TG4e- 15.4 MAC Enhancements

Chair: Seong-Soon Joo

November 2011


doc.: IEEE 802.15-11-0852-00

Submission

TG4e PAR Scope of Proposed Standard

The intention 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.

Specifically, the MAC enhancements are limited to:•TDMA: to provide a) determinism, b) enhanced utilization of bandwidth•Channel Hopping: to provide additional robustness in high interfering environments and enhance coexistence with other wireless networks•GTS: to increase its flexibility such as a) supporting peer to peer, b) the length of the slot, and c) number of slots•CSMA: to improve throughput and reduce energy consumption•Security: to add support for additional options such as asymmetrical keys•Low latency: to reduce end to end delivery time such as needed for control applications

November 2011


doc.: IEEE 802.15-11-0852-00

Submission

TG4e-PARPurpose of Proposed Standard

This functionality facilitates Industrial applications (such as addressed by HART 7 and the ISA100 proposed standards), and those enhancements defined by the proposed Chinese WPAN standard that aren't included in TG4c. This amendment addresses coexistence with wireless protocols such as 802.11, 802.15.1, 802.15.3, and 802.15.4.

doc.: IEEE 802.15-11-0852-00

Submission

Slide 38Slide 38

TG4g-SUN PAR Scope

This Standard defines an amendment to IEEE 802.15.4. It addresses principally outdoor Low Data Rate Wireless Smart Metering Utility Network requirements. It defines an alternate PHY and only those MAC modifications needed to support its implementation.

Specifically, the amendment supports all of the following: • Operation in any of the regionally available license exempt frequency bands, such as 700MHz to

1GHz, and the 2.4 GHz band. • Data rate of at least 40 kbits per second but not more than 1000 kbits per second • Achieve the optimal energy efficient link margin given the environmental conditions encountered

in Smart Metering deployments.• Principally outdoor communications • PHY frame sizes up to a minimum of 1500 octets • Simultaneous operation for at least 3 co-located orthogonal networks • Connectivity to at least one thousand direct neighbors characteristic of dense urban deployment • Provides mechanisms that enable coexistence with other systems in the same band(s) including

IEEE 802.11, 802.15 and 802.16 systems

TG4g-SUN PAR Purpose

To provide a global standard that facilitates very large scale process control applications such as the utility smart-grid network. This amendment supports large, geographically diverse networks with minimal infrastructure. Smart Metering Utility Networks can potentially contain millions of fixed endpoints. The communication range, robustness, and coexistence characteristics required for this class of application have not been met with existing 802 standards (See explanatory notes in Section 8.1 Doc#15-08-705).

Commission to use the 2.36 to 2.4 GHz band for Medical BAN– Band to be used only for medical applications*

– This band is primarily allocated in various parts to aeronautical mobile telemetry and telecommand (AMT), radio astronomy and amateur

• MBAN will use band on a secondary basis and must defer to primary users

• FCC NPRM on MBAN released in June 2009

• This closed to responses from interested parties in October 2009

* Proposed eligibility & permissible communications: Licenses by rule operations by authorized health care professionals and by any other person, if such use is prescribed by a health care professional. Limited to transmission of data (no voice) used for monitoring, diagnosing or treating patients

CLOSING REPORT

TG4k Low Energy Critical Infratructure Monitoring (LECIM)

PHY Amendment to 15.4

TG4k PAR Scope of Proposed Standard This standard is an amendment to IEEE 802.15.4. It addresses principally those applications such as critical infrastructure monitoring. It defines an alternate PHY and only those MAC modifications needed to support its implementation. The amendment supports:•Operation in any of the regionally available licensed, license exempt, and special purpose frequency bands.•Simultaneous operation for at least 8 co-located orthogonal networks•Application data rate of less than 40 kbits per second•Propagation path loss of at least 120 dB•> 1000 endpoints per mains powered infrastructure•Asymmetric application data flow•Extreme difference in capabilities and performance between endpoint devices and coordinating devices (collectors)

– Coordinator may support all standardized modulations (MCS) and data rates– Coordinator may be required to support antenna diversity or antenna beam steering– End point must be able to conserve energy

•Reliable operation in dramatically changing environments (no control over environment). This amendment also provides mechanisms that enable coexistence with other systems in the same band(s) including IEEE 802.11, 802.15, and 802.16 systems

doc.: IEEE 802.15-11-0852-00

Submission

November 2011


Purpose of Proposed StandardThe purpose of this amendment is to facilitate point to multi-thousands of points communications for critical infrastructure monitoring devices. The amendment addresses the application’s user needs of minimal network infrastructure, and enables the collection of scheduled and event data from a large number of non-mains powered end points that are widely dispersed, or are in challenging propagation environments. To facilitate low energy operation necessary for multi-year battery life, the amendment minimizes network maintenance traffic and device wake durations. In addition, the amendment addresses the changing propagation and interference environments.

Purpose of Proposed Standard (PAR 07-0575)

The purpose of the proposed standard it to provide an international standard for a short range (ie about human body range), low power and highly reliable wireless communication for use in close proximity to, or inside, a human body. Data rates, typically up to 10Mbps, will be offered to satisfy an evolutionary set of entertainment and healthcare services. Current PANs do not meet the medical (proximity to human tissue) and relevant communication regulations for some application environments. They also do not support the combination of reliability (QoS), low power, data rate and noninterference required to broadly address the breadth of body area network applications.

Need for the Project (PAR 07-0575)

There is a need for a standard optimized for ultra low power devices and operation on, in or around the human body to serve a variety of applications including medical and personal entertainment.

Examples of the applications served by the proposed standard are: EEG, ECG, EMG, vital signals monitoring (temperature (wearable thermometer), respiratory, wearable heart rate monitor, wearable pulse oximeter, wearable blood pressure monitor, oxygen, pH value , wearable glucose sensor, implanted glucose sensor, cardiac arrhythmia), wireless capsule endoscope (gastrointestinal), wireless capsule for drug delivery, deep brain stimulator, cortical stimulator (visual neuro-stimulator, audio neuro stimulator, Parkinson’s disease, etc…), remote control of medical devices such as pacemaker, actuators, insulin pump, hearing aid (wearable and implanted), retina implants, disability assistance, such as muscle tension sensing and stimulation, wearable weighing scale, fall detection, aiding sport training.

This will include body-centric solutions for future wearable computers. In a similar vein, the same technology can provide effective solutions for personal entertainment as well.The existence of a body area network standard will provide opportunities to expand these product features, better healthcare and well being for the users. It will therefore result in economic opportunity for technology component suppliers and equipment manufacturers.

per locomotive• Asymmetric application data flow• Extreme difference in capabilities and performance between wayside,

network access points, and locomotives– Locomotive and Network Access Points may support all standardized modulations

(MCS) and data rates– May be requirements to support antenna diversity or antenna beam steering– Wayside equipment may be required to conserve energy

• Reliable operation in dramatically changing environments (no control over environment)

• This amendment also provides mechanisms that enable coexistence with other systems in the same band(s) including IEEE 802.11, 802.15, and 802.16 systems, assuming those networks exist in set of bands

• Because of its nature, the standard developed here may be broadly applicable to other monitoring and control Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) functions.

Interpretation RequestThe following interpretation request concerns IEEE 802.15.4-2006, subclauses 6.8.2.5 and 6.8.3.2:

While the BPSK PHY and the ASK PHY of the 868 MHz specifications use raised-cosine and root-raised-cosine pulse shape filtering to represent the baseband chips, the O-QPSK PHY uses half-sine pulse shaping for baseband-chip representation (see 6.8.2.5). Furthermore, subclause 6.8.3.2 specifies that, using the 868 MHz band, "the signal shall be filtered" with a raised-cosine filter. Does this mean that the baseband chips are first half-sine filtered and then additionally raised-cosine filtered? Or is the raised-cosine filtering optional?

Interpretation Request Resolution

• Does this mean that the baseband chips are first half-sine filtered and then additionally raised-cosine filtered? – “Yes”. This filtering is for pulse shaping purposes.

• Or is the raised-cosine filtering optional?– “No, this is mandatory”. This filtering is for

spectral emissions purposes.

Challenges on Chinese Wireless Medical Monitoring networking Applications by

Liang Li (15-11-766-01)• Question: does the 402-425 MHz band have other

uses that could conflict with this application? – Reply: Yes, coexistence would need to be

analyzed• Do the other bands have uses that could conflict with

this application? Yes• Straw poll of attendees supporting the formation of an

MBAN Chinese Study Group yielded a result of 30/0/10.
