Wireless USB –
Technical Overview
• Similarities to wired USB
• Host – device topology
• Up to 127 devices per host
• Class driver protocol
maintained
• Keep complexity in host to
make devices cheap
• Bandwidth
• 480 Mbps @ ~3M
• 110 Mbps @ ~10M
• Scalable architecture (up to
1Gbps and beyond)
• Power Management
• Battery preservation very
important

Wireless USB Over
UWB – Vision
• Early development to support emerging
technology
• Reuse existing class drivers unchanged
(except possibly USB ISOC)
• Minimal changes to existing USB and IP
core stack
• Focus on Ease of use (simple association
models) and high security
• Reduce number of drivers MS has to
write/maintain
18
IP Over UWB – Vision
• High Speed Peer Networking
• Ad-hoc (Proximity Meeting Scenarios)
• File Sharing
• IP Connected Devices

What’s Happening in 2006+
• CY06H1
• Prototypes for IP and WUSB on same silicon
• Compliance/Interop testing labs kick into gear
• CY06H2
• High-volume UWB products around holiday season 2006
• Windows codenamed “Longhorn” planned for customers
• Throughout this period, plenty of opportunity to:
• Attend industry training events
(e.g. Wireless USB Developers Conference in US and Asia)
• Participate in prototype testing before (un)plugfests start
20
Summary
• Microsoft committed to providing beta
drivers to early IHVs for validation
purposes
• Share your product plans and prototype
devices with Microsoft to build a solid
Go-To-Market plan!
