12. doc.: IEEE 802.15-04/328r0 Submission July 04 M. Lee, C. Zhu / SamsungSlide 12 Application #2 : High Rate Data/Media Mesh Network For high rate data applications, mesh networks can be used to provide –Higher throughput (via multipaths); –Extended communication range; –Multi-tier networks combining high/low rate devices; –Frequency/time reuse; –Reliability/Robustness.

13. doc.: IEEE 802.15-04/328r0 Submission July 04 M. Lee, C. Zhu / SamsungSlide 13 Usage Scenarios (1/2) Video and audio streams go through different paths and integrated into a single AV session at the destination; The I, B and P frames of an MPEG video stream go through different paths and integrated into a single MPEG video at the destination; The devices can determine to accept one or more streams depending on their capability.

14. doc.: IEEE 802.15-04/328r0 Submission July 04 M. Lee, C. Zhu / SamsungSlide 14 Usage Scenarios (2/2) Multiple paths between the source and the destination, either being uses simultaneously or in a main- path/backup-path manner, provides low latency and robustness; Replacement of IEEE 1394 and USB 2.0.
