May 2007
Summary
This proposal defines a PHY/MAC which:
Supports unlicensed operation at 60 GHz with a typical range of at least 10 m
Supports Multi-antennas to enable MIMO operation
Two PHY modes
High rates: from .1Gbps up to10Gbps on a directional link using low-overhead MAC
Supports Jumbo packets.
Network Control (Regulatory Select, Availability Vector, etc.) available on channel 60GHz, omni-directionally, using 15.4 MAC using 64/256 chips of high speed data.

8. Receiver Core Operation (pre-MAC)
May 2007
Receiver Core Operation (pre-MAC)
Select regulatory boundaries
Select set of channels from available channels
Set receivers for these channels (1 for handhelds, n for laptops, TVs)
Select antennas
Set AGC gains
Synchronize parallel correlators
Extract clock for data synchronization
Establish std version compatibility, switch to least common
Optimized for low cost simple CMOS operation, low power operation

9. Transmitter Operation
May 2007
Transmitter Operation
Select low version of firmware
Switch to 60 GHz, 1 channel transmitter
Select highest transmit power
Select antennas
Send network control
Wait for reply, switch to N channels, M antennas, T transmitters
Establish std version compatibility, switch to least common
