  11. IEEE-802-15-11-0731-01-0ptc • IEEE 802.15 Wireless PAN Working Group • IEEE 802.15.2 WIEEE 802.15 and 802.11 coexistence • IEEE 802.15.4 (2006) • Used by the ZigBee Alliance, ISA, Wireless HART, IETF (6LoWPAN), others • IEEE 802.15.4g Smart Utility Network • In-process effort to enable wireless connectivity for next generation of smart utility meters (electricity, gas, water, heat) with utilities • Operates on licensed or license-free bands, wide variety of channel widths, bandwidths, data rates • Ranges to 10’s of km • IEEE 802.15.4k Low-Energy Critical Infrastructure Monitoring • PHY amendment to 802.15.4 to facilitate point to multi-thousands of points communications for critical infrastructure monitoring devices (bridges, buildings, canals, etc.) • Addresses application's user needs of minimal network infrastructure • 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, amendment minimizes network maintenance traffic and device wake durations • Ranges to 10’s of km • IEEE 802.15.4m TV White Space Amendment • Chartered to specify new PHY to add functionality to the existing standard 802.15.4-2006 MAC meeting TV white space regulatory requirements • enables operation in the available TV white space • supports typical data rates in the 40 kbits per second to 2000 kbits per second range • Designed for optimal and power efficient device command and control applications Why IEEE 802.15? Jon Adams, Independent

  12. IEEE-802-15-11-0731-01-0ptc • PTC overview at July 2011 IEEE 802.11 WNG and 802.15 WNG sessions • Entitled: PTC Radio and System Architecture (11-11-1032-00-0wng-positive-train-control-radio-and-system-architecture.ppt), Jia-Ru Li, Lilee Systems • 802.15 voted to approve formation of an interest group • First step was to explore alignment with 15.4k LECIM Why IEEE 802.15? Jon Adams, Independent

  13. IEEE-802-15-11-0731-01-0ptc Challenging Propagation Environment • In the US, PTC allocated 220 – 222 MHz band (λ = 1.36 m) • High speed mobility environment • 500 km/h locomotive to trackside (1000 km/h closing speed) • “Collector” atop locomotive • Antenna on locomotive “roof”, 5m height above railtop • Roof 15 – 25 m long, 2.5 m wide, potentially 2km of metal-roofed cars ahead or behind • Endpoints (Wayside Equipment) • Fixed equipment along the track, antennas may only a few meters high or pole-mounted up to 8-10 m • Base Station • Network-connected base stations • Antennas may be on towers, buildings or other structures • Track environment – extreme in every direction • Mountainous terrain, tunnels, open cuts, viaduct with sound walls • All of above but with horizontal curvature and rain sheeting down walls • Dead flat straight track, technically line-of-sight between collector/endpoint but very strong Rayleigh fading due to strong reflection from rail/ground surface • Dense urban, non-line of sight, extreme multipath • Distributed Power Unit (DPU) • Remote controlled locomotive(s) separated from the crewed lead locomotive, separation up to 3 km Jon Adams, Independent

  14. PTC Considerations 1 Train-centric communications (locomotive/train is “center of universe”) High reliability PHY link, fault-tolerant, error-correcting or at least error-detecting Intention that data carried may be “vital” (life/safety critical) Strong link layer security features (flexible encryption, unique identity) Data rates relatively low, depending on function (9.6k to 100’s of kbps) Data communication speeds may be asymmetric Propagation generally non-line of sight or close to ground, fade environment often Rayleigh, exponents 2.6 (fixed to fixed) to 3.2 (fixed to mobile) Range to 2x braking distance (3 - 15 km) in typical urban/suburban/rural environments Equivalent Radiated Power (ERP) (depending on antenna height, channel #, region) Operation in licensed US 220 – 222 MHz band (but not excluding others) Channel spacing 5 kHz, may be aggregated (by license) Can support separate uplink and downlink bands (base and mobile) Potential for adjacent/alternate channel interferers Frequency agility may be useful IEEE-802-15-11-0731-01-0ptc Jon Adams, Independent

  15. IEEE-802-15-11-0731-01-0ptc PTC Considerations 2 • Absolute need for high-speed node mobility • Speeds up to 500km/h, closing speeds to 1000 km/h • Latencies determined by stopping distance, order of 1 second sufficient • Payloads from a few bytes for control/command to ability to transfer larger files with fragmentation for remote upgrade/maintenance • Selectable QoS or communications priority may be useful • Wayside devices likely extremely power constrained (battery, vibration, pressure, solar, other scavenging) • Current requirements up to 24 locomotives and 30 waysides on one base station, but concept scales to dozens of devices per km of track • Flexible enough to handle very rapidly changing network membership • Time slotted and contention access periods necessary Slide 15 Jon Adams, Independent
