  24. 802.15.2-Coexistence 802.15.2Task Group 2Coexistence of Wireless Applications in the Unlicensed Bands Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  25. 802.15.2-Coexistence Need for a Coexistence Recommended Practice • It is important that IEEE 802.15 WPAN devices coexist with other wireless devices in the unlicensed frequency bands. • In particular it is very important that 802.15 WPAN devices coexist with IEEE 802.11 WLAN devices. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  26. 802.15.2-Coexistence Definition of Coexistence • Multiple wireless devices are said to “coexist” if they can be collocated without significantly impacting the performance of any of these devices. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  27. 802.15.2-Coexistence Interoperability • The IEEE currently defines three levels of interoperability • Physically exchanging two interoperable devices causes no damage to the devices • Similar to our definition of coexistence • Interoperable devices can exchange data • We will allow but not require interoperability as a coexistence mechanism. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  28. 802.15.2-Coexistence WPAN Interoperability Classes • Class 4 - Fully Interoperable • Class 3 - Partial Interoperability: there is a way on the medium to exchange data without an intermediate device • Class 3a Transmit and Receive • Class 3b Receive Only • Class 3c Detect Energy • Class 2 - Bridge-like (1 MAC/2 PHYs) • Class 1 - Gateway-like (> 1 MAC) • Class 0 - Non Interoperable Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  29. 802.15.2-Coexistence Scope of Coexistence Task Group • The goal will be to address coexistence of: • Any 802.15 WPAN with any 802.11 WLAN • Any 802.15 WPAN with any other 802.15 WPAN (assuming there will be more than one) • Any 802.15 WPAN with selected other devices in the same band (e.g. HomeRF). Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  30. 802.15.2-Coexistence Coexistence Task Group Charter Three Phases 1. Develop a Coexistence Model 2. Suggest Recommended Practices for 802.15, 802.11 and other band users to facilitate coexistence. 3. Possibly suggest option choices or modifications to the 802.15 and 802.11 standards to enhance coexistence. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  31. 802.15.2-Coexistence Coexistence Model • The purpose of this model is: • To understand under what circumstance there is a coexistence problem and under what circumstances there is not a problem. • To develop supporting evidence to justify the recommended suggested practices and possible standards modifications. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  32. 802.15.2-Coexistence Coexistence Model PHY Layer Models Data Traffic Models MAC Layer Models Coexistence Model RF Propagation Models Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  33. 802.15.2-Coexistence Coexistence Model • PHY Models • Models of the 802.11 and 802.15 PHY layers which will predict the impact of mutual interference when multiple devices are operating simultaneously, based upon given signal power levels. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  34. 802.15.2 802.15.2-Coexistence Coexistence Model • Data Traffic Model • Model the data traffic flow based upon different application scenarios for both the WLAN and WPAN networks • Voice traffic • File transfer • Warehouse data collection • Video & Others Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  35. 802.15.2-Coexistence Coexistence Model • MAC Layer Models • Model the WLAN and WPAN MAC layers. • Combine that with the Data Traffic models to determine when each of the networks are transmitting data Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  36. 802.15.2-Coexistence Coexistence Model • RF Propagation Model • Model RF signal power levels at the different WPAN and WLAN nodes based on an RF propagation model. • Consider different application scenarios and physical distribution of devices. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  37. 802.15.2-Coexistence Coexistence Model • Bring together the four parts of the model to predict the impact on the WPAN and WLAN networks. • Data throughput • Data latency Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  38. 802.15.2-Coexistence Coexistence Task Group Plan • Review previously performed research. • Form Teams to work the different areas of the Coexistence Models. • Plan out what is the best approach to model the four areas of the model. • Plan out what is the best method to synthesize the four areas of the model. • Select the network performance metrics we plan to use.

  40. 802.15.3-High Rate WPAN Purpose • Provide a high speed PHY and MAC enhancement to 802.15.1 for applications which involve Imaging, Multimedia, and networks with more than 8 users. • Bi - Modal PHY • Compatible with 802.15.1 • 20+ Mbps Multimedia Capable • MAC • Isochronous • Enhancements to 802.15.1 • Not to impede Task Group 1 progress or direction Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  42. 802.15.3-High Rate WPAN Broad Market Potential • Today’s, low bandwidth wireless systems do not satisfy the needs for consumer priced, embedded, high data rate systems. • Applications include: • Digital (Still) Imaging • Multimedia (Video, Voice over IP) • Many-user systems • Activity initiated by Eastman Kodak, Motorola, Cisco Systems. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  43. 802.15.3-High Rate WPAN Compatibility • Bi-Modal • The proposal will be backward compatible with 802.15.1 1Mbps mode using the dual mode PHY layer and MAC. • Is intended to conform to the 802 standards guidelines imposed on 802.15. • Task Group will work with Coexistence Task Group. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  44. 802.15.3-High Rate WPAN Distinct Identity • 20+ Mbps High Speed Personal Area Network is not currently being addressed by other Standards bodies or Industry Groups • 802.11a & b addresses the speed, but not the requirements of an embeddable consumer oriented WPAN. • 802.15.1 addresses the requirements of an embeddable consumer oriented WPAN, but not the speed. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  45. 802.15.3-High Rate WPAN Technical Feasibility • PHY - A 20 Mbps prototype is operational. • ASIC architecture has passed internal feasibility review • Prototype performance testing has started • MAC - Several enhancements to 802.15 TG1 are being modeled and simulated at the Protocol and Network levels. • Technology is scaleable to higher data rates and 5.8 GHz. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000

  46. 802.15.3-High Rate WPAN Economical Feasibility • Bill of Materials expected to be consistent with current Task Group 1 estimates. • Current ASIC estimates and discrete bill of materials provide validation. Bob Heile-May 16, 2000
