IEEE 802.15 Working group intends to define a standard that enable a low cost and low power communications. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard defines physical layers (PHY) and a Medium Access Control (MAC) which intend to address many simple network application space as Internet of Things solutions.
Two different kind of devices participate to IEEE 802.15.4 network:
Full Function Devices which may ensure the role of Personal Area Network (PAN) coordinator and
Reduced Function Device (RFD) which serve as Node for extremely simple application.
The provided 802.15.4 MAC API is integrated as shown on the figure below:
The MAC 802.15.4 from STM32_WPAN middleware makes the link between the network layers and the RF protocol processor.
MAC API is based on latest official IEEE Std 802.15.4-2011 document available from :
