PAN-Optimized Air Interfaces

For the design of air interfaces (AIs) being suitable for typical WPAN application scenarios, it is important to consider the overall objective of MAGNET Beyond, namely to design, develop, demonstrate and validate the concept of a flexible Personal Network (PN) that supports resource-efficient, robust, ubiquitous personal services in a secure, heterogeneous networking environment for mobile users. As a consequence, two PAN-optimized AI solutions, one for high and one for low data rate applications, have been envisaged. The high data rate (HDR) PAN applications will be enabled by a multi-carrier spread spectrum (MC-SS) air-interface solution and a MAC layer scheme utilizing IEEE 802.15.3. For low data rate (LDR) applications, a low-power, low-complexity frequency modulation based UWB (FM-UWB) air-interface solution and a MAC layer based on IEEE 802.15.4 is proposed. A so-called Universal Convergence Layer (UCL) sits on top of the both AIs and is in charge of interfacing the LDR and HDR MAC layers with higher layer protocols. The structure of selected air interfaces is depicted schematically in Fig. 4.1.
