3. Meeting Goals • PAR and 5C • Finalization of draft PAR and 5C • Presentation of these documents at the Midweek 802.15 Plenary • Approval of the documents at the Thursday evening closing plenary • Presentation of responses to CfA • Revision and reissuance of the CfA • Discussion of Technical Guidance / Technical Requirements Document • Future Schedule Slide 3 Jon Adams, Lilee Systems

4. 802.15 WG Approved Scope • This amendment specifies a physical layer (PHY) for IEEE 802.15.4, 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. Jon Adams, Lilee Systems

5. 802.15 WG Approved Purpose • To add new operating frequency bands and address mobility requirements for IEEE 802.15.4 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 Jon Adams, Lilee Systems

6. Motion to Approve PAR and 5C • Request that the PAR and Five Criteria contained in documents 15-11-0821-08 and 15-11-0876-06 respectively, be approved by the IEEE 802.15 WG and that the EC be requested to forward the PAR to NesCom. • Moved:  Jon Adams (Lilee Systems) • Second: Michael McInnis (The Boeing Company) • Vote:Yes 52 No 00 Abstain 01 Jon Adams, Lilee Systems
