Layer 1/2 Wireless Network Standards§ IEEE 802.11 (WLAN)
Ø Most wireless-capable residential devices operate at a frequency of 2.4 GHz under 802.11b and 802.11g or 5 GHz under 802.11a.
Ø Some home networking devices operate in both radio-band signals and fall within the 802.11n or 802.11ac standards
§ IEEE 802.15 (WPAN)Ø Working group of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) which specifies wireless personal area network (WPAN) standards
Ø Includes seven task groups Ø 802.15.1 (Bluetooth)Ø 802.15.3 (High Rate WPAN)Ø 802.15.4 (Low Rate WPAN)Ø 802.15.6 (WBAN)Ø 802.15.7 (Visible Light Communication)

The IEEE 802.15.4 technology is used for a variety of different higher layer standard e.g.:
§ ZigBee
§ Wireless Hart
§ MiWi
§ ISA100.11a
§ 6LoWPANØ IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area NetworksØ Specified by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
![Page 6: Low Power Wireless Sensor Network Technologies and Standards for the Internet of Things](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021918/5888fa831a28abcf5f8b54e1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6LoWPAN§ Open Standard networking technology specification Developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
§ Every node has its own IPv6 address
§ Originally conceived to support IEEE 802.15.4 low-power wireless networks in the 2.4-GHz band
§ Now being adapted and used over a variety of other networking media including:Ø Sub-1 GHz low-power RFØ Bluetooth Smart (BLE)Ø Power Line Control (PLC)Ø Low-power Wi-Fi
§ 6LoWPAN adaptation layer provides:Ø IPv6 packet encapsulationØ IPv6 packet fragmentation and reassemblyØ IPv6 header compressionØ Link layer packet forwarding

Sigfox
§ French M2M/IoT Network Operator and technology company
§ Uses UNB (Ultra Narrow Band) based radio technology to connect devices to global network
§ Seeking to develop an international presence with partners§ Seeks to differentiate itself as a low cost alternative to cellular and a low power solution
![Page 28: Low Power Wireless Sensor Network Technologies and Standards for the Internet of Things](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021918/5888fa831a28abcf5f8b54e1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sigfox Technology§ Uses ISM bands (license-free frequency bands)
§ Uses the most popular European ISM band on 868 MHz (as defined by ETSI and CEPT)
§ Uses ISM band 902MHz in the USA
§ Up to 140 messages per object per day
§ Payload size for each message is 12 bytes
§ European regulation governing the 868MHz band enforces a transmission duty cycle of 1%
Ø A unique device is therefore not allowed to emit more than 1% of the time each hour
Ø Since emission of a message can take up to ~6 seconds, this allows up to 6 messages per hour
§ Long range 30-50km in rural areas
§ Range reduced to between 3 and 10km in urban areas
§ Communication with buried, underground equipment possible
