4. Doc: IEEE 802.15-14-0027-00-0008 Submission The 1 st Teleconference Summary –Marco Hernandez reported the latest update of PHY harmonization status Clarified “6.4 Multiplexing” by inserting subclause “Multicarrier modulation” Need to replace published standard text of UWB PHY (802.15.4a) with just the reference to it. Igor Dotlic mentioned the harmonization status between NICT and DecaWave. –Qing Li reported the latest update of PHY harmonization status Qing Li suggested all the proposers to trim their text in the draft PFD because they were too detail to harmonize with each other. –There was discussion on “high-level” PFD should be a ‘high level’ description which leaves chances to propose good idea after call for contribution.

5. Doc: IEEE 802.15-14-0027-00-0008 Submission The 1 st Teleconference Summary (cont’d) –Some common features should be extracted from the current PFD to activate TG8 discussions. The extraction works are assigned as follows: PHY component: Seung-Hoon Park (Technical editor) / Marco Hernandez (PHY ad hoc leader) MAC component: Byung-Jae Kwak (Technical editor) / Qing Li (MAC ad hoc leader) –Attendees agreed that two Editors came up with a draft PFD at a proper level of description until the next teleconference. With acceptable level and acceptable contents –Seungkwon Cho(ETRI) presented “A suggestion for harmonized PAC frame structure “ (DCN: 737r0) Jan 2014 Seungkwon Cho (ETRI)Slide 5
