Full Description

Scope

This amendment defines an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Physical layer (PHY) operating in the license-exempt bands below 1 GHz, e.g., 868-868.6 MHz (Europe), 950 MHz -958 MHz (Japan), 314-316 MHz, 430-434 MHz, 470-510 MHz, and 779-787 MHz (China), 917 - 923.5 MHz (Korea) and 902-928 MHz (USA), and enhancements to the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) to support this PHY, and provides mechanisms that enable coexistence with other systems in the bands including IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE P802.15.4g.The data rates defined in this amendment optimize the rate vs range performance of the specific channelization in a given band.This amendment also adds support for:-transmission range up to 1 km-data rates > 100 kbit/swhile maintaining the IEEE 802.11 WLAN user experience for fixed, outdoor, point to multi point applications.

Purpose

The purpose of this amendment defines operation of license-exempt IEEE 802.11 wireless networks in frequency bands below 1 GHz excluding the TV White Space bands.

Abstract

Amendment Standard - Active.Modifications to both the IEEE 802.11(TM) physical layer (PHY) and the medium access control (MAC) sublayer to enable operation of license-exempt IEEE 802.11 wireless networks in frequency bands below 1 GHz, excluding the television (TV) White Space bands, with a transmission range up to 1 km and a minimum data rate of at least 100 Kb/s are defined in this amendment.
