The message below was first issued on Nov 15.  The
Study Group is now officially a Task Group (TG4).  The CFA is closed
on Dec 31, so please respond as soon as possible.  One additional
question has been added to this revision:

22. Will this application benefit from location awareness? What is the
required positioning accuracy and update rate [x,y,z,t]?

Attached is a zip of the
revised CFA




---------------------------------------------------
The Low Rate WPAN PAR, 802.15.4, cleared another hurdle at the recent 802
Plenary Meeting in Tampa.  The 802 Executive Committee approved
forwarding the PAR to NesCom for consideration at the upcoming meeting in
December.  Anticipating a positive outcome,  attached to this
email is a Call for Applications (CFA). 

Preliminary to considering MAC and PHY proposals it is important to
document the criteria that need to  met by an effective Low Rate
Standard.  The the responses to the CFA form an important basis of
information to generate the criteria.  These, in turn, become the
basis of the Call for Proposals.

The Low Rate Group intends to operate on a fast paced schedule as the
need for a standard in now, hence we are looking for response by the end
of the year with the goal of hearing these submissions at the January
Interim Meeting in Monterey.

Please submit your
application descriptions to me at bheile@bbn.com or the LRSG
Vice-Chairman, Pat Kinney at Pat.Kinney@intermec.com no later than
December 31st
2000.  Also please forward the CFA to any interested parties you might know.

Thanks

Bob
