improvements to the current standard Abstract
This document proposes an change to the current
IEEE 802.15.4 PHY to make the device simpler and
cheaper and easier useable between US/EU
products. Purpose For discussion within the
IEEE 802.15.4 task group on future work and
direction. Notice This document has been
prepared to assist the IEEE P802.15. It is

Strategy for Europe

• The basis of the strategy is a three-pronged
  attack on three levels
• 1. Working group level
• Launch the arguments into the right committees,
  SE24 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( dont re-invent the wheel).
• 4. LPRA meeting
• Participate in the LPRA meeting with IEEE and/or
  ZigBee.
