Full Description

Scope

This project will define the PHY and MAC specifications for high data rate wireless connectivity with fixed, portable and moving devices within or entering a Personal Operating Space (POS). A goal of the WPAN-HR (High Rate) Task Group will be to achieve a level of interoperability or coexistence with other 802.15 Task Groups. It is also the intent of this project to work toward a level of coexistence with other wireless devices in conjunction with Coexistence Task Groups such as 802.15.2.

Purpose

To provide a standard for low complexity, low cost, low power consumption (comparable to the goals of 802.15.1) and high data rate wireless connectivity among devices within or entering the Personal Operating Space (POS). The data rate will be high enough, 20 Mbps or more, to satisfy a set of consumer multimedia industry needs for WPAN communications. The project will also address the Quality of Service capabilities required to support multimedia data types.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.The protocol and compatible interconnection of data and multimedia communication equipment via 2.4 GHz radio transmissions in a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) using low power and multiple modulation formats to support scalable data rates is defined in this standard.The Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer protocol supports both isochronous and asynchronousdata types
