TG3c 9th Meeting, Melbourne Opening Introduction

PAR TG3c Title

• Millimeter-wave based Alternative Physical
  Layer Extension for IEEE Standard 802.15.3-2003
  titled Part 15 Wireless Medium Access Control
  (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for
  High Rate Personal Area Networks (WPANs)

PAR TG3c Scope

• This project will define a 25 to 100 GHz
  (millimeter wave) alternative PHY clause for
  higher data rate amendment to Standard
  802.15.3-2003. This frequency range allows for
  the USA and Japanese unlicensed allocations and
  expected unlicensed allocations in other
  countries. Data rates will be at least 1 Gbps
  under normal operating conditions with a typical
  range no less than 10meters

5
PAR TG3c Purpose

• The purpose is to standardize an alternative PHY
  that can achieve higher data rate transmission,
  higher spectral re-use via optional directional
  antennas, and superior coexistence than existing
  802.15.3 wireless system. Multiple data rates
  will be offered. Data rates of at least 1 Gbps,
  will satisfy an evolutionary set of consumer
  multi-media industry needs for WPAN
  communications.
• Additional Explanatory Notes (Excerpted)
• High data rates of more than 2Gbps will be
  required for simultaneous time dependent
  applications such as multiple HDTV video streams
  without sacrificing the requirements for low
  complexity and low power consumption

IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws on Patents in
Standards

• 6. Patents
• IEEE standards may include the known use of
  essential patents and patent applications
  provided the IEEE receives assurance from the
  patent holder or applicant with respect to
  patents whose infringement is, or in the case of
  patent applications, potential future
  infringement the applicant asserts will be,
  unavoidable in a compliant implementation of
  either mandatory or optional portions of the
  standard essential patents. This assurance
  shall be provided without coercion and prior to
  approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a
  patent or patent application becomes known after
  initial approval of the standard). This assurance
  shall be a letter that is in the form of either
• a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the
  patentee will not enforce any of its present or
  future patent(s) whose use would be required to
  implement either mandatory or optional portions
  of the proposed IEEE standard against any person
  or entity complying with the standard or
• b) A statement that a license for such
  implementation will be made available without
  compensation or under reasonable rates, with
  reasonable terms and conditions that are
  demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination.
• This assurance shall apply, at a minimum, from
  the date of the standard's approval to the date
  of the standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable
  during that period.
