P802.15.4 - IEEE Approved Draft Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks - Part 15.4: Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs)
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 typically operating in the personal operating space (POS) of 10 m. Physical layers (PHYs) are defined for - devices operating in the license free 868-868.6 MHz, 902-928 MHz and 2400-2483.5 MHz bands, - devices with precision ranging, extended range, and enhanced robustness and mobility, - devices operating according to the Chinese regulations, Radio Management of P. R. of China doc. #6326360786867187500 or current document, for one or more of the 314-316 MHz, 430-434 MHz, and 779-787 MHz frequency bands, and - devices operating in the 950 MHz -956 MHz allocation in Japan and coexisting with passive tag systems in the band.
