IEEE P1901

Die Annotation des Normtextes IEEE P1901 :

Revision Standard - Active - Draft.

The Physical (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC) layers for broadband communications are specified in this standard, supporting applications such as local area networks (LANs), Smart Energy, Smart Grid, Internet of Things (IoT), transportation platforms (vehicle), and other data distribution applications. A flexible channel wavelet (FCW) and extended FCW PHY/MAC technology is specified to enable adaptation to different frequency bands and to support communication over various transmission media, including but not limited to, power lines (ac or dc), coaxial cables, signal cables, optical fiber, light (visible, infrared), and radio waves. FCW and extended FCW communication channels in low-frequency bands are defined to extend communication range and improve robustness. Support for network synchronization and enhanced network functionality through the IEEE Std 1588™ Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is specified. State-of-the-art security mechanisms are integrated, including authentication and authorization capabilities suitable for IoT and access devices. The use of IEEE Std 802.1X™ within IEEE Std 1901™ networks is specified to provide secure access control and to protect the privacy and integrity of communications, thereby enabling the use of the technology for security-sensitive services. Mechanisms for coexistence and interoperability between different Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) devices are specified, ensuring efficient use of the power line channel and the provision of required communication bandwidth and quality of service.
