IEEE Std 802.15.4f-2012
(Amendment to IEEE Std 802.15.4-2011)

IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks—
Part 15.4: Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs)
Amendment 2: Active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) System Physical Layer (PHY)

Approved 6 February 2012

Abstract: 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, multiyear 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.
