Lead in advancement of 64-bit computing Adopt best practices and new tools Partner on new hardware directions Ensure partner understanding around the Wireless USB Windows Logo Program

Unclassified Driver Signatures for 3 rd party software stacks Goals of the Windows Logo Program (WLP) for Wireless USB Wireless USB USB-IF Certification Review WUSB WLP requirements Provide the rationale used to select these requirements Timeline for initial requirements

Drivers from driver categories that are not currently defined as part of the Windows Logo Program requirements are allowed to submit drivers for signatures under the Unclassified Program Please work with Microsoft if you have any questions about this program: rvsign/dqs.mspx rvsign/dqs.mspx rvsign/dqs.mspx

Vendors developing their own WUSB host software stack on the PC need to use the Vista Unclassified Driver Signature Program The hardware must still comply with the WLP Dos and Donts for partners Partner CAN get package digitally signed Partner CAN NOT include Certified for Windows Vista or Works with Windows Vista Logos Partner CAN NOT create a press release stating that they have received certification Similar programs have been employed by other bus stacks like Bluetooth and 1394b

Ensure a great and consistent end user experience Drive towards supreme performance Large buffer size R-pipe requirements PCI vs USB attached Power Management Minimize interoperability issues Build on existing programs from USB-IF and WiMedia

USB-IF Wireless USB certification Silicon program - Available Now Device Program - Coming soon Helps communicate the brand promise to consumers Sign that the industry is ready to ship products Companies with Wireless USB Certification (as of May 2007) NECIntelAlereon

Hosts and Devices must obtain USB-IF and WiMedia certification (Connect-0078) Devices must support association models described in USB-IF specification (Connect-0066, Connect -0068) Peripherals must operate in function mode when connecting to a PC (Connect-0067) Hosts and Devices must obtain a Certified Wireless USB Logo from the USB-IF (Connect-0079)

Native Wireless USB Devices based on the Certified Wireless USB Specification must pass all relevant wired USB device class tests (Connect-0080) Ensures consistent experience with wired USB Devices based on the Certified Wireless USB specification must be self beaconing (Connect-0082) Microsoft does not currently have plans to support directed beaconing Native Wireless USB devices based on the Certified Wireless USB specification must support all data rates (Connect- 0083) Helps mitigate interoperability issues Native Wireless USB Devices must work with HWA and WHCI hosts (Connect-0084) Devices need to be compatible with all hosts types

All devices based on the Certified Wireless USB specification must support the ability to connect to different hosts (Connect-0086) Does NOT mean multiple hosts simultaneously A Host Wire Adapter must support at least 10 simultaneously connected devices (Connect-0089) Should support of all major user scenarios A Host Wire Adapter or a Device Wire Adapter must support a minimum of 64 R pipes (Connect-0087) Needed for supporting many devices simultaneously A Host Wire Adapter or a Device Wire Adapter must have at least 192k of buffer space (Connect-0088) Derived from a 3k per R-pipe requirement Enables top performance

A Host Wire Adapter must support at least 64 devices (Connect-0090) Premium logo requirement Connected simultaneously A Host Wire Adapter must pass all tests a Wired USB device is required to pass (Connect-0091) Goal is to mitigate any issues around power management/ system sleep- hibernate modes DWA Association functionality must be present downstream of a hub (Connect-0092) Composite hubs are not allowed

An internal non-removable host controller must be PCI attached(HWA not permitted) (Connect-0093) PCI attached = WHCI This encompasses any host controller that is not a dongle form factor Mini-card is considered non-removable This requirement is about performance and power management

15 * Native devices have several categories

Many ways to measure performance Throughput, Number of Errors, Data Rate Environment dependant Major focus of the WLP to ensure great performance in the majority of scenarios Numbers should only get better going forward

Using 32K transfer requests from Mass Storage Driver Using 32K transfer requests from Mass Storage Driver EHCI Baseline/Wired HD performance: 260 Mbps EHCI Baseline/Wired HD performance: 260 Mbps * Performance numbers are calculated and observed. Numbers will likely vary depending on test environment and Implementation. Information provided by USB-IF.

Program goes into effect June 2008 Complete list of requirements available in WLP v3.09 document Tests online: TBD Contact Microsoft Wireless USB team for updates on this Majority of USB-IF and WiMedia certification tests are available now Regulatory related tests per region left to device manufacturer

Silicon Manufacturers Ensure your hardware is compatible with the WLP requirements for Wireless USB Work with Microsoft to have your devices/hosts in our lab for testing! IHVs/OEMs Make sure your devices are using silicon that is USB-IF certified and WLP certifiable Drive towards WHCI Get your latest devices in Microsoft's lab!
