6、om Eldad Perahia Comment: The mesh network will be used to extend network coverage and by doing so complete changes the coverage paradigm. This is no longer a PAN technology and is now a LAN. This will greatly increase interference to other systems using the same bands. With the new coverage capabil
7、ities, interference into other systems and coexistence with other systems must be analyzed and addressed. Resolution (disagree): The mesh network does raise the interference level to some extend. However, being a low power, low data rate network, we believe LR-WPANs interference will not seriously a
8、ffect WiFi communications. We clearly stated the low power, low rate feature in Subclause 5.1. Other reasons include,1). 802.15.4-based LR WPAN mesh is built for sensor/control networks and have very light traffic in most applications, such as light switches, utility meters and thermostats. 2). Ther
9、e are four 15.4 channels (15, 20, 25, 26) that are not overlay with WiFi channels. By using the build-in automatic scanning mechanism, 15.4-based the networks can operate in different channels with WiFi. 3) 802.15.5 is not the first and the only mesh network standard based on 15.4. In fact, the ZigB
10、ee Alliance has done quite some research, including field test, on coexistence issues between WiFi and ZigBee. In fact, what people worry about is high-power WiFi will affect low-power ZigBee/15.4, not the other way around. 4) The coexistence problem has been addressed by 802.15.2.5) IEEE 802.15.4 s

A study must have been done before 15.4 became a standard.SubmissionNovember 2008Myung Lee, CUNYSlide 7Technical Comment for High Rate Part from Eldad Perahia Comment: The mesh network will be used to extend network coverage and by doing so complete changes the coverag
12、e paradigm. This is no longer a PAN technology and is now a LAN. This will greatly increase interference to other systems using the same bands. With the new coverage capabilities, interference into other systems and coexistence with other systems must be analyzed and addressed.Resolution (Disagree):
13、 Generally, interference and coexistence are critical factors in mesh networks. However, we believe that they will not generate serious problems due to the following reasons.1) Although IEEE802.15.3-based HR WPAN mesh extends to network coverage, the coverage is usually not that big. According to th
14、e technical requirements document for this draft, network size of HR WPAN mesh is at most 20 devices. Therefore HR WPAN mesh is still suitable for PAN, not for LAN.2) WPAN devices may not have a direct communication among participating devices in the network even in the small covered area. This happ
15、ens due to the attenuation by barriers like walls, doors, tables etc. The desirable mesh concept for HR WPAN is to remove such attenuation affecting on link performance, not simply to extend network coverage itself.3) Extending the coverage using the mesh architecture does not alter the characterist
16、ics of interference itself, but only increases the chances of encountering interference from other networks. Thus, we believe that the various methods described in the IEEE Std. 802.15.3-2003 Annex C are still effective to reduce the interference in the mesh environments. For example, if the HR-WPAN
17、 detects the presence of 802.11 WLAN, the PNC would choose a new channel that is not overlapped with the WLAN by adopting the coexistence channel plan. Provided that the 802.11 AP is equipped with additional functionalities as proposed by IEEE Std. 802.15.2-2003, the 802.11 WLAN may also share the s
18、uperframe structure of the HR-WPAN in the same channel by joining as a neighbor piconet. The HR-WPAN PHY has characteristics that make it easier to build dual-mode 802.11/802.15.3 radios. For more detailed descriptions, refer to the IEEE Std. 802.15.3-2003 Annex C.SubmissionIEEE802.15.5 Recommended

30、PAR need to include evidence that there is user demand for yet another RFID standard There are existing efforts in other standards organizations but none have the wherewithal to build an air interface protocol that 802.15.4 already addresses in a way that can meet the active RFID requirements. Addit
31、ionally, many of the other organizations specifically name IEEE 802.15.4 as viable and available globally to provide a standard air interface protocol for this purpose. Action: Response to commentsThere are multiple single-purpose standards in the market place today. Whats missing is a true, globall
32、y available multi-purpose standard. If a true global multi-purpose standard is developed, then it is highly likely that it would be used in all of the industries referred to in the 5C document, which in turn would mean a very large user base.

33、RFID PAR and 5C Comments Received from 802.11The 802.15.4 RFID PAR & 5C are incomplete and should not be approved because: The 5C & PAR need explain what technical deficiencies of existing systems the proposed standard will address Most active tags today in the market use a simplex (one-way) transmi
34、ssion scheme used for the sole purpose of determining location in order to reduce their energy consumption and have no congestion control mechanism for high density reads. Active RFID tags require the ability to provide bi-directional communications as well as ranging, and congestion control for hig
35、h density reads using ultra-low power.One active tag type mentioned in the 5C document, is not capable of bi-directional communication, nor ranging, nor multi-lateration in determining location is ISO/IEC 18000-7 (433 MHz). This tag type is used for identification but requires interrogation from a r
36、eader and does not transmit autonomously, uses a frequency not globally available, has no mechanism for congestion control, and has a limited read distance.

37、complete and should not be approved because: The 5C & PAR need to provide a better justification of technical feasibility for a unified standard that addresses the requirements of all market segmentsEconomies of scale in the active RFID markets are not being met due to a lack of a globally available
38、 standard. Today, numerous vendors are producing active tags that meet very specific (and proprietary/non-interoperable) requirements of customers but are doing so with proprietary solutions. An active RFID standard will set the baseline for continued growth but gain the value that economies of scal
39、e can bring to price and production levels. Action: Added to section 5.5 of the PARSubmission802.15.4 RFID PAR and 5C Comments Received from 802.11The 802.15.4 RFID PAR & 5C are incomplete and should not be approved because: The 5C & PAR need to acknowledge the use of 802.11 in this space today and
40、explain why a 802.15.4 based solution will be significantly betterSome vendors have decided to adopt 802.11 for active location tags. This type of active tag is used exclusively for location determination and some (relatively little) sensing. The primary issue with using 802.11 for autonomous active
41、 RFID tags is the amount of energy required to power the tag and the short lifetime and short mean time between maintenance intervals to replace batteries. Autonomous RFID tags are required to run for 3-5 years without a battery change. This is not possible with 802.11. 802.11 continues to focus on
42、higher data rates than what is common with 802.15.4 and less on ultra-low energy consumption (a focus within 802.15.4). Furthermore, the volume of active RFID tags within a confined region using 802.11 will have a severe impact (high collision rate) on non-tag stations on the same WiFi network (ther
43、e are typically only three(3) non-overlapping channels) . The 802.15.4f PAR includes a PHY amendment to the 802.15.4 standard to include narrow bandwidth PHY channels less than 3MHz wide (to increase available channels) which would reside below, between, and above 802.11 channels to minimize the cha
44、nce of interference. Action: Added to 4b of the 5C documentSubmissionThe 802.15.4 RFID 5C & PAR incorrectly claim there is no existing international standard The 5C asserts that there is a need for an international standard for active RFID, and the PAR asserts that is there in no international stand
45、ard.Most active tags today in the market use a simplex (one-way) transmission scheme used for the sole purpose of determining location in order to reduce their energy consumption and have no congestion control mechanism for high density reads. Active RFID tags require the ability to provide bi-direc
46、tional communications as well as ranging, and congestion control for high density reads using ultra-low power. There are no international standards that meet this capability and moreover, EPCglobal has specifically identified 802.15.4 as one clear possible air interface protocol for active RFID tags
47、 that may meet active RFID tag requirements. Action: Added to section 5.5 of the PAR document802.15.4 RFID PAR and 5C Comments Received from 802.11SubmissionThe 802.15.4 RFID 5C & PAR incorrectly claim there is no existing international standard However, the 5C indicates that an international standa
48、rd does exist, and even quotes the number of an ISO standard. One active tag type mentioned in the 5C document as an example, is not capable of bi-directional communication, nor ranging, nor multi-lateration in determining location, is ISO/IEC 18000-7 (433 MHz). This tag type is used for identificat
49、ion but requires interrogation from a reader, does not transmit autonomously, has no mechanism for congestion control, and has a limited read distance.
