Amendment to IEEE 802.15.4-2006 to include MAC enhancements



November 2008


doc.: IEEE 802.15-08-0754-01

Submission

Pat Kinney, Kinney Consulting LLCSlide 31

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 2008


doc.: IEEE 802.15-08-0754-01

Submission


Purpose 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.

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.


November 2008

Submission

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.

RFID SG Overview• The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) has chartered

the IEEE 802.15 RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Study Group to investigate and develop IEEE 802 'Project Authorization Request' (PAR) and '5 Criteria' documents which define the direction of an IEEE 802 Task Group as it develops a new IEEE 802 wireless standard.

• The PAR, 5C, and Comment Resolution documents identified below were submitted to the IEEE 802 Executive Committee during the November 2008 IEEE 802 Plenary meeting in Dallas, Texas for consideration toward taking the next step for the 802.15 RFID Study Group to become an 802.15.4f Task Group for the purpose of beginning the process of drafting an Active RFID standard.

RFID SG Meeting Achievements

• Received comments from IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.3 Working Groups regarding the RFID Study Group’s PAR and 5C document submittals.

• Utilized our three 2-hour long meeting sessions to draft RFID Study Group responses back to the 802.11 and 802.3 Working Groups.

• Due to the comments received from 802.11 and 802.3 the RFID SG agreed to make additions and clarifications to the 802.15.4f PAR and 5C documents for re-submittal.

• The RFID SG unanimously approved submittal of the modified PAR, 5C, and comment resolution documents to the 802.15 WG for approval.

•The 802.15 WG approved our 802.15.4f PAR, 5C, and Comment Resolution documents during the mid-week 802.15 plenary meeting.

802.15 Actions taken at EC• Study Group Renewals

– 15.4f amendment-active tag RFID- approved – 15.4g amendment-smart metering utility networks-approved – 15.7 visible light communications-approved

• Drafts to RevCom – Conditional approval to forward 802.15.4c-approved – Conditional approval to forward 802.15.5-approved

• PARs to NesCom for action in December 2008– 15.4f amendment-active tag RFID-approved Biggest expressed issue was

whether this fits within the 802 architecture because 15.4 uses 64 bit MAC addresses. In the end this will be addressed as an 802 issue not a 4f issue.

– 15.4g amendment-smart metering utility networks-approved with the addition of an upper limit of 1 Mbps on data rate, calling it Smart Metering Utility Networks instead of WNAN, the elimination of the LOS mentions in Section 8.1, and the commitment to insure we coordinate with some AMR oriented projects in IEEE SA.

– 15.7 visible light communications-approved • 802.15.2 Motion to Ballot a Reaffirmaton- approved
