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.

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
•

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).

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.

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.

Dr. Darrell M Wilson, MD
Professor and Chief, Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes
Stanford University and the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford
Body Area Network and Diabetes – a template for medical
device communication
Internationally known clinical researcher, concentrating in the area of pediatric diabetes and
has published over 200 peer reviewed articles and chapters. His initial degree was in
electrical engineering, a BS from UC Davis in 1973. He has been an IEEE member since the
early 1970’s.
In his talk he reviewed diabetes disease, discussed current conventional treatment and
discuss cutting edge approaches, which include closed loop systems and their problems. He
then went over what he envisions as Body Area Network upsides for diabetes and what they
envision as important features/functional aspects to such a network.

IEEE802.15.THz_IG has been an Interest Group for 1.5 years (formed Jan
2008) … which could be a record for an Interest Group within IEEE802.15.
The interest group now meets with a stable group of regular participants.
There was some sentiment within the group that the progress of THz
spectrum regulation, devices, propagation modeling, and testing experience
warrants transition to a study group for preparation of a PAR and 5 C. But
there was also sentiment within the group that THz technology is not yet
pervasive enough within the industry to garner sufficient wide industry
participation.
Up until now we’ve heard a number of presentations on technology
(generation and detection of THz energy) but not many contributions on
application use cases … only two so far:
• AT&T for link distances of tens of meters and tens of Gbps
• Intel for short range (<1 meter) at multiple tens of Gbps
The group decided that we need more input from industry in regards to
anticipated usages for THz technology (relevant to IEEE802).
Submission
Slide 64
Robert F. Heile, ZigBee Alliance

Also, a discussion ensued regarding the use of infrared vs. THz, specifically
trading off performance and complexity. It was felt that having a better
understanding of use cases would also help to clarify this issue.
Therefore the Interest Group has decided to issue a “call for applications” to
solicit more application input and this CFA is under edit now and will be
issued shortly.
It is felt that the responses to this CFA will help answer question number one
of the 5 Criteria, which is BROAD MARKET POTENTIAL.
