July 2003 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -04/189 r 0 Forces on TG 4 since the 11/00 PAR-1 • European expansion of 868 MHz band in process • The “Banding Branding” Problem: Potential market confusion between the two existing PHYs difficult to overcome; may affect investment in the industry • 1% duty cycle of present 868 MHz band limits throughput and sleep time with present low data rate PHY Submission 2 Ed Callaway, Motorola

July 2003 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -04/189 r 0 Forces on TG 4 since the 11/00 PAR-2 • Additional WPAN applications (consumer remote control displaying channel, audio or low resolution video capture; security systems displaying low quality still image capture, 16 kbps encoded audio for voice recognition remotes, PC peripherals, toys, games, and automation and control systems) have been identified by Zig. Bee, that cannot be served by the existing 20/40 kb/s data rate. • Chip vendors have informally proposed nonstandard “dual band” chips, using 2. 4 GHz modulation scheme at 915 MHz, to get higher data rates there. Submission 3 Ed Callaway, Motorola

July 2003 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -04/189 r 0 Proposal • Create a new PHY for 802. 15. 4 that employs the 2. 4 GHz modulation scheme on the 865868. 6 MHz and 902 -928 MHz bands, but at half the chip rate: – A single 125 kb/s channel centered at 866. 8 MHz (Channel k = 27). – Ten 125 kb/s channels at 906 + 2 * (k – 28) MHz (k = 28 – 37, overlaying the existing channels).

July 2003 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -04/189 r 0 Features of Our Proposal-1 • A multiband TG 4 transceiver becomes much easier to build. Such a device could eliminate interoperability problems and resulting market confusion. • Users of the 902 -928 MHz band get a 3 x increase in data rate, without a reduction in the number of available channels. Submission 7 Ed Callaway, Motorola

July 2003 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -04/189 r 0 Features of Our Proposal-2 • Advantage is taken of the expanded 868 MHz band, giving European users a 6 x increase in data rate. • Economy of scale, greater purchasing leverage via reduced sourcing costs, and faster design cycle benefits are gained by the OEM.
