Latest News:

During the May 2008 meeting in Jacksonville, the latest draft baseline text (DF3) was reviewed and modified.  A total of 172 comments were received, and all were resolved. TG3c plans to start a letter ballot in June and expects to complete the first letter ballot at the July 2008 meeting in Denver.  

Overview:

The IEEE 802.15.3 Task Group 3c (TG3c) was formed in March 2005. TG3c is developing a millimeter-wave-based alternative physical layer (PHY) for the existing 802.15.3 Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) Standard 802.15.3-2003.

This mmWave WPAN will operate in the new and clear band including 57-64 GHz unlicensed band defined by FCC 47 CFR 15.255. The millimeter-wave WPAN will allow high coexistence (close physical spacing) with all other microwave systems in the 802.15 family of WPANs.

In addition, the millimeter-wave WPAN will support high data rate at least 1 Gbps applications such as high speed internet access, streaming content download (video on demand, home theater, etc.).  Very high data rates in excess of 2 Gbps in option will be provided for simultaneous time dependent applications such as real time multiple HDTV video stream and wireless data bus for cable replacement.     

The next TG3c meeting will be in July 13-18, 2008, Hyatt Regency Denver at the Colorado Convention Center Denver, CO, USA.

All documents that have been offered to this group are downloadable from this webpage, the latest revisions are given.

Current Status:

The Task Group had its 19th meeting in May 2008 at Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront, Jacksonville, FL, USA.  

Draft baseline text (DF3) (PHY and MAC) was reviewed and modified. A total of 172 comments were received, and all were resolved.  A total of 33 contributions including comment resolutions were presented. The draft baseline text (DF4) will be prepared in June to start the letter ballot. The first letter ballot is expected to be completed at the July 2008 meeting in Denver.
