doc.: IEEE /014r8 Submission June 1999 Tom Siep, Texas InstrumentsSlide 3 Agenda 13:00Bluetooth Special Interest Group Provide a Bluetooth Protocol Overview, focus on "L2CAP and Below” 13:45 IEEE 802 –Review/Promote the Standards Process –Provide an IEEE 802 Architecture Overview focusing on OSI Reference Model and discussing the various components and interrelationships of the standards. –Define the 802 terms focusing on the Medium Access Control (MAC) Sub Layer and Physical Layer (PHY) –Provide examples of 802 Standards e.g., 802.3, , etc. Outline form only and focusing on contents page 15:00Break 15:15Open Discussion and Q&A –Discuss a roadmap on how to rewrite the pending Bluetooth Foundation v1.0 "L2CAP and Below chapters" into an IEEE format without losing anything in the translation. Feedback mechanism? –Discuss how to deal with suggestions for proposed changes to the Bluetooth spec. (such as coexistence and interoperability) –Establish a joint timeline –Promote importance of Montreal Meeting (July 5-9) to the process. –Next Steps 16:45Conclusion and action item summary 17:00Adjourn Meeting

doc.: IEEE /014r8 Submission June 1999 Tom Siep, Texas InstrumentsSlide 4 Contents Goal Brief description of the IEEE and IEEE 802 How do we map the Bluetooth Specification to the IEEE “MAC & PHY”? IEEE P802 Standards Creating a P Proposed Draft Standard Timeline Next Steps

doc.: IEEE /014r8 Submission June 1999 Tom Siep, Texas InstrumentsSlide 5 Goal Form a plan to process the Bluetooth Specification v1.0 into an IEEE Draft Standard, Layer 1 &2 we need participation from the key Bluetooth document contributors. We suggest the following: –Attend IEEE Plenary & Interim Meetings –Attend IEEE Ad Hoc & Liaison Meetings –Frequent Teleconference Calls & s The result will be that the: –Bluetooth Derivative Standard will be rock solid –Bluetooth Derivative Standard will be maintainable

The IEEE is a not-for-profit association and has more than 340,000 individual members in 150 countries. Through its technical publishing, conferences and consensus-based standards activities, the IEEE –produces 30 percent of the world's published literature in electrical engineering, computers and control technology, –holds annually more than 300 major conferences and –has more than 800 active standards with 700 under development. The IEEE is made up of 10 Regions, 36 Technical Societies, two Technical Councils, 1,400 Society Chapters, and 300 Sections.
