March 2007 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -<doc#> Ø Back-off modes needed to maintain QOS: • Example: For streaming video, all paths are temporarily, sufficiently inhibited such that transmission at maximum data rate is not possible. The system would scale back to a lower data rate that would allow transmission at the required PER. The system would return to a higher, and ultimately, maximum data rate when the channel is available. • Example: For the Kiosk case, user is bumped or distracted and so on while receiving data, data rate could scaled back temporarily until higher rate is re-established.

March 2007 Ø Back-of doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -<doc#> modes needed to implement near term in portable devices: • Back-off modes are needed to realistically enable any portable, low cost device to meet standards requirement any time soon: a. Power consumption – huge issue b. Bus speeds won’t support multi-gigabit data rates c. Buffers are an option, but large buffers probably not realistic solution d. Drives and flash memory may be options but still not likely to handle multi-gigabit rates… Submission 4 Bruce A Bosco, Motorola

March 2007 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -<doc#> • Tier I devices seen as primarily operating at base rate or above. • Tier II devices seen as primarily operating at base rate or below. • Tier II devices seen as near-term, entry-level devices. Could reach high volumes relatively quickly. Eventually, would evolve into Tier I devices, most likely in the 3 – 5+ year time frame. • However, to guarantee interoperability, establish common data rates up to and including the minimum as per 07 -0583 Systems Requirements and other documents (applies to less aggressive option only).

March 2007 Ø doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -<doc#> More aggressive “optimal” solution particularly in light of status of so-called competing technologies: • Optimal Solution: Base rate a. b. c. d. e. f. 3. 0 Gbps 2. 5 Gbps 2. 0 Gbps 1. 5 Gbps 1. 0 Gbps 0. 5 Gbps g. h. i. j. 1. 0 Gbps 0. 5 Gbps 0. 25 Gbps. 125 Gbps “Tier I” Common: 1. 0 Gbps 0. 5 Gbps “Tier II” Advantage: Probably near optimal for projected portable device roadmaps. “Tier II” devices compatible with USB 2 [1] and other data transfer protocols. 2 common data rates provide compatibility. Meets requirements of PAR. Disadvantage: “Tier II” devices have no mode of operation that meets 2. 0 Gbps… Submission 7 Bruce A Bosco, Motorola

March 2007 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -<doc#> Ø Discussion: • MAC is set up already to handle multiple rates. I. E. 11, 22, 33, 44, 55 MHz • Exact implementation TBD. • Proposed rates, including common, are not rock solid at this point but are open to discussion. Ø Recommendations: • Further investigate merits of variable data rate systems • Strongly consider one or both proposed back-off modes or propose an alternate mode Submission 8 Bruce A Bosco, Motorola
