Subject: [802SEC] +++ECM: Motion for 802.15.3 Revision PAR Title Change
Hi all-
If possible, I would like to get another 15.3 Revision item cleaned up in time to be considered at the upcoming NesCom meeting. I did not see any negative comments to the analysis and suggested title I circulated previously (and repeated below) for the Revision
PAR, so Paul has authorized me to conduct an EC email ballot to seek approval.
Move that the EC approve changing the Title of the 802.15.3 Revision PAR from:
IEEE Standard for Information technology-- Local and metropolitan area networks-- Specific requirements-- Part 15.3: Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for High Data Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks(WPAN)
to:
Standard for High Data Rate Wireless Multi-Media Networks
Moved by: Bob Heile
Seconded by: James Gilb
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Early close: As required in subclause 4.1.2 'Voting rules' of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Operations Manual, this is notice that this ballot may close early once sufficient responses are received to clearly decide a matter. Sufficient responses
to clearly decide this matter will be based on the required majority for a motion under subclause 7.1.1 'Actions requiring approval by a majority vote' item (h), 'Other motions brought to the floor by members (when deemed in order by the Sponsor Chair)' of
the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Policies and Procedures.
Thanks and Regards
Bob

Greetings all-
Hope everyone had a safe journey back (or to IETF93).
I have submitted the revision PAR for 15.3 with the original title (though MyProjext deleted "IEEE" all on its own) for consideration at the upcoming NesCom meeting in September. Since this title does not really reflect what the standard does, I thought getting
some thoughts out on this now might pave the way for fixing this at some future point.
By way of background:
Original Tiltle:
IEEE Standard for Information technology-- Local and metropolitan area networks-- Specific requirements-- Part 15.3: Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for High Data Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks(WPAN)
Original Title without boilerplate:
Standard for Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for High Data Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks(WPAN)
Original Title without boilerplate and obvious text:
Standard for High Data Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks(WPAN)
The heartburn would seem to be around the proposed deletion of the two words "Personal Area". The issue is that "Personal Area" does not describe what this standard does since the applications supported are, by and large, anything but "personal" and/or personal
short range.
Geoff suggested I might consider thinking about this in terms of the MAC, which I thought was a really sensible idea. The 15.3 MAC was designed from the beginning as a true Mulit-Media MAC rather than one optimized for LAN applications. It has robust GTS capabilities,
a variable contention access period, and the ability to dynamically adjust to maximize throughput. Things you would expect for Multi-media and the reason it was chosen as the base standard for the 2 current ammendments.
So maybe a title which read:
"Standard for High Data Rate Wireless Multi-Media Networks" (or versions containing more of the non essential boilerplate) would be not only more accurate but also more acceptable.
I would appreciate your thoughts or alternative suggestions.
Regards
Bob
