CEA CEA-60035 1998-FEB-01 RF Physcal Layer and Medum Specfcaton
This specification contains all the information necessary to facilitate the exchange of data and control information over the CEBus RF medium within a home. The document is divided into five major sections (1 - 5):
- An introduction to the RF standard.
- A general description of the RF network design.
- The specifications of RF topology and configuration rules - this section covers network components, allowed network configurations, and attachment of devices.
- A specification of the RF physical medium - this section covers frequency allocation of the medium, channelization, and environmental requirements.
- The physical layer specifications of a RF device - covers the interface to the higher ISO layers, control channel signal characteristics, data channel signal criteria, encoding, transmitter and receiver characteristics, and device failure modes.
The standard establishes a minimal set of rules for compliance. It does not rule out extended services as long as the minimum set of rules are adhered to. It is in fact the intention of the standard to permit extended services (defined by users) to coexist.
Certain aspects of the standard are defined in other documents. These documents will be referenced when relevant. In the case where a referenced standard conflicts with this document, this document will prevail.
