PAR for 802.15.3b

• Amendment to 802.15.3-2003
• Scope This amendment contains changes to the
  IEEE Std 802.15.3 required to improve
  implementation and interoperability. This will
  include minor optimizations while preserving
  backward compatibility. In addition, this
  amendment will correct errors, clarify
  ambiguities, and add editorial clarifications.
• Passed the WG by Unanimous Consent in both
  January and March
• No comments received

PAR for 802.15.4a

• Amendment to 802.15.4-2003
• Scope This project will define an alternative
  PHY clause for a data communication standard with
  precision ranging, extended range, enhanced
  robustness and mobility amendment to standard
  802.15.4 (18a).

PAR for 802.15.4 REVb

• Revision to 802.15.4-2003
• Scope This project will define enhancements and
  corrections to the existing standard. The revised
  standard will be backward compatible with IEEE
  P802.15.4-2003.
• The considered enhancements shall be limited to
• A method for shared time-base distribution.
• Support for new frequency allocations for
  Europe, China, and Japan.
• Extension of 2.4GHz derivative modulation
  yielding higher data rates for the lower
  frequency bands.
• Mechanism for communicating the revision level.
•  
• The considered corrections are
• Resolving ambiguities.
• Removing unnecessary complexity, such as making
  GTS support optional and eliminating BUSY_RX,
  BUSY_TX, and FORCE_TRX_OFF from the PHY
  enumerations.
• Resolving issues such as long association time
  for non-beacon networks, inflexible security use,
  adding support for multicast, reducing MAC
  overhead and MAC header compression
• Passed the WG by Unanimous Consent in both
  January and March

PAR for 802.15.5

• Recommend Practice for Mesh Networking in WPANs
• Scope To provide a recommended practice to
  provide the architectural framework enabling WPAN
  devices to promote interoperable, stable, and
  scaleable wireless mesh topologies and, if
  needed, to provide the amendment text to the
  current WPAN standards that is required to
  implement this recommended practice.

  clause, in the frequency range of up to 25GHz,
  for a higher data rate amendment to standard
  802.15.3.
• Passed the WG by Unanimous Consent
