  5. Fill in Target Completion Date to IEEE RevCom : [Nov/2000] 

6. Scope of Proposed Project:

[To define PHY and MAC specifications for wireless connectivity with fixed, portable and moving devices within or entering a Personal Operating Space (POS). A goal of the WPAN Group will be to achieve a level of interoperability which could allow the transfer of data between a WPAN device and an 802.11 device.

A Personal Operating Space (POS) is the space about a person or object that typically extends up to 10 meters in all directions and envelops the person whether stationary or in motion. The proposed WPAN Standard will be developed to ensure coexistence with all 802.11 Networks.

] 

7. Purpose of Proposed Project:

[
To provide a standard for low complexity, low power consumption wireless connectivity to support interoperability among devices within or entering the Personal Operating Space (POS). This includes devices (see 12c) that are carried, worn, or located near the body. The proposed project will address Quality of Service to support a variety of traffic classes.

Examples of devices, which can be networked, include Computers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)/Handheld Personal Computers (HPCs), printers, microphones, speakers, headsets, bar code readers, sensors, displays, pagers, and cellular & Personal Communications Service (PCS) phones.

[No] {Yes, with detailed explanation below / No}
[...] {Explanation}

9. Are you aware of any other standards or projects with a similar scope?

[Yes] {Yes, with detailed explanation below / No}
[Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Home Radio Frequency Working Group (HRFWG), Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Forum.

These groups are not standards organizations but Industry Consortia which have similar charters and the Working Group intends to establish liaisons with these groups as appropriate. As Industry Consortia formal coordination in Item 12 may be inappropriate. The WAP coordination will be monitored for appropriateness, as this industry forum may not be developing specifications in this area.
