Telecommunications Standards
• Must define aspects of two devices, the transmitter
and the receiver.
• A transmitter without compatible receiver does not
communicate.
• Telecommunications standards define compatibility,
not sameness.

Why Standards Are Important
• To Users
– Provides an open forum for discussion and development
– Allows multiple vendors to offer compatible hardware
• To the Industry in General
– Seeds Development of Technology
– Supports Interoperability of Multiple Vendors
– Speeds Market Acceptance
• To Semiconductor Suppliers
– Ensure technology is optimized for function
– Meet with Industry Technology Leaders
– Can provide common base for multiple standards

IEEE 802.15 Charter
The IEEE P802.15 WPAN Working Group is chartered
with developing Personal Area Network standards for
short distance wireless networks.
•
•
•
•
•
Build on emerging industry specifications
Provide an open forum to debate these proposals
Identify substantive issues
Build consensus on solutions
Goal is to create standards that have
– broad market applicability
– deal with the issues of coexistence and interoperability
– widely used

Benefits of Commonality
• Cooperation by “expert” participants in industry
• Peer review enables rapid development of new ideas
• Supports Interoperability of Multiple Vendors
• Multiple vendors able to participate and compete
• Semiconductor technology is optimized for function
• Semiconductor road maps feed into standards process
Economies of Scale become realizable
