P802.15 High Rate Study Group –Selection Criteria for CFA/CFP

The following document summarizes the discussion onselection criteria for the proposed High Rate activities within the WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) space. These criteria will be used (in conjunction with the PAR and 5 criteria documents) to communicate the scope and intention of this class of devices to potential users and manufacturers. It will also be used to evaluate the PHY, Protocol and Systems proposals submitted in response to the WPAN High Rate Call for Applications and Call for Proposals (CFA and CFP).

Due to the rapid nature rate with which this technology changes, and the fact that 802.11 WPAN study group, HomeRF and other consortia have already done some work in this area, the High Rate WPAN CFA a nd CFP are being done in parallel this group is trying to satisfy within a standards making body, the demand for a “High-Rate” standard to complement the activity of the “nominal” rate of TG1 PAN (Bluetooth). Therefore, this group is doing something that is untraditional in a standards making group – asking for both the CFA (Call For Applications) and CFP (Call For Proposals) of the technologies which manufacturers believe that they can prove and justify fit the definition of the High Rate WPAN definition.

The following document is broken-up into two sections: what the group, after brainstorming, believe would be the market requirements of a “highHigh-rateRate” device, and secondly, the technical criteriacriteria that which would be necessary to fulfill thosee requirements.

Who will use these devices?

What are the devices?

This class includes both portable and non-portable devices. They inlcude small, battery powered consumer devices such as:Compact form factor and low power consumption are important requirements for portable devices.

When is the device needed?

Now. There is an immediate need for low cost, low powered, short range, high-rate wireless solutions to address the requirements of consumer oriented applications. Technical feasibility and tWithin the next year consumer demands for content would “require” a device of this nature, therefore, the reason to standardize the technology.ime to market will be important factors in the selection of a proposal.

Where will this be used?

Applications include:

• Auto scenarios

• Schools

• Home

• Entertainment system

• Enhanced multimedia pad

• Diagnostic utilities

• Projection systems

• Business

• Video conferencing

• Pump-data-pump-gas

• Built-in Cellphone/PDA

|Built-in Cellphone/PDA | | |

Why is this device important?

Advancements in the personal space change the behavior patterns of people and how they deal with their environment. For example, the GPS as a personal consumer device has already saved lives because of the features it was designed with.

A device that bridges high rate needs and the lower rate Bluetooth market is also important for both market segements. Rates in the rage of 20 to 40 Mbps are probably not achievable with the current BT technology.

The High Rate Study Group (HRSG) is currently defining the process of technology selection. Therefore, the above list is not considered complete or exhaustive, but a set of guidelines a manufacturer needs to consider when developing a technology. It is the desire of the HRSG to close the public selection process by the close of the July 2000 interim meeting, therefore, do not hesitate to submit Proposals/Applications.

Add Criteria you feel is important and explain why, or submit a supporting CFA. In the final evaluation, new criteria will be evaluated for all of the submitted proposals.
