  3. The Next Step for Enhancing the MAC • To find the next step for developing the MAC enhancement idea, the related things are put in order from the integrated view of problem solving • Specify the requirements, analyze the constraints, discuss the criteria to be used in evaluating alternative solutions • Depending on the criteria, the possible solutions can be varied • Grouping of the problems is suggested ETRI

  4. Requirements: IEEE 802.15.4 vs 15.4e • Scope of IEEE 802.15.4 • low-data-rate wireless connectivity with fixed, portable, and moving devices • with no battery or very limited battery consumption requirements • typically operating in the personal operating space (POS) of 10 m. • Scope of IEEE 802.15.4e • The intent of this amendment is to enhance and add functionality to the 802.15.4-2006 MAC to • a) better support the industrial markets and • b) permit compatibility with modifications being proposed within the Chinese WPAN ETRI

  5. Requirements: IEEE 802.15.4 vs 15.4e IEEE 802.15.4e • Improve performance in accessing media and networking • latency, loss rate, fast recovery, power saving • Support multiple grades of services • latency jitter, loss rate, security level on data transmission • New features • direct RFD communication, … • Fine granularity of thethroughput • Deterministic latency • Bounded latency IEEE 802.15.4 • LR-WPAN is • a simple, • low-cost communication network • with limited power and • relaxed throughput requirements • The main objectives of an LR-WPAN are • ease of installation, • reliable data transfer, • short-range operation, • extremely low cost, and • a reasonable battery life, • while maintaining a simple and flexible protocol. ETRI

  6. Constraints: IEEE 802.15.4 vs 15.4e IEEE 802.15.4 • low-cost • reasonable battery life • simple and flexible protocol IEEE 802.15.4e • low-cost • reasonable battery life • simple and flexible protocol • backward compatible • coexistence • interoperable ETRI

  9. Alternative Solutions (1) • Enhancing current functions • Channel access • Unslotted CSMA with beacon • Slotted CSMA with fixed slot size • GTS with fixed slot size, dynamic CFP • Control channel • Unslotted/Slotted CSMA/CA • controlled reservation with the probability • GTS • upstream control channel • Minimization of idle listening period • Avoidance of the collision • Fine granularity of throughput • Bounded latency • Introducing new concepts • Channel access • TDMA • Channel hopping • Integrated slot based access • Control channel • out-of-band signaling channel • link connection protocol • Avoidance of the collision • Fine granularity of throughput • Deterministic latency • Secure transmission • Robust medium access ETRI
