Pat Kinney, Chair
Submission Bob Heile, ZigBee Alliance

July 2010 doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0691-00
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
Submission Slide 11 Bob Heile, ZigBee Alliance

July 2010 doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0691-00
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.

Paragraph from 802.15.4f Project Authorization
Request (PAR) document.
5.4 Purpose of Proposed Standard:
To provide a standard for low cost, ultra low energy consumption, flexible and highly reliable communication means and air interface protocol for Active RFID and sensor applications. The air interface should be able to support a wide range of needs for which active RFID systems can be useful and enable improved performance and flexibility for future mass deployments of active RFID systems around the world.

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
Submission Bob Heile, ZigBee Alliance

July 2010 doc.: IEEE 802.15-10-0691-00
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).
