2.3.1
IEEE 802.15.4 PHY layer
The PHY layer manages the physical RF transceiver. It is also in charge of the following
tasks:
●
Activating and deactivating of the radio transceiver
●
Energy detection for the current channel
●
Indicating link quality for the received packets
●
CCA for the CSMA-CA
●
Selecting channel frequency
●
Data transmission and reception
The standard specifies two PHY layers:
●
868/915 MHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) PHY
–
–
●
2 450 MHz DSSS PHY supporting sixteen 250 Kbps channels in the 2.4 GHz band

IEEE 802.15.4 PHY CCA
The following CCA modes are supported:
●
CCA mode 1: energy above threshold (lowest)
●
CCA mode 2: carrier sense (medium)
●
CCA mode 3: carrier sense with energy above threshold (strongest)
One 20 Kbps channel in the European 868 MHz band
Ten 40 Kbps channels in the 915 MHz ISM band (from 902 to 928 MHz)
