  5. Working Group 15: Wireless Personal Area Networks Synopsis: 802.15 focuses on the development of consensus standards for Personal Area Networks or short distance wireless networks. These WPANs address wireless networking of portable and mobile computing devices such as PCs, PDAs, peripherals, cell phones and consumer electronics. The goal is to publish standards, recommended practices, or guides that have broad market applicability and deal effectively with the issues of coexistence and interoperability with other wired and wireless networking solutions. 802.15 is part of the 802 Local and Metropolitan Area Network Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society. The IEEE-SA is an international membership organization serving today's industries with a complete portfolio of standards programs. The latest status of 802.15 and other IEEE802 activities is available at http://standards.ieee.org/802news/. Glyn Roberts, STMicroelectronics, Inc

  8. Task Group Timelines • TG1 published IEEE Std 802.15.1™-2002 14 Jun, 2002. • TG2, TG3, and TG4 are forecasting publication in 2003. • TG3a’s PAR forecasts a RevCom submittal date of 9 Jan, 2004 and publication in mid-2004. Glyn Roberts, STMicroelectronics, Inc

  9. Task Group 1: WPAN/Bluetooth™ Synopsis: Bluetooth is an industry specification for short-range RF-based connectivity for portable personal devices. The WPAN/Bluetooth™ Task Group (TG1) has reviewed and provided a standard adaptation of the Bluetooth Specification v1.1 Foundation MAC and PHY (L2CAP, LMP, Baseband, and radio). Also specified are: a clause on SAPs which includes a LLC/MAC interface for the ISO/IEC 8802-2 LLC; a normative annex which provides a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma; and a informative annex high level behavioral ITU-T Z.100 Specification and Description Language (SDL) model for an integrated Bluetooth MAC Sublayer. Current Status (as of 10 Jan., 2003): The IEEE Std 802.15.1™-2002 was published 14Jun02 and was made freely available via Get IEEE 802™ on 14Dec02. The Task Group is in hibernation. More info is available at http://ieee802.org/15/pub/TG1.html.. Glyn Roberts, STMicroelectronics, Inc

  10. Task Group 2: Coexistence Synopsis: The Coexistence Task Group (TG2) is developing Recommended Practices to facilitate coexistence of Wireless Personal Area Networks (802.15) and Wireless Local Area Networks (802.11). The group is developing a Coexistence Model to quantify the mutual interference of a WLAN and a WPAN. They are also developing a set of Coexistence Mechanisms to facilitate coexistence of WLAN and WPAN devices. Current Status (as of 10 Jan, 2003): A recirculation of Letter Ballots for the Coexistence Standard was recently completed. This provided 802.11 and 802.15 an opportunity to review Draft 7. The project was granted conditional approval to proceed to Sponsor Ballot. TG2 is targeting to complete the standard in 2003. More info is available at http://ieee802.org/15/pub/TG2.html. Glyn Roberts, STMicroelectronics, Inc

  11. Task Group 3: WPAN High Rate Synopsis: The WPAN High Rate Task Group (TG3) for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs™) is chartered to draft and publish a new standard for high-rate (20Mbps or greater) WPANs. Besides a high data rate, the new standard will provide for low power, low cost solutions addressing the needs of portable consumer digital imaging and multimedia applications. Current Status (as of Jan. 10, 2003): An initial Sponsor Ballot was returned in Jan. 2003 with 76% approval. Final comment resolutions will take place before submission to RevCom anticipated for mid 2003. More info is available at http://ieee802.org/15/pub/TG3.html. Glyn Roberts, STMicroelectronics, Inc

  12. Task Group 3a: WPAN Alternate Higher Rate Synopsis: The WPAN Higher Rate Alternate PHY Task Group (TG3a) is chartered to draft and publish a new standard which will provide a higher speed (110 Mbps or greater) PHY amendment to the draft P802.15.3 standard. This will address streaming video and other multimedia applications. The new PHY will use the P802.15.3 MAC with limited modification. Current Status (as of 10 Jan., 2003): The Study Group 3a charter expired in Nov. 2002 after successfully completing its mission to investigate the viability of an Alt. PHY project. A PAR and 5 Criteria were approved by NesCom. This newly formed Task Group will have their first meeting in Jan. 2003. The TG3a Call For Proposals (CFP) was released on 3Dec02 and anticipates receiving proposals for technical solutions to the higher rate PHY requirements during the Mar03 Plenary Meeting. More info is available at http://ieee802.org/15/pub/SG3a.html. And http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/15/arc/802-wpanlist/msg00735.html Glyn Roberts, STMicroelectronics, Inc

  13. Task Group 4: WPAN Low Rate Synopsis: The WPAN Low Rate Task Group (TG4) is chartered to investigate a low data rate solution with multi-month to multi-year battery life and very low complexity. This standard specifies two physical layers: an 868 MHz/915 MHz direct sequence spread spectrum PHY and a 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum PHY. The 2.4 GHz PHY supports an over air data rate of 250 kb/s and the 868 MHz/915 MHz PHY supports over the air data rates of 20 kb/s and 40 kb/s. The physical layer chosen depends on local regulations and user preference. Potential applications are sensors, interactive toys, smart badges, remote controls, and home automation. Current Status (as of Jan 10, 2003): An initial Sponsor Ballot was returned in Nov. 2002 with 97% approval. The TG is currently working to resolve all comments and target March 03 for moving into RevCom approval. More info is available at http://ieee802.org/15/pub/TG4.html.
