IEEE Draft Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks Part 15.4: Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs) Amendment: Active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) System Physical Layer (PHY)

Amendment to IEEE Standard P802.15.4-2011. This amendment provides two PHYs (MSK and LRP UWB) that can be used in a wide range of applications requiring various combinations of low cost, low energy consumption, multi-year battery life, reliable communications, precision location and reader options. This PHY standard supports the performance and flexibility needed for future mass deployments of highly populated autonomous Active RFID Systems anywhere in the world.
