  3. 09-May-2008 • doc.: IEEE 802. XX 09 May 2008 SUGGESTED ACTION ITEMS for IG NAN GROUP Slide 3 Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks

  4. AREAS FOR DISCUSSION • Scope of NAN versus PAN or LAN • Applications Suitable for NAN Activity • IEEE 802 PAR Criteria (Preliminary Comments) • Suggestions for Follow-on Activities Slide 4 Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks

  5. APPLICATIONS IN NAN AREA Primary Applications • Smart-Grid Networks • Oil Fields and Platforms • Agricultural Synergistic Application areas • Industrial Wireless (WiHART, ISA SP100, etc.) • Home Area Networks (HAN) • Other Applications Compatible with and Complementary to In-Prem Networks Slide 5 Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks

  6. AREAS FOR DISCUSSIONSMART-GRID NETWORKS • Major Utilities expanding their Smart-Grid Initiatives • Wireless Utility Network solutions are being widely tested • As shown in FPL and PG&E presentations, time has come for standardized solutions to enable optimal expansion of this major application area • Technical Requirements have been clearly identified • Recently passed Federal Energy Legislation (H.R.6: Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007) identifies standardization of Smart-Grid Networks via NIST and Standards Bodies a priority Slide 6 Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks

  7. IEEE 802 PAR Criteria (Preliminary Comments) • Broad Market Potential • Compatibility • Distinct Identity (“Uniqueness”) • Technical Feasibility • Economic Feasibility Slide 7 Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks

  8. IEEE 802 PAR CRITERIA-1Broad Market Potential ◊ tens of millions in the domestic market; billions on a global scale ◊ demand for low cost, low complexity, easily deployed, robust, and scalable networks operating in license-exempt or dedicated spectrum, while enabling and coexisting with other wireless systems (802.15.4/Zigbee for example) ◊ smart utility networks is a global market, ready for immediate deployment and expansion ◊ hundreds of field-trials are in progress right now ◊ Multiple Vendors and numerous users ◊ Market ready for orderly evolution Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks

  9. IEEE 802 PAR CRITERIA-2Compatibility ◊ IEEE 802 defines a family of standards ◊ All standards shall be in conformance with IEEE802.1 Architecture, management, and Inter-working ◊ All LLC and MAC standards shall be compatible with ISO 10039, MAC service Definition, at the LLC/MAC boundary ◊ the TBD MAC and PHY specifications for the NAN (Smart Grid) requirements will be compatible with the IEEE 802 family of MAC and PHY standards Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks

  10. IEEE 802 PAR CRITERIA-3Distinct Identity – “Uniqueness” ◊ Substantially different from other IEE 802 standards ◊ May require new PHY and MAC specifications (NAN SG to confirm this finding) ◊ It is possible the NAN MAC can be an enhancement of the 802.15.4 MAC (to be confirmed by NAN SG and also TG 4e) ◊ Uniqueness was clearly identified in earlier presentations (to be further confirmed by the NAN SG) ◊ One unique solution to a problem (not two or more solutions) for the emerging market of utility network applications (clearly distinct from in-prem network applications) ◊ Easy for the document reader to select the relevant specification Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks

  11. IEEE 802 PAR CRITERIA-4Technical Feasibility ◊ Demonstrated System Feasibility ◊ Database on tradeoffs between different solutions ◊ Database on problem areas ◊ Proven technology options, extensive testing ◊ Confidence in reliability and scalability Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks

  12. IEEE 802 PAR CRITERIA-5Economic Feasibility ◊ Reasonable and sound estimates of the size, performance, cost, and power requirements ◊ Installation cost objectives ◊ Availability of proven technology, solutions ◊ Ready for standardization ◊ Proprietary solutions hinder market evolution, widespread interoperability among different applications Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks

  13. Suggestions for Follow-On Activities • The NAN area is indeed a big market space, and worthy of further consideration by the IEEE • National and global energy policies warrant such consideration • The Interest Group (IG) may assess interest and ask the WG to form a Study Group (SG) to carry on follow-on activities • SG’s activities may include examination of all available facts on applications, top level requirements, and technical/economic feasibility, and develop suitable PARs for PHY and MAC (it is possible one or both may be enhancements of the existing 802.15.4 spec) • Maintain as much synergy as possible with other 802.15.4 efforts Jay Ramasastry; James Pace /Silver Spring Networks
