Summary of 36 Rejected
“Must Be Satisfied” Comments from No Voters
– 4 comments - cross-references are wrong; Response is reject,
Reference is either to base or other amendments.
– 12 comments - don't deviate from 4g; Response is reject,
PAR does not require "full backwards compatibility with 4g.
– 1 comment - add 2-FSK mode same as 4g; Response is reject,
PAR does not require it.
– 2 comments - remove bands overlapping with 4g; Response is reject,
The use of the defined bands facilitates an uninterrupted link to be
maintained.
– 2 comments - remove parity bit; Response is reject,
Inclusion of parity check allows for error detection in some cases.
– 1 comment - change 16-bit CRC to 8-bit CRC; Response is reject,
One OFDM symbol consists of 50 bits and there are enough bits
available to allow 16 bit CRC.
– 2 comments - nominal BW is wrong; Response is reject,
Data is carried at DC subcarrier in NB-OFDM, resulting in 380.95kHz.
Submission
Bob Heile, ZigBee Alliance
doc.: IEEE 802.15-13-0477-00
Summary of 36 Rejected
“Must Be Satisfied” Comments from No Voters
– 3 comments - remove option of 24-bit SFD; Response is reject,
The benefits of a 24 bit SFD are described in document 15-12-003000.
– 3 comments - don't need 9-bit scramble seed; Response is reject,
One OFDM symbol consists of 50 bits and there are enough bits
available to allow 9 bit scrambling seed.
– 2 comments - don't need to impose and remove 51-byte 00 Hex;
Response is reject,
Clarified by adding sentence: "51-byte zeros shall be prepended to
each 188 byte data.“
– 2 comments - last STF "s" should be negated; Response is reject,
We don’t need to negate the last "s" symbols in the STF repetition
because we can use the LTF detection algorithm using frequencydomain correlation characteristic of LTF.
– 2 comments - normalize STF; Response is reject,
We don’t need to normalize the STF accordingly to the DATA because
the STF power boosting factor adjusts the power of the STF.

Scope of CMB Task Group
• Draft an amendment of 802.15.4 for MBAN
• This amendment defines a physical layer for IEEE Std.
802.15.4 utilizing the approved 174-216 MHz, 407-425
MHz and 608-630 MHz medical bands in China. This
amendment defines modifications to the Medium Access
Control (MAC) layer needed to support this new physical
layer.

CMB Background
• Wireless connectivity is already used for healthcare applications both
within hospitals and in residential situations. This provides flexibility to
clinicians and healthcare providers and mobility and convenience for the
patients. Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPAN) are
already widely being used for this. Applications include
electrocardiography and the monitoring of pulse oximetry, blood pressure
and glucose levels as well as other patient vital signs like respiration,
heart rate and temperature. In China as in the US, LR-WPAN is part of
the growing Internet of Things Industries; it has been applied in hospital
areas for medical and related info communications.
• IEEE Std. 802.15.4 Chinese medical devices will make use of the existing
high volume applications in the Chinese medical bands.

Closing Plenary Meeting Report for IG THz Group (3/3)
• Strawpoll on forming a SG 100GbW with the following task:
The TeraHertz Interest Group (IG THz) wishes to start a study group with
the scope of determining the validity of a standard on “100GbW (100
Gbit/s over beam switchable wireless point-to-point links)”. Potential
applications of interest include wireless data centers, wireless intradevice communication, and wireless backhauling. The wave length of
interest for the PHY will be millimeter-wave or shorter. The
recommendation of the study group will be to amend the
standard802.15.3.
Result: 16 yes / 0 no / 0 abstain
• Strawpoll on submitting a letter to FCC supporting IEEE-USA petition:

Meeting Goals (15-13-0356-02)
 SC Maintenance
Three teams that had been working on each of the three ETSI TC ERM requests
reported back to SC-mag at the July plenary:
 Agreed on extension range of values of the 802.15.4 Frame Types
 Agreed on definition of a mechanism suitable for allocation/management of
802.15.4 IE IDs for all requests including external SDOs
 Agreed upon resolution to the disconnect on the Information Element TLV
structure between IEEE 802.15.4 and ETSI

SC Maintenance Accomplishments
ETSI TC ERM change requests
1) Frame ID Extension
SC-M agreed to recommend defining the last reserved
Frame ID value (0b111) to indicate an Extended Frame ID
format consisting of 5 additional bits (total 8-bit Frame ID).
IEEE will manage the assignment of the extended Frame ID
space to IEEE task groups or SDOs. The value 0b111 111
was agreed to be assigned to TIA to ratify the TR51 Frame
ID, giving TIA effectively 4 Frame IDs.
The frame format associated with extended Frame ID
values is to be defined with each Frame ID as usual.

SC Maintenance Accomplishments
ETSI TC ERM change requests
2) ID Management
SC-M agreed to recommend that IEEE should manage the allocation
of various resource IDs including IE IDs. The re-definition of
'unmanaged' ID ranges to 'Reserved' will be coordinated with vendors
who have already used 'unmanaged' range values in their products.
Requests for resource values by external SDOs should be via the
MOU channel between IEEE and the external SDO. IEEE will review
the request and may suggest alternate solutions instead of assigning
resource identifiers where appropriate. The timescale for response to a
request should cover 2 IEEE meetings (i.e. of the order 2 months).
A liaison response to ETSI should be generated to report on progress
on discussions of resource allocation management.

3) IE Descriptor Format
SC-M agreed to recommend that the last version number value (0b11) for
15.4-2011 frame types (Beacon, Data, ACK, MAC Command) should be
used to indicate that IEs use TLV descriptor format. Version 0b10 frames
(current 15.4e values) use LTV descriptor format.
Similarly, Version 0b01 Multipurpose frames use TLV descriptor format.
Existing 0b00 Version Multipurpose frames use LTV descriptor format.
Any future changes to 15.4-2011 frames can be accommodated by the large
available extended frame ID space.
A final note was also agreed that the one remaining reserved bit in 15.4-2011
frames should be assigned if possible when the new version is defined otherwise it will not be possible to use the bit as there is no further version
number space

SC WNG Presentations
1. Presentation (15-13-0404-01) on Establishing a Study Group
on Spectrum Resource Usage (SG-SRU) by S Kitazawa
•
The focus of the Study Group is to draft a PAR and 5C for achieving more
efficient utilization of spectrum resources through mechanisms of Radio
Resource Measurement and Management for WPANs, primarily targeting
applications using 802.15.4.
• Of particular interest are applications typical of those found in
Hospital/Medical/Healthcare, Industrial Automation, and Infrastructure
Monitoring.

3 Presentation (15-13-0398-02) on Short Camera
Communications (CamCom) Tutorial by R Roberts
•
There is an emerging interest in the implementation of Visible Light
Communications (VLC) for uni-directional, low data rate, short message
broadcasts via LEDs using an image sensor as the receiving device. In response,
IEEE802.15 LED ID IG is contemplating transitioning from an interest group to
a study group focusing on writing a PAR and 5C in regards to camera
communications (CamCom).
3 Presentation (omniran-13-048-04) on OmniRAN by Max
Riegal
• The slides present the results of the study group addressing the objectives and
contain some thoughts on the potential ways forward.
• There is no conclusion yet in OmniRAN EC SG, whether and how to progress the
effort.
