3. Peter Haubrich SMAG 21 September 2000 Requirements for the Wireless Home Network  Support for QoS of real time streaming of A/V content  Net bitrate over 30 Mbits/s (Digital Video Camcorder)  Ad Hoc Networking (Direct Mode)  Self configurable (no network or frequency planning)  Security and Privacy  Connection to wired 1394 devices and clusters (bridge)  Plug and Play  Low Power for Mobile Terminals  Interoperability of devices from different manufacturers  Enough spectrum for highly populated urban areas

4. Peter Haubrich SMAG 21 September 2000 Scenario’s for the Wireless Home Network –Connection of wired clusters (e.g. between different rooms) –Connection of wireless stand-alone devices to the network (e.g. view a camcorder movie on the TV) –Categories : Entertainment (audio, video, games, etc.) Control (A/V devices, home automation, etc.) Information (EPG, internet, home-database, etc.) Transactions (home shopping, home banking, etc.) Communication (E-mails, videoconferencing, chat, etc.)
