July 2010 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -10 -0622 -00 Comment: James Gilb • The 802. 15. 1 -2005 standard is out of date as the Bluetooth SIG has released 3 or 4 major updates to the specification. Few, if any devices adhere only to the 1. 2 version of the Bluetooth Specification (the one used for this standard). In addition, this standard only has a small portion of the Bluetooth Specification and hence, a user would ultimately need to refer to the actual Bluetooth Specification in order to build a compliant implementation. At the very least, we should have a public statement from the Bluetooth SIG that it is acceptable to certify and get a logo today for devices that are compliant only to version 1. 2 of the Specification. In addition, the Bluetooth Specification may be downloaded for free, so there is no need for the 802. 15. 1 -2005 standard. Submission Slide 10 10 Robert F. Heile, Zig. Bee Alliance

July 2010 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -10 -0622 -00 Response to James Gilb • Disagree • There are billions of devices in operation that utilize the core specifications defined by this standard. The Bluetooth SIG has released specifications incorporating the 805. 1 -2005 standard, and all of those releases are backwards compatible with 802. 15. 1 -2005. The Bluetooth SIG specifications include higher layers of the communications stack than are specified in 802. 15. 1 -2005. The Bluetooth SIG qualification program still includes the 1. 2 version of the Bluetooth Specification. The Bluetooth Specification may only be downloaded by members of the Bluetooth SIG. While the lowest level of Bluetooth SIG membership requires no monetary fee, it does require those members to grant a royalty free license to any necessary claims required to implement a compliant portion of the Bluetooth specification. International regulatory bodies and academic researchers typically reference IEEE 802. 15. 12005 as the specification of a frequency hopping WPAN technology. Submission Slide 11 11 Robert F. Heile, Zig. Bee Alliance

July 2010 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -10 -0622 -00 Comment: Michael Mc. Gillan • The standard should be revised to support higher data rates using additional PHYs such as PSK or QPSK. Other existing POS WPAN standards support up to 3 Mbps using these technologies. Submission Slide 12 12 Robert F. Heile, Zig. Bee Alliance

July 2010 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -10 -0622 -00 Response: Michael Mc. Gillan • Out of Scope • The purpose of the reaffirmation ballot is to continue to use the existing document "as is". This comment does not point out any significant erroneous or obsolete information in the current standard. Also, in a reaffirmation, no changes can be made in the draft of the standard. We thank you for your comments. They will be recorded and may be forwarded to the WG responsible for consideration during a possible future revision. Submission Slide 13 13 Robert F. Heile, Zig. Bee Alliance

July 2010 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -10 -0622 -00 Comment: Emmanuel Monnerie • 802. 15. 1 is obsolete. The use of GFSK at 1 Mbit/s is not practical for most applications. The performance in multipath environment is poor and this modulation is not energy efficient. • For short range applications, it would be better to target higher frequency bands (cf Wireless USB or Wireless HDMI) and leave the 2. 4 GHz for 802. 11/Wifi. Low data rate, robust and energy efficient PHY options are proposed in 802. 15. 4 - TG 4 g. Submission Slide 14 14 Robert F. Heile, Zig. Bee Alliance

July 2010 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -10 -0622 -00 Response: Emmanuel Monnerie • Out of Scope • This comment does not reference one of the existing disapprove comments from the first ballot and the draft has not been changed. In addition, there are billions of devices using GPSK at 1 Mbit/s and each year a billion more are used in mobile phones, headsets, automobiles, and peripheral devices that depend on the energy efficient capabilities specified in this standard. The additional claim that 802. 15. 12005 is obsolete is not substantiated. Submission Slide 15 15 Robert F. Heile, Zig. Bee Alliance

July 2010 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -10 -0622 -00 Overview of PAR Review • As contained in the NEED: There are three completed amendments necessitating a revision. However, since there are currently three active amendment projects in process affecting both MAC and PHY functionality, time is of the essence to complete this revision ahead of the in process amendments and not alter any functionality as a result of this revision. As a consequence the intention is to limit the revision to maintenance changes (editorial and technical corrections) to 802. 15. 4 -2006 and incorporating the approved amendments, 802. 15. 4 a-2007, 802. 15. 4 c-2009 and 802. 15. 4 d-2009. • Comments were received from James Gilb, Jon Rosdahl, Bob Grow and Michael Kipness – Scope and Purpose should match original PAR and amendments – Need section is the proper place to highlight critical dependencies – Project number should be 802. 15. 4 • All comments were accepted and PAR further modified (WG approval 40/0/0) to reflect that over what was distributed Weds in doc IEEE P 802. 15 -15 -10 -0387 -02 -0000 Submission 19 Robert F.
