May 2023 doc.: 15-23-0268-00-js1g Summary This document aims to discuss issues unique to Japanese Sub-1 GHz frequency regulations and existing metering systems and to discuss the concerns about the ability of existing IEEE Std 802.15.4 to support the expected metering application needs in Japan s Sub-1 GHz frequency bands and congested situation. This document provides responses to the comments received for document 15-23-0167- 00 presented in May Meeting. It analysed the CSMA gap between IEEE 802.15.4 and Japanese Standard JJ-300.10 from two aspects: protocol and performance. This document provides SUN OFDM PHY (MCS 4 and 5) simulation results in addition to 2-FSK to evaluate higher PHY rates. The results shows that suspendable CSMA/CA used in JJ-300.10 can improve packet delivery rate up to 9.5% under congested and higher offered load situations. Submission Page 2 Takenori Sumi
May 2023 doc.: 15-23-0268-00-js1g [1] Background of Japanese Utility Systems Japanese utility systems operate in Sub-1 GHz frequency band More specifically in 920 MHz band with limited frequency bandwidth Japanese electric utilities are now updating their 1st generation smart metering infrastructure New requirements are coming to light Meter reporting duty cycles are expected to decrease from 30 minutes to 5 minutes At least a 6x increase in throughput will be needed Likely need for multi-metering functionality on single radio Over-the-air (OTA) firmware/software capability are needed This means more data traffic and more channel access [1] See details at15-23-0167-00 Submission Page 3 Takenori Sumi
May 2023 doc.: 15-23-0268-00-js1g [1] Issues in Japanese Utility Systems Japanese utility systems support ECHONET protocols, which are based on a Japanese Communication Standard JJ-300.10 In Japan, Sub-1 GHz spectrum is scarce At most 2.9 MHz* is optimized for metering applications using CSMA leads to congestion and interference issues as more devices with different protocols exists in narrower bandwidth See IEEE802.19.3 for issues arising from limited spectrum availability and protocol differences among 802.15.4g and 802.11ah For IEEE Std 802.15.4 to better support utility applications in Japan, more enhancements are needed Consider improved support for JJ-300.10 Consider coexistence with more aggressive protocols such as IEEE Std 802.11 In addition, IEEE Std 802.15.4 also needs to take advantage of devices without power constraints, e.g., grid powered smart meters * See pg. 113: 920MHz-BAND TELEMETER, TELECONTROL AND DATA TRANSMISSION RADIO EQUIPMENT ARIB STANDARD [1] See details at15-23-0167-00 Submission Page 4 Takenori Sumi

May 2023 doc.: 15-23-0268-00-js1g Simulation Results Summary Packet delivery rate For light traffic load or small network size (number of nodes), JJ-300.10 and 802.15.4g have similar performance For heavier traffic load and larger network size is, JJ-300.10 outperforms 802.15.4g up to 9.5%. Packet latency JJ-300.10 incurs longer latency, due to the backoff suspension, but this has the significant benefit of much improved packet delivery rate. When network size (number of nodes) is smaller, the latency difference is smaller. However, for larger network size, JJ-300.10 increases latency twofold. Submission Page 13 Takenori Sumi

The results shows that suspendable CSMA/CA used in JJ-300.10 can improve packet delivery rate up to 9.5% under congested and higher offered load situations.
