11. Bluetooth/IEEE Proposed Plan
July 1999
Bluetooth/IEEE Proposed Plan
working group will make a request (~Jun 1999) for technologies that meet usage models established by IEEE
anticipates these usage models to be similar to what Bluetooth has overviewed during IEEE Liaisons
would like Bluetooth SIG to submit (~Jul 1999) the finalized specifications (Vol. 1 & 2) to the group for consideration [MS Word '97]
Final specification will be voted on by the group, no guarantees that the specification will move forward, however there is a desire to not fragment the market, achieve some level of coexistence, and possibly a 2.4GHz spectrum etiquette.

12. Bluetooth/IEEE Proposed Timeline
July 1999
Bluetooth/IEEE Proposed Timeline
Jul Initial Discussion on Proposal submissions
Note 1: Specification from Bluetooth introduced into the committee. The committee should do a review of this specification and clarify, understand what problems it will create with other 802 standards, etc. ARE THERE OTHER PROPOSALS?
Note 2: If the submission date slips to Aug 1999 or Sep 1999 there is a potential to slip the end date.
Jul IEEE initial vote of support to draft based on Bluetooth specification
Sep The draft based on the current Bluetooth specification to the time line
Nov Initial draft ready for WG ballot.
Jan First Ballot complete, second ballot kicked off.
Mar Draft ready for IEEE sponsor ballot.

“Additionally the Bluetooth SIG is currently in discussions with ETSI to develop a world-wide standard based on Bluetooth that covers the entire Bluetooth capabilities stack. If these discussions go forward, then the Bluetooth SIG would like ETSI and IEEE coordinates their efforts so that both standards interoperate.” JimK 1Jul99
