IEEE Draft Amendment to IEEE Standard for Information technology--telecommunications and information exchange between systems--Local and metropolitan area networks--Specific requirements--Part 15.3: Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for High Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs): Amendment 2: Millimeter-wave based Alternative Physical Layer Extension

This project will define a 25 to 100 GHz (millimeter wave) alternative PHY clause for higher data rate amendment to Standard 802.15.3-2003. This frequency range allows for the USA and Japanese unlicensed allocations and expected unlicensed allocations in other countries. Data rates will be at least 1 Gbps under normal operating conditions with a typical range no less than 10 meters.
