| IEEE 802.15 Working Group for
WPANs The IEEE 802.15 Working Group develops Personal Area Network
consensus standards for short distance wireless networks; a.k.a. WPANs™.
IEEE 802.15 WPAN Task
Group 1 (TG1) The IEEE 802.15 TG1 is deriving a Wireless Personal Area
Network standard based on the Bluetooth™ v1.x Foundation
Specification's.
IEEE 802.15 WPAN Task
Group 2 (TG2) The IEEE 802.15 Coexistence Task Group 2 (TG2) for
Wireless Personal Area Networks™ is developing Recommended Practices to
facilitate coexistence of Wireless Personal Area Networks™ (802.15) and
Wireless Local Area Networks (802.11). The Task Group is developing a
Coexistence Model to quantify the mutual interference of a WLAN and a WPAN™.
The Task Group is also developing a set of Coexistence Mechanisms to
facilitate coexistence of WLAN and WPAN™ devices.
IEEE 802.15 WPAN Task
Group 3 (TG3) The IEEE P802.15.3 High Rate (HR) Task Group (TG3) for
Wireless Personal Area Networks™ (WPANs™) is chartered to draft and
publish a new standard for high-rate (20Mbit/s or greater) WPANs™.
Besides a high data rate, the new standard will provide for low power, low
cost solutions addressing the needs of portable consumer digital imaging
and multimedia applications.
IEEE 802.15 WPAN Task
Group 4 (TG4) The IEEE 802.15 TG4 is chartered to investigate a low
data rate solution with multi-month to multi-year battery life and very
low complexity. It is intended to operate in an unlicensed, international
frequency band. Potential applications are sensors, interactive toys,
smart badges, remote controls, and home automation. |
