characteristics required of 802.15.3 applications.
High Rate WPANs are labelled as 802.15 as per the IEEE standards. The IEEE 802.15.3c is only defined in the wireless High definition specification. This means that it is an extremely complex standard. For this standard, the PHY layer is the one responsible for the conversion of data bits into modulated RF signals which are then transmitted using electromagnetic waves (Olenewa, 2013). The following are some of the characteristics required for the 802.15.3 applications;
- Passive scanning – wireless approach to detect vulnerability
- Channel energy detection- this is the process of detecting the receiving mode and signal energy level before transmission.
- Ability to request channel quality information
- Link quality and received signal strength indication
- Transmit power control
- Neighbour and child piconet capability
- two modes of superframe transmission
- Maximum data frame length of 8,388,608 octets.
(Olenewa, 2013)
The High Rate WPANs are essential in the transmission of digital format media.
The IEEE 802.15.5 standard is used for mesh networking. In this standard, each device is connected to all devices within its range, thus creating multiple transmission paths effectively (Olenewa, 2013). This functionality of this standard is comparatively similar to that of the Bluetooth. Bluetooth enabled devices can connect to various devices as long as they are discoverable and within the range. However, security protocols will be present for such types of standards to promote privacy and protect private information. Mesh networking can be beneficial as a mode of data transmission in an office or home since it can cover a whole building (Olenewa, 2013). It is always significant to consider these features before deciding on the right standards to use for data transmission and communication.
