Full Description

Scope

This standard defines the physical layer (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) sublayer specifications for low-data-rate wireless connectivity with fixed, portable, and moving devices with no battery or very limited battery consumption requirements. In addition, the standard provides modes that allow for precision ranging. Physical layers (PHYs) are defined for devices operating in various license-free bands in a variety of geographic regions

Purpose

The standard provides for ultra low complexity, ultra low cost, ultra low power consumption, and low data rate wireless connectivity among inexpensive devices. In addition, one of the alternate PHYs provides precision ranging capability that is accurate to 1 m. Multiple PHYs are defined to support a variety of frequency bands.

Abstract

Amendment Standard - Active.This amendment defines a physical layer for IEEE Std 802.15.4(TM)-2015, capable of supporting 2 Mb/s data rates, utilizing the 2400-2483.5 MHz band, having backwards-compatibility to, and the same occupied bandwidth as, the present 2450 MHz O-QPSK physical layer, and capable of simple implementation. Target range should be at least 10 meters. This amendment defines modifications to the medium access control (MAC) sublayer needed to support this new physical layer.
