4. January 2012
WG Approved Scope
This amendment specifies a physical layer (PHY) for IEEE , and medium access control (MAC) changes needed to support this PHY, for use in equipment intended to meet the United States (US) Positive Train Control regulatory requirements and similar regulatory requirements in other parts of the world.
Enables operation in licensed or license-free radio frequency bands below 6 GHz
Accommodates transmit power levels greater than the 1 W typical of Part 15 devices
Meets performance requirements at speeds up to 600 km/h
Supports radio ranges on the order of 70 km
Allows operation in contiguous or non-contiguous channel bandwidths as narrow as 5 kHz
Supports data rates up to 1 Mbps with flexible and robust quality of service
Provides modulation methods and spectral characteristics consistent with local regulatory requirements
Accommodates rapidly changing network membership.

5. January 2012
WG Approved Purpose
To add new operating frequency bands and address mobility requirements for IEEE wireless networks intended for information exchange, and command and control applications
May be used to establish an open standard for the wireless link for locomotive-wayside, locomotive-network infrastructure, and network infrastructure-wayside communications on rail signal and control systems
