TG4g-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 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
Slide 11

TG4g-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).

Scope of MBAN Task Group
• Draft an amendment of 802.15.4 for MBAN
– This amendment defines a physical layer for IEEE
802.15.4 in the 2360 to 2400 MHz band which
complies with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) MBAN rules. This amendment
defines modifications to the MAC needed to
support this new physical layer.

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

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.

Towards Next Gen ULP Technologies (15-120139-02)
Presented by by S Emami (Samsung)
Significant interest was evidenced by the large number of people queued
for questions and comments. Many comments expressed the belief that it
would be appropriate for a study group to investigate the numerous
aspects of this concept.
A straw poll of those who would support the formation of a study group
including those interested in participating in a study group resulted in a
response of 34 approve and one against.
Shahriar Emami volunteered to chair this study group should it be formed.
