  Appointed bands between 420.05 – 449.6625 MHz  Type B (8.5kHz < BW < 16kHz)  Appointed bands between 420.0625 – 449.6375 MHz  Type C (16kHz < BW < 32kHz)  Appointed bands between 420.075 – 449.6 MHz  Type D (32kHz < BW < 64kHz)  Appointed bands between 420.1 – 449.525 MHz  Type E (64kHz < BW < 320kHz)  Appointed bands between 420.3 – 449.425 MHz Except for 430 – 440 MHz (for amateur radio) * Not exclusive to humans but not including giraffes until 15.5 done Arthur Astrin
