Full Description
Scope
Insert the following new paragraph at the end of 1.2:In addition, alternative physical layers (PHYs) for data communication devices with precision ranging,extended range, and enhanced robustness and mobility are specified.
Purpose
Insert the following new paragraph at the end of 1.3:This standard also provides an international standard for an ultra-low complexity, ultra-low cost, ultra-lowpower consumption alternate PHY for IEEE Std 802.15.4(TM) (comparable to the goals for IEEE Std 802.15.4-2003). To satisfy an evolutionary set of industrial and consumer requirements for wireless personal areanetwork (WPAN) communications, the precision ranging capability will be accurate to one meter or better,and the communication range, robustness, and mobility improved over IEEE Std 802.15.4-2003. Therequirements to support coexisting networks of sensors, controllers, and logistic and peripheral devices inmultiple compliant co-located systems are addressed.
Abstract
Amendment Standard - Superseded.This standard defines the protocol and compatible interconnection for datacommunication devices using low-data-rate, low-power and low-complexity, short-range radiofrequency (RF) transmissions in a wireless personal area network (WPAN).
