IEEE Standard for Information Technology--Telecommunications and Information Exchange between Systems Local and Metropolitan Area Networks--Specific Requirements Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications - Amendment 6: Light Communications
Abstract: Modifications to existing physical layers (PHYs) and the medium access control layer (MAC) that enable transparent operation of IEEE 802.11 over the light in the 800 nm to 1000 nm band are specified in this amendment. This amendment specifies PHYs that provide bidirectional operations that achieve a minimum and maximum throughput of 10 Mb/s and 9.6 Gb/s, respectively, as measured at the MAC data service access point (SAP), and facilitate interoperability among solid-state light sources with different modulation bandwidths.
