Latest News:

During the January 2009 meeting in Los Angeles, the group has resolved all the technical and editorial comments from the second recirculation ballot, LB48. The modified draft will be sent for the 3rd recirculation ballot in February 2009.  

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 March 8-13, 2009, Vancouver, Canada.

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 23rd meeting in January 2009 Los Angeles, CA, USA.  

Comment resolution of Draft 04 (P802-15-3c-D04_Draft_Amendment.pdf) has been completed.   A total of 8 contributions including comment resolutions were presented. The modified draft will be sent for the 3rd recirculation ballot in February 2009. The group has also prepared a coexistence assurance document for cooperative collaboration with other systems that occupy the same frequency band, such as the IEEE 802.11 TGad.
