10. P1905.1 Monday Agenda Item 4.1.9 January 2011
2.1 Title: Standard for a Convergent Digital Home Network for Heterogeneous Technologies
5.2 Scope: The standard defines an abstraction layer for multiple home networking technologies. The abstraction layer provides a common data and control Service Access Point to the heterogeneous home networking technologies described in the following specifications: IEEE P1901, IEEE , IEEE and MoCA 1.1. The standard is extendable to work with other home networking technologies.
The abstraction layer supports dynamic interface selection for transmission of packets arriving from any interface (upper protocol layers or underlying network technologies). End-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) is supported.
Also specified are procedures, protocols and guidelines to provide a simplified user experience to add devices to the network, to set up encryption keys, to extend the network coverage, and to provide network management features to address issues related to neighbor discovery, topology discovery, path selection, QoS negotiation, and network control and management.
5.3 Is the completion of this standard dependent upon the completion of another standard: No
5.4 Purpose: The abstraction layer common interface allows applications and upper layer protocols to be agnostic to the underlying home networking technologies. The purpose of the standard is to facilitate the integration of P1901 with other home networking technologies.
Additionally the purpose of the standard is to define an abstraction layer that allows: Common Network Setup among heterogeneous network technologies defined in the PAR and provide same user experience in the process of adding a device to the network and the same user experience while setting an encryption key; Intelligent network interface and path selection for delivery of packets that provides Improved coverage performance, Improved data rate on poorest link, Improved network capacity, Improved network reliability and QoS, support for end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for different traffic classes; Seamless / transparent path switching; Real time mapping of connection links and paths for each traffic class / stream; Green - energy management.

P1905.1
5.5 Need for the Project: A convergent specification would be beneficial to the industry suppliers, OEMs and the market, not only in terms of delivering products to the market earlier, and healing the fragmented market, but also towards building synergies between different protocols and improving performance for the applications they support.
The convergent specification would also address the following:
*It would facilitate the installation and the operation/management of multi-technology devices in home networks.
*It would improve the end-user experience and open doors to new markets.
*It would provide a scalable and reusable specification for present and future technologies.
*It would enhance the opportunity to use Quality of Service (QoS)-sensitive applications over a multi-technology home network.

28. P1905.1 Liaison Request January 2011
Dear Mr. Kraemer:
The Convergent Digital Home Network Working Group has been pursuing work as stated in the Scope of IEEE
P1905.1, Standard for a Convergent Digital Home Network for Heterogeneous Technologies:
“The standard defines an abstraction layer for multiple home networking technologies. The
abstraction layer provides a common data and control Service Access Point to the
heterogeneous home networking technologies described in the following specifications:
IEEE P1901, IEEE , IEEE and MoCA 1.1. The standard is extendable to work
with other home networking technologies.
The abstraction layer supports dynamic interface selection for transmission of packets
arriving from any interface (upper protocol layers or underlying network technologies).
End-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) is supported. Also specified are procedures, protocols
and guidelines to provide a simplified user experience to add devices to the network, to set
up encryption keys, to extend the network coverage, and to provide network management
features to address issues related to neighbor discovery, topology discovery, path selection,
QoS negotiation, and network control and management.”
P has a unique project scope, but also has some dependencies with standards developed in other groups
and organizations. Therefore we propose to coordinate our actions with yours.
We would like to establish a liaison with you and request that you accept David Hunter of HD-PLC as the
person to serve in that role.
We look forward to hearing back from you and to working with you in the future.

Abstract: IEEE Std , IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Overview and Architecture, provides an overview to the family of IEEE 802 standards. It describes the relationship of the IEEE 802 standards to the Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model [ISO/IEC :1994] and explains the relationship of these standards to the higher layer protocols; it provides a standard for the structure of LAN MAC addresses; it provides a standard for identification of public, private, prototype, and standard protocols; and it defines an Object Identifier hierarchy used within IEEE 802 for uniform allocation of Object Identifiers used in IEEE 802 standards

41. P1900.7 – new PAR proposal January 2011 Friday – Agenda item 6.1
5.1 Approximate number of people expected to be actively involved in the development of this project: 70
5.2 Scope: This standard specifies a radio interface including medium access control (MAC) sublayer and physical (PHY) layer of white space dynamic spectrum access radio systems supporting fixed, nomadic, and mobile operation in frequency bands, such as TV bands, public safety bands, and wireless medical telemetry bands, subject to compliance to national and international radio regulations in these frequency bands.
5.3 Is the completion of this standard dependent upon the completion of another standard: No
5.4 Purpose: This standard enables the development of cost-effective, multi-vendor white space dynamic spectrum access radio systems capable of interoperable operation in white space frequency bands. This standard facilitates a variety of applications, including the ones capable to support high mobility, both low-power and high-power, short-, medium, and long-range, and a variety of network topologies.
5.5 Need for the Project: White space dynamic spectrum access radio systems supporting fixed, nomadic, and mobile operation are expected to have broad international market potential. This standard will enable various applications of such radio systems by defining radio interface for white space frequency bands.
More information regarding this project is provided in Section 8.1.
5.6 Stakeholders for the Standard: Stakeholders include wireless devices end users, regulators, perators, corporate users, and manufacturers.

PAR
This standard defines the PHY and MAC specifications optimized for personal space communications, providing dynamic scalability of link rates from 100 kbps to 50 Mbps in the globally available unlicensed bands including 2.4 GHz and 60 GHz bands, principally operating in short range. It supports features including group communication, high precision ranging, QoS (reliability and latency), low power consumption, fast association and synchronization, enhanced security, handover for devices, and coverage extension. (More information regarding this project is provided in Section 8.1.)
