Submission

– 4 comments - cross-references are wrong; Response is reject,Reference is either to base or other amendments.

– 12 comments - don't deviate from 4g; Response is reject,PAR does not require "full backwards compatibility with 4g.

– 1 comment - add 2-FSK mode same as 4g; Response is reject,PAR does not require it.

– 2 comments - remove bands overlapping with 4g; Response is reject,The use of the defined bands facilitates an uninterrupted link to be maintained.

– 2 comments - remove parity bit; Response is reject,Inclusion of parity check allows for error detection in some cases.

– 1 comment - change 16-bit CRC to 8-bit CRC; Response is reject,One OFDM symbol consists of 50 bits and there are enough bits available to allow 16 bit CRC.

– 2 comments - nominal BW is wrong; Response is reject,Data is carried at DC subcarrier in NB-OFDM, resulting in 380.95kHz.


Summary of 36 Rejected“Must Be Satisfied” Comments from No Voters

doc.: IEEE 802.15-13-0477-00

Submission

– 3 comments - remove option of 24-bit SFD; Response is reject,The benefits of a 24 bit SFD are described in document 15-12-0030-00.

– 3 comments - don't need 9-bit scramble seed; Response is reject,One OFDM symbol consists of 50 bits and there are enough bits available to allow 9 bit scrambling seed.

– 2 comments - don't need to impose and remove 51-byte 00 Hex; Response is reject,Clarified by adding sentence: "51-byte zeros shall be prepended to each 188 byte data.“

– 2 comments - last STF "s" should be negated; Response is reject,We don’t need to negate the last "s" symbols in the STF repetition because we can use the LTF detection algorithm using frequency-domain correlation characteristic of LTF.

– 2 comments - normalize STF; Response is reject,We don’t need to normalize the STF accordingly to the DATA because the STF power boosting factor adjusts the power of the STF.

Scope of CMB Task Group

• Draft an amendment of 802.15.4 for MBAN

• This amendment defines a physical layer for IEEE Std. 802.15.4 utilizing the approved 174-216 MHz, 407-425 MHz and 608-630 MHz medical bands in China. This amendment defines modifications to the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer needed to support this new physical layer.

CMB Background

• Wireless connectivity is already used for healthcare applications both within hospitals and in residential situations. This provides flexibility to clinicians and healthcare providers and mobility and convenience for the patients. Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPAN) are already widely being used for this. Applications include electrocardiography and the monitoring of pulse oximetry, blood pressure and glucose levels as well as other patient vital signs like respiration, heart rate and temperature. In China as in the US, LR-WPAN is part of the growing Internet of Things Industries; it has been applied in hospital areas for medical and related info communications.

• IEEE Std. 802.15.4 Chinese medical devices will make use of the existing high volume applications in the Chinese medical bands.

Call for Intent

• IEEE 802.15.4q TG is issuing a call for intent to propose. The scope of proposals is strictly limited to those described in the Project Authorization Request (PAR) document 15-12-0386-06-004q-ulp-par.pdf (https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15/dcn/12/15-12-0386-06-004q-ulp-par.pdf). The intention notice is non-binding and is for planning purposes. If you are planning to propose, you are asked to submit a notification of intent by 15 September 2013 to TG 4q chair, Dr. Shahriar Emami ([email protected]) and TG4q reflector. An official call for proposals will be issued in September.

• Strawpoll on forming a SG 100GbW with the following task:

The TeraHertz Interest Group (IG THz) wishes to start a study group with the scope of determining the validity of a standard on “100GbW (100 Gbit/s over beam switchable wireless point-to-point links)”. Potential applications of interest include wireless data centers, wireless intra-device communication, and wireless backhauling. The wave length of interest for the PHY will be millimeter-wave or shorter. The recommendation of the study group will be to amend the standard802.15.3.

Result: 16 yes / 0 no / 0 abstain

SC Maintenance AccomplishmentsETSI TC ERM change requests

1) Frame ID Extension

SC-M agreed to recommend defining the last reserved Frame ID value (0b111) to indicate an Extended Frame ID format consisting of 5 additional bits (total 8-bit Frame ID). IEEE will manage the assignment of the extended Frame ID space to IEEE task groups or SDOs. The value 0b111 111 was agreed to be assigned to TIA to ratify the TR51 Frame ID, giving TIA effectively 4 Frame IDs.

The frame format associated with extended Frame ID values is to be defined with each Frame ID as usual.

doc.: IEEE 802.15-13-0477-00

Submission

<July 2013>



2) ID Management

SC-M agreed to recommend that IEEE should manage the allocation of various resource IDs including IE IDs. The re-definition of 'unmanaged' ID ranges to 'Reserved' will be coordinated with vendors who have already used 'unmanaged' range values in their products.

Requests for resource values by external SDOs should be via the MOU channel between IEEE and the external SDO. IEEE will review the request and may suggest alternate solutions instead of assigning resource identifiers where appropriate. The timescale for response to a request should cover 2 IEEE meetings (i.e. of the order 2 months).

A liaison response to ETSI should be generated to report on progress on discussions of resource allocation management.

doc.: IEEE 802.15-13-0477-00

Submission

<July 2013>



3) IE Descriptor Format

SC-M agreed to recommend that the last version number value (0b11) for 15.4-2011 frame types (Beacon, Data, ACK, MAC Command) should be used to indicate that IEs use TLV descriptor format. Version 0b10 frames (current 15.4e values) use LTV descriptor format.

Similarly, Version 0b01 Multipurpose frames use TLV descriptor format. Existing 0b00 Version Multipurpose frames use LTV descriptor format.

Any future changes to 15.4-2011 frames can be accommodated by the large available extended frame ID space.

A final note was also agreed that the one remaining reserved bit in 15.4-2011 frames should be assigned if possible when the new version is defined - otherwise it will not be possible to use the bit as there is no further version number space
