Purpose
The standard
provides for ultra low complexity, ultra low cost, ultra low power
consumption, and low data rate wireless connectivity among inexpensive
devices, especially targeting the communications requirements of what in now
commonly referred to as the Internet of Things. In addition, some of the
alternate PHYs provide precision ranging capability that is accurate to one
meter. Multiple PHYs are defined to support a variety of frequency
bands.
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. PHYs are defined for devices operating in various
license-exempt and other bands in a variety of geographic
regions.
Need
There are a
number errors, inconsistencies, and ambiguities in need of correction.
