D0 Comment S10-644
Comment : When amending communication standards one of the issues often encountered is the lack of unassigned fields for future use.
Resolution: Insert at least two unassigned bits in thePHY header in Figure 108. Suggested position: starting at position 15

5. Cont’d Advantages Replication of important data in both the headers
Sub-Header1
(15 bits)
CRC
(4 bits)
BCH parity
Bits (12 bits)
Sub-Header2
(15 bits)
CRC
(4 bit CRC)
BCH parity
Bits(12 bits)
PHY Header for UWB BAN
Advantages
Replication of important data in both the headers
Less important data in one of the headers
Reliability of data important for data decoding improves with square law
