Physical (PHY) and media access control (MAC) layers of the medium frequency band (less than 12 MHz) broadband power line communication technology for smart grid applications (SGPLC) based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are specified in this standard. The necessary security requirements that assure communication privacy and allow use for mission critical and security sensitive services and applications are addressed in this standard. The coexistence with other technologies based on IEEE Std 1901™-2010 also are addressed. The approach that is geared towards achieving an extended communication range with medium speeds in comparison with the existing power line communication technologies operating in similar frequency bands is defined in this standard.

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
P1901.3
Standard for Medium Frequency (less than 12 MHz) Power Line Communications (PLC) with a Hybrid PLC/Radio Frequency Physical Layer (PHY)
This standard specifies Data Link layer for a hybrid Physical Layer (PHY) comprised of the PHY for Power Line Communications (PLC) as defined in the IEEE Std 1901.1-2018 standard and a PHY for Radio Frequency (RF) communication technology based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This standard is applicable for smart grid, Photovoltaic Energy System, Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications, Smart Home/Building and other data distribution applications. This standard defines an interface to the PHY layers and a mechanism to switch data traffic between PLC and RF PHYs. The standard addresses the necessary security requirements that enable the use of this technology for mission critical and security sensitive services and applications.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
1901.1.1-2020
IEEE Standard Test Procedures for IEEE Std 1901.1(TM) for Medium Frequency (less than 15 MHz) Power Line Communications for Smart Grid Applications
The interoperability and compliance testing for IEEE 1901.1 products built, in which physical (PHY) and media access control (MAC) layers of the medium frequency band (less than 12 MHz) broadband power line communication technology for smart grid applications (SGPLC) based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), is specified in this standard. The corresponding PLC application scenarios and test environment are introduced, and the PHY/MAC test cases and test scenarios are provided. The procedures for compliance, interoperability, and certification of IEEE Std 1901.1(TM) are specified in this standard.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
