COEXISTENCE • Multiple wireless devices are said to “coexist” if they can be collocated without significantly impacting the performance of any of these devices [IEEE 802.15-99/088r2]. • The ability of one system to perform a task in a given (shared) environment where other systems may or may not be using the same set of rules. Richard Kennedy, Compaq Computer Corporation
INTEROPERABILITY • The ability of two systems to perform a given task using a single set of rules Richard Kennedy, Compaq Computer Corporation
Range of CONVERGENCE Objectives • One Global Standard (1) • Based on a combined standard • Based on selecting one of the existing standards • Bringing the three standards closer together; having a degree of interoperability (3) • Being able to coexist (5) • Status quo (99) Richard Kennedy, Compaq Computer Corporation
Degrees of CONVERGENCE Definition • There are a range of convergence options listed below in decreasing desirability. • One Global Standard with complete interoperability(1) • Systems having a degree of interoperability (3) • Systems having a degree of interworking typically involving the use of a translator. • There are two other situations that represent no convergence. • Being able to coexist (5) • Being unable to coexist Richard Kennedy, Compaq Computer Corporation
Examples of CONVERGENCE • Systems adhering to One Global Standard with complete interoperability that can be used anywhere in the world. • Systems that interoperate but were designed to different standards. The user of each equipment type can communicate transparently with the other. • Common: Two standards have common architecture, design, defn • Interoperable: Two+ standards have a way of directly communicating together to perform a task Richard Kennedy, Compaq Computer Corporation
Examples of Standards CONVERGENCE • Common: Two systems have common architecture, design, definition. • Interoperable: Two+ systems have a way of directly communicating together to perform a task. • Interworking: Two+ systems can exchange information thru a translating function and work together to perform a task. • Data transfer: Two+ systems can exchange information thru a translating system to perform their respective tasks. For example HL2 and 11a can communicate via an ethernet backbone. This not considered to be convergence. Richard Kennedy, Compaq Computer Corporation
INTERWORKING • The ability of two systems to perform a task given that each system implements a different set of rules. • The means whereby terminals connected to a telecommunication network may communicate with terminals of another network. [IEC 1992] • To express interactions between networks, between end systems, or between parts thereof, with the aim of providing a functional entity capable of supporting an end-to-end communication. The interactions required to provide a functional entity rely on functions and on the means to select these functions. [ITU-T I.510] Richard Kennedy, Compaq Computer Corporation
