explained Paul Nikolich, IEEE 802<br />
LAN/MAN standards committee<br />
chair and chief strategy officer at YAS<br />
Broadband Ventures.<br />
This technology is fast enough to<br />
provide the consumer-electronics<br />
market with effective options for wirelessly<br />
connecting high-performance<br />
elements of home-entertainment<br />
systems, such as a high-definition TV<br />
and a set-top box, Heile noted.<br />
He said IEEE 802.15.3c-2009 could<br />
also provide connections in other set-<br />
tings, such as body-area networks for<br />
medical applications.<br />
In addition, the standard’s high<br />
data rates and ability to provide<br />
guaranteed time slots for designated<br />
transmissions support applications,<br />
such as high-end video, that require<br />
quality of service.<br />
Like other radio-based technologies,<br />
IEEE 802.15.3c-2009 is<br />
implemented via a chip that includes<br />
a transmitter, receiver, and antenna.<br />
Heile said the system can identify<br />
lost packets and get replacements to<br />
the destination fast enough to preserve<br />
packet order with minimal<br />
delay. Thus, he noted, it can coexist<br />
with interference from other technologies<br />
operating in the 60-GHz band.<br />
If successful, the new technology<br />
could provide an improved way to<br />
play video and other types of multimedia<br />
via wireless technologies,<br />
said Filomena Berardi, Connectivity<br />
Group research analyst with IMS<br />
Research.<br />
IEEE SOFTWARE<br />
offers pioneering ideas,<br />
expert analyses, and<br />
thoughtful insights for<br />
software professionals<br />
who need to keep up<br />
with rapid technology<br />
change. It’s the authority<br />
on translating software<br />
theory into practice.<br />
