PduInd stands for Protocol Data Unit Indicate. PduReq stands for the Request. Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) – Preambles, control headers, data whitening. Physical Media Dependent (PMD) – Where it actually writes to the hardware. Media Access Control (MAC) – Segmentation, fragmentation, creates data units and controls access to
the medium based on its rules.Mac Layer Management Entity (MLME) – Control interface between the application and the MAC andPHY.

PHY Source Encode/Decode – packet formation including headers, data interleaving, error detection (CRC). Channel encode/decode – bias suppression, symbol spreading/de-spreading. Encrypt/De-crypt – not used Modulate/Demodulate – convert digital data to analog format. Includes symbol filtering (data shaping),
frequency conversion, frequency filtering. Frequency Spreading/De-spreading – not usedTransmit/Receive – transition the signal to/from the channel.

Protocol choices
• Rx always on, Sensor shortest Tx on-time: • 20 ms pre amble• monitoring, alarm etc
• Rx duty cycling, Tx uses longer pre-amble: • 200 ms • battery master, switch, RKE
• Master Beacon, slave Rx duty cycling, network keeps synchronised:
• 2 ms • networks
