5. What is Certified Wireless USB?!
• Does what you think it does—allows USB connectivity,
wirelessly!
• More than 100 certified devices; mostly silicon, but
numerous hub & dongle sets, laptops, docking stations,
and other device categories!
• Top speed of 480 mb/s; uses 528 MHz channels in the
3.1-10.6 GHz bands!
• Based on an ultra-wideband specification originally
published by WiMedia Alliance!

6. What is Ultra-wideband?!
• Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a wireless
transmission technique approved for
unlicensed use in 2002 under FCC Part 15 !
• As defined by the FCC and ITU, UWB is a
transmission whose bandwidth is either!
– 20% of its center frequency!
– At least 500 MHz wide!

8. How is Ultra-wideband?!
• Good news!
– Wicked amounts of bandwidth!
– Security baked in from the start!
– Second generation products now shipping!
• Bad news!
Horrible restrictions on emitted power!
–
First generation products kind of sucked!
–
Still too pricey compared to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth!
–
Industry alliance has shuttered, leaving further
–
development in doubt!

9. Wireless USB Security!
• Initial setup is called “association”!
– Cable model mandates a first connection via cable; once
associated, devices can communicate wirelessly!
– Numeric model mandates comparison of codes displayed
on both devices, or manual entry of a displayed code
(similar to Bluetooth)!
• Well-designed security architecture!
Mutual authentication!
–
4-way handshake!
–
Pairwise temporal key (PTK)!
–
Group temporal key (GTK)!
–
• Data privacy uses CCM—Counter with CBC-MAC!
• Integrity is a 64-bit MIC for entire packet!

10. Wireless USB’s Future!
• Should you care?!
• Yes and no!
• While possible to have CW-USB products go through
FIPS (due to CCM-based architecture), it’s unlikely!
• Disbanding of WiMedia Alliance, and assignment of
core intellectual property to USB-IF and Bluetooth SIG
make further concerted development unlikely!
• HOWEVER, head-in-sand approach to CW-USB would
risk a repeat of other agencies’ hiccups with policies on
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other technologies!
– USN/USMC has typically led the way on wireless policy!
– Today, CW-USB looks like a dying technology, based on
high prices, low throughput rates, and significant
competition!
– Pundits once claimed Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet to be
dead technologies, too!

11. Bluetooth 3.0 + HS!
• Adopted in April 2009!
• Includes 802.11 protocol adaptation layer as an
Alternate MAC/PHY (AMP)!
– Wi-Fi Alliance performed an enormous amount of work to
win inclusion in Bluetooth 3.0!
– WiMedia UWB was originally the AMP for 3.0, and could
still see the light of day!
• Supports data transfer speeds up to 24 mb/s!
• Products expected in early 2010!

12. Cliffside!
• Cliffside was the code name for Intel’s My WiFi
technology!
• Uses “split-MAC” technology to enable simultaneous
infrastructure (connection to AP for backhaul) and peer-
to-peer (PAN) modes!
• Enables connection of up to eight devices without an AP
or router!
• Provides 802.11i support on both AP and PAN links!
• Has the potential to be very interesting!
• Much more on Cliffside at http://tinyurl.com/coopcliff!

13. SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0)!
• 10x performance of USB 2.0 (4.8 gb/s versus 480 mb/s)
—key for flash-based products!
• Provides backwards…!
– Performance compatibility with 2.0 devices (at 2.0 speeds)!
– Connectivity capability, both electrically and physically!
– Driver support—things just work!
• Cables and connectors!
– Standard A cables backwards compatible with 2.0!
– New B and Micro AB receptacles backwards compatible
with 2.0!
Better power efficiency than 2.0!
•
Devices beginning to arrive!
•
Requires separate software drivers currently!
•
OS integration to appear in follow-on to Windows 7
•
launch!

14. Wireless video approach based on 20 and 40 MHz channels in
•
the unlicensed 5 GHz band!
Promoter members include Amimon, Hitachi, LG, Motorola,
•
Samsung, Sharp, Sony!
Claims!
•
30 meter range!
–
Through-wall operation!
–
<1 ms latency!
–
“No compression”!
–
Link security addressed via use of HDCP!
•
Best known product at this point is Sony’s wireless video
•
extender!
Concern that as more 802.11n high-band (5 GHz) devices
•
enter homes, performance will suffer!
Amimon began shipping pre-standard chipsets in April, 2008;
•
standard (interoperable) products expected imminently!

15. • Wireless video approach based on 2.5 GHz channels in
the 60 GHz band!
• Promoter members include Broadcom, Intel, LG,
Panasonic, Philips, NEC, Samsung, SiBEAM, Sony,
Toshiba!
• Claims!
10 meter range!
–
In-room operation!
–
<1 ms latency!
–
No compression!
–
• Link security addressed via use of HDCP!
• Few interference concerns!
• SiBEAM began shipping pre-standard chipsets in fall,
2008; standard (interoperable) products expected
imminently!

16. Wireless video and data networking approach based on 60
•
GHz transmission !
Board members include Atheros, Broadcom, Dell, Intel, LG,
•
Marvell, MediaTek, Microsoft, NEC, Nokia, Panasonic,
Samsung, Wilocity!
Claims!
•
Initial specifications to become available in late 2009!
–
Connectivity of up to 6 gb/s!
–
Will address not just wireless video, but mobile and CE devices!
–
Envision a dual-mode architecture, with Wi-Fi capabilities at 2.4/5
–
GHz and WiGig capabilities at 60 GHz!
Link security will need to be addressed via use of HDCP for
•
video; likely to use variant of WPS/802.11i!
If specifications arrive in early 2010, and C&I is defined later
•
in 2010, the market might see products by CES 2011!
Might!
