802.15-00/402r0 PHY Proposal Executive Summary

The PHY adopted by the 802.15.3 task group operates in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band with a minimum raw data rate of 22 Mb/s. There will be optional modes that could allow it to go as high as 66 Mb/s, although the highest data rates will have coding that will decrease this rate.

Frequency Range2.4-2.4835 GHz
Symbol rate11 Msymbols/s
Base ModulationOQPSK
RF Bandwidth<22 MHz
Number of channelsat least 41
Transmit power0 to 8 dBm
Range10 m
Table 1: PHY Characteristics
1More channels may be allocated. There are only 3 channels in the 802.11b coexistence mode.

The modulation chosen for the standard is as follows:

ModulationCodingData rates
OQPSKnone22 Mb/s
16 QAMTBD22-44 Mb/s
32 QAMTBD33-55 Mb/s
64 QAMTBD44-66 Mb/s
Table 2: Modulation formats

The coding for the higher modulations will be selected based on the selection criteria.

The PHY is intended to comply with the regulations in the following geographical regions
