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

TG4e-PAR
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.

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:

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).

MBAN Background
• GE Healthcare petitioned the US Federal Communications
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

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
Submission
Slide 55
Robert F. Heile, ZigBee Alliance

Purpose of Proposed Standard
The 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.

Robert F. Heile, ZigBee Alliance

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.

PTC-IG Goals and Intentions
This standard may be a new IEEE 802.15 standard or an amendment
to IEEE 802.15.4. The intention is to standardize the over-the-air radio
link for the mandated US Positive Train Control law established in
2008:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Enables operation in a variety of radio frequency bands including the USlicensed 216-222MHz spectrum
Supports typical data rates from 9.6 to 200 kbits per second
Support for multiple simultaneous networks
Provides for mobility up to 500km/h (1000km/h closing speeds, train to
train)
Supports radio ranges up to 70km
Shall operate in not-necessarily contiguous channel sizes as small as 5kHz
but generally up to 50kHz
Requires flexible and robust QoS with attention to connection time, transfer
delay, registration delay, and handover time
Allows for rapidly changing (several per second) network membership
Realizes optimal and power efficient device command and control
applications for energy-scavenged end devices

Goals and Intentions 2
•
•
•
•
Propagation path loss of approximately 140 dB
Potential for dozens of simultaneous wayside and network connections
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 Request
The following interpretation request concerns IEEE 802.15.42006, 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.
