8. doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/069r0 Submission March 2000 Robert F. Heile, GTESlide 8 Broad Market Potential Activity has generated intense interest with support from over 35 companies. Applications include: –Digital (Still) Imaging –Multimedia (Video, Voice over IP) –Many-user systems –Kiosk for imaging, MP3, coupons…… –Toys, robots

9. doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/069r0 Submission March 2000 Robert F. Heile, GTESlide 9 Distinct Identity There are no 20+Mbits/s high data rate systems that satisfy the needs for short range, ultra low cost, ultra low power,embeddable wireless communications in consumer class products. Such systems are optimized for speed vs range and are intended to utilize 802.11or Ethernet as the backbone network. 802.15.1 addresses the requirements of an embeddable consumer oriented WPAN, but not the speed requirements of 20+Mbits/s.

10. doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/069r0 Submission March 2000 Robert F. Heile, GTESlide 10 PAR Scope This project will define the PHY and MAC specifications for high data rate (see 13a) wireless connectivity with fixed, portable and moving devices within or entering a Personal Operating Space (POS) (See 13b). A goal of the WPAN-HR (High Rate) Task Group will be to achieve a level of interoperability or coexistence with other 802.15 Task Groups, or an 802.11 device (see 13c). It is also the intent of this project to work toward a level of coexistence with other wireless devices in conjunction with Coexistence Task Groups such as 802.15.2.

11. doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/069r0 Submission March 2000 Robert F. Heile, GTESlide 11 PAR Purpose To provide a standard for low complexity, low cost, low power consumption, high data rate wireless connectivity among devices within or entering the Personal Operating Space (POS). The data rate will be high enough, 20 Mbps or more (see 13a), to satisfy a set of multimedia industry needs for WPAN communications. The project will also address the Quality of Service capabilities required to support multimedia data types.
