  3. Proposal • The purpose of this project is to provide highspeed PHY and MAC enhancement to 802.15 Task Group 1 for applications which involve Imaging, Multimedia, and networks with more than 8 users. • Bi - Modal PHY • Compatible with 802.15 Task Group 1 • 20 Mbps Multimedia Capable • MAC • Isochronous • Enhancements to 802.15 Task Group 1 • Not to impede Task Group 1 progress James D. Allen, Kodak

  4. Broad Market Potential • Today, low bandwidth wireless systems do not satisfy the needs for consumer priced, embedded, high data rate systems. • Applications include: • Digital (Still) Imaging • Multimedia (Video, Voice over IP) • Many-user systems • Support currently includes Motorola, Eastman Kodak, Cisco Systems. James D. Allen, Kodak

  5. Compatibility • Bi-Modal • The proposal will be backward compatible to the Task Group 1 1Mbps mode using the dual mode PHY layer and MAC. • Is intended to conform to the 802 standards guidelines imposed on 802.15. • Study Group will work with Coexistence Task Group. James D. Allen, Kodak

  6. Distinct Identity • 20 Mbps High Speed Personal Area Network is not currently recognized as a Standards study group. • 802.11b addresses the speed, but not the requirements of an embeddable consumer oriented WPAN. • 802.15.1 addresses the requirements of an embeddable consumer oriented WPAN, but not the speed. James D. Allen, Kodak

  7. Technical Feasibility • PHY - A 20 Mbps prototype is operational. • ASIC architecture has passed internal feasibility review • Prototype performance testing has started • MAC - Several enhancements to 802.15 TG1 are being modeled and simulated at the Protocol and Network levels. • Technology is scaleable to higher data rates and 5.8 GHz. James D. Allen, Kodak

  8. Economical Feasibility • Bill of Materials expected to be consistent with current Task Group 1 estimates. • Current ASIC estimates and discrete bill of materials provide validation. James D. Allen, Kodak

  9. Questions & Answers James D. Allen, Kodak

  10. Motion to the Working Group • Move to form a Study Group with the charter of drafting a PAR and 5 Criteria for a High Rate WPAN which will have a fall back mode fully compliant with the proposed Task Group 1 draft standard. James D. Allen, Kodak

  11. Nominations • Chair • Vice Chair • Secretary • Technical Editor James D. Allen, Kodak
