IEEE 802 15 4 Addendum proposal adding 4

IEEE 802. 15. 4 Addendum proposal: adding 4 additional EU channels using the US PHY

Frequencies and Data Rates (1) Current band overview BAND COVERAGE DATA RATE CHANNEL(S) 2. 4 GHz ISM Worldwide 250 kbps 11 -26 868 MHz SRD Europe 20 kbps 0 915 MHz ISM Americas 40 kbps 1 -10

Frequencies and Data Rates (2) New bands overview BAND COVERAGE DATA RATE CHANNEL(S) 900 MHz ISM/SRD EU/US 40 kbps 1 -14 2. 4 GHz ISM Worldwide 250 kbps 15 -30

Frequencies and Data Rates (3) considering no change to the 868. 3 band BAND COVERAGE DATA RATE CHANNEL(S) 868. 0 – 868. 6 MHz EU 20 kbps 1 865. 0 – 868. 6 MHz 902 – 928 MHz EU US 40 kbps 2 -4 5 - 15 Worldwide 250 kbps 11 -26 2. 40 – 2. 485 GHz

Proposed change

Strategy The basis of the strategy is a three-pronged attack on three levels: 1. Working group level: Launch the arguments into the right committees, SE 24 and TG 28 2. Top Level ERO/ECC Ensure they get the message that IEEE answers precisely their need. 3. Top Level ETSI: Arrange (hopefully joint) backing from IEEE for a joint approach to ECC/ETSI, pushing the argument on the basis of world harmonisation, and speed and efficiency( don’t re-invent the wheel). 4. LPRA meeting Participate in the LPRA meeting with IEEE and/or Zig. Bee.
