Dependable Wireless M2M Network• Dependability in network” means to guarantee lowest performance enough

high in a sense of highly reliable, safe, secure, fault tolerant, robust services in any predictable and even unpredictable worse environments

• Demand for Dependable Networks– Need for Highly Reliable, Robust Communications for Controlling– Transition from Human centric communications to Machine-to-Machine (M2M)

communications.– Highly reliable, safe, secure and robust communications for M2M Controlling is

necessary– Integrated wired & wireless networks provide dependable, green and ecological

networks adaptable for environment.

• Emotion and Sustainability– Medicine, Robot, ITS, Energy Supply, and Manufacturing require more

dependability in controlling network, integrated circuit, link in micro devices.– Medical equipment and industrial products need long life time, fault tolerance.– Dependable Network Architecture for M2M controlling.

SC WNG Actions

• Straw Poll: How many companies have an interest on this activity? Count was 31

• Do we establish an interest group or a study group within 802.15 to discuss it? Support for IG was 18 with 5 for study group

• Given the interest and the expected participation an interest group will be formed at the closing plenary if an IG chair can be named (perhaps Dr. Kohno?)
