TC48 - High Rate Short Range Wireless Communications Upcoming meetings 30 April 2008, teleconference on 60 GHz Activities Wireless high rate short range communication in the unlicensed 60 GHz band. In February 2008, TC48 developed the 60 GHz white paper and presentation. TC48 (formerly TC32-TG20) is developing a standard for a 60 GHz PHY and MAC for short range unlicensed communications. The standard will provide high rate Wireless Personal Area Network (including Point-to-Point) transport for both bulk data transfer and multimedia streaming. TC48 is merging multiple proposals, first presented during the 30 January 2007 to 1 February 2007 meeting into a standard for applications requiring simple and/or advanced devices. Ecma released the following message to mark the start of the 60 GHz project. TC48 is discussing issues such as single carrier vs. OFDM, MAC control protocols, directional antenna beam forming, and device discovery. The high interest of TC48 in WPAN applications was clear from the contributions and following discussions on the use of directional antennas to the dynamically form a WPAN. TC48 has defined three device types ranging from high end devices with steerable antennas to low end devices for cost effective, short range, gigabit solutions. TC48 is also considering multiple protocol adaptation layers above the MAC layer. TC48 is currently working to review and complete the draft standard that will result in the publication of the 1st edition PHY and MAC layers 60GHz Wireless Network Standard. The second edition of the UWB standards, published in December 2007, adds:
