5 Criteria- 802.15 SG4TV, Amendment to 802.15.4 current revision
1. Broad Market Potential
a) Broad sets of applicability.
There are many existing 802.15.4 based low data rate command and control applications, such as outdoor infrastructure management and control, that can benefit from the advantages offered by a TV White Space Physical Layer, particularly better coverage and range with less infrastructure.
b) Multiple vendors and numerous users
There are many vendors and users of IEEE 802.15.4 wireless equipment for indoor and outdoor operation. It is expected that there will be several existing as well as several new vendors offering equipment for this band as an extension to their existing portfolio of products.
c) Balanced costs (LAN versus attached stations)
Based on known implementations of other TV White Space devices, the proposed amendment can be implemented with connectivity costs which are reasonably small as compared to the cost of devices or the value of the applications served even if there is an added cost burden of required elements needed to operate in TV White Spaces. Focusing on low data rate helps in lowering the overall cost of implementation and is the motivation for developing an optimized solution.
2. Compatibility
IEEE 802 defines a family of standards. All standards shall be in conformance with the IEEE 802.1 Architecture, Management, and Interworking documents as follows: 802 Overview and Architecture, 802.1D, 802.1Q, and parts of 802.1f. If any variances in conformance emerge, they shall be thoroughly disclosed and reviewed with 802.1.
Each standard in the IEEE 802 family of standards shall include a definition of managed objects which are compatible with systems management standards.
This standard will be compatible with the IEEE 802 requirements of Architecture, Management, and Inter-networking documents as required. There is no specific technology feature anticipated in the standard that could preclude this compliance.
3. Distinct Identity
- Substantially different from other IEEE 802 standards
There are no other IEEE 802 projects, utilizing unused TV channels, specifically addressing low data rate operation optimized for use in device command and control applications.
