Scope/Purpose of R2SG
• Provide a formal vehicle within IEEE
802.15 to track the activities of the
Bluetooth™ SIG Radio2 Working Group
(and related activities) and recommend
appropriate action to 802.

Bluetooth Radio 2 and IEEE
802.15.3
• BSIG's Position:
– The BSIG's concern is fragmentation of the WPAN
market
– Main issue in the relationship between BSIG and IEEE:
• The two organisations have different IP rules and
fundamentally different decision making philosophies. This
makes it difficult for the two organizations to work together on
a single spec.
– Even if the BSIG and TG3 started from the same
proposal and developed specs in parallel, there is no
guarantee that the two resulting specs would be
compatible.

Bluetooth Radio 2 and IEEE
802.15.3 (cont.)
• BSIG Proposal #1:
– TG3 to follow the same relationship model as TG1,
where one organization follows the other. This would
guarantee that we end up with compatible specs. It is
the BSIG's preferred solution.
• BSIG Proposal #2:
– TG3 to develop a radio solution which is highly
differentiated (e.g.> 40Mbit/sec data rate) from the
BSIG's Radio 2 specification.

Bluetooth Radio 2 and IEEE
802.15.3 (cont.)
• However:
– For the BSIG to adopt such a specification, all
contributors would have to sign an Open IP agreement.
– If backward compliant with BT 1.0, IEEE's 802.15.3
must avoid overlapping the BT 1.0 spec, or an IEEE
802.15.3 product would not pass BT qualification.
– If IEEE 802.15.3 is not backward compliant with BT
1.0, it would fragment the WPAN market, as there
would be two incompatible WPAN specifications with
little end-user differentiation.

Status of Radio2 Study Group
• Group must re-authorize at the November meeting
in Tampa.
Recommendation: do not re-authorize
• Reasoning:
– MAC for TG3 is not based on Bluetooth™ Wireless
Technology
– No more information on Bluetooth Radio2 is
forthcoming in the near future
– When information is available from BSIG, this group
can reconstitute

Future R2SG Reincarnation
• Other possible purposes in the future:
– 2.0 Specification/Radio2 could be a supplement
to 802.15.1a
– 2.0 Specification/Radio2 may become available
to the IEEE in 2001 as another derivative work
product or something else
