IEEE 802.15.4t-2017 PDF
This amendment defines a physical layer for IEEE Std. 802.15.4 current revision, 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 m. This amendment defines modifications to the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer needed to support this new physical layer.
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.
Amendment Standard – Superseded. 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.
