wpan/ Call for Intent to Propose-Low Rate WPAN

[Bob Heile <bheile@bbn.com>]

A few weeks ago, the IEEE 802.15 Low Rate Study Group issued
a Call for Applications for low-rate wireless personal area networks
(WPAN-LR) (CFA doc 00/390). The submitters are being asked to present
their applications during the next interim meeting in Monterey in January
of 2001. Following the review of the presented applications, the group
will issue a Call for Proposal (CFP) at the meeting. 

To better plan and schedule, the Low Rate Group is issuing this call for
statements of intent (attached to this email) to present proposals for
the Low Rate WPAN standard . The group anticipates the Call for Proposals
ending at the start of the March 12, 2001 meeting of the IEEE 802.15
Working Group. The submitters will be asked to present their proposals
during the March meeting.

Letters of intent to propose a new standard in compliance with the
accepted PAR should be sent to the acting Chairman of the WPAN-LR task
group, Bob Heile, at
bheile@ieee.org
and to the Vice-Chairman, Pat Kinney, at
Pat.Kinney@intermec.com,
and to the Secretary, Marco Naeve, at
marconaeve@eaton.com
by January 14th 2001.

The submitter may propose a PHY or a MAC solution or a combined PHY and
MAC solution. The letter of intent should include the name of the
submitter, the contact information such as e-mail address and phone
number, the title of the proposal and it should state the type of the
proposed solution (PHY or MAC only or PHY and MAC).  A letter of
intent in no way obligates the submitter to present a proposal if, at a
later date they chose not to.
