doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0253 -00 TG 4 e 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 Submission Slide 20 20 ,

March 2009 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0253 -00 Purpose of Proposed Standard This functionality facilitates Industrial applications (such as addressed by HART 7 and the ISA 100 proposed standards), and those enhancements defined by the proposed Chinese WPAN standard that aren't included in TG 4 c. This amendment addresses coexistence with wireless protocols such as 802. 11, 802. 15. 3, and 802. 15. 4. Submission Slide 21 21 Robert F. Heile, Zig. Bee Alliance

March 2009 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0253 -00 TG 4 g-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 700 MHz to 1 GHz, 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 Submission Slide 36 36 Robert F. Heile, Zig. Bee Alliance

March 2009 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0253 -00 TG 4 g-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).

March 2009 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0253 -00 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 10 Mbps, 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 (Qo. S), low power, data rate and noninterference required to broadly address the breadth of body area network applications. Submission Slide 46 46 Robert F. Heile, Zig. Bee Alliance

March 2009 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0253 -00 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, p. H 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. Submission Slide 47 47 Robert F. Heile, Zig. Bee Alliance
