Overview
The role of
IEEE 802.15 Low Energy Critical Infrastructure (LECIM) Task
Group 4k is to create a PHY amendment to 802.15.4 to
facilitate point to multi-thousands of points communications
for critical infrastructure monitoring devices. The
amendment addresses the application's user needs of minimal
network infrastructure, and enables the collection of
scheduled and event data from a large number of non-mains
powered end points that are widely dispersed, or are in
challenging propagation environments. To facilitate low
energy operation necessary for multi-year battery life, the
amendment minimizes network maintenance traffic and device
wake durations. In addition, the amendment addresses the
changing propagation and interference environments.
Current
Status
TG4k received NesCom approval December 9th 2010. The TG4k PAR can
be viewed here.
TG4k held its first meeting at the 802 Interim meeting in Los Angeles January
2011. During this meeting it agreed for a new Call for Applications and a Call
for Proposals.
The first Call
for Applications was issued in February 2010 by the LECIM IG. Presentations
were given at the March Plenary, held in Orlando March 2010.
A Technical Guidance Document (TGD) and a Call for Proposals will be drafted
at the May Interim session in Palm Springs, California. Preliminary proposals will be presented at
the July 2011 Plenary session in San Francisco, California.
