Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) specifications for higher-speed wireless local area networks (WLAN) operating in the 2.4 GHz band (2.4GHz–2.4835 GHz). It applies to wireless LAN equipment utilizing High-Rate Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (HR/DSSS) technology, including devices supporting data rates of 5.5 Mbit/s and 11 Mbit/s. It is mandatory for all manufacturers producing 2.4 GHz WLAN equipment for the Chinese market. It does not apply to infrared or frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) physical layers, except for specific interoperability options defined within.
Technical requirements
The standard defines the HR/DSSS PHY specifications, building upon the base GB 15629.11 standard. It introduces higher data rates using Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation for 5.5 Mbit/s and 11 Mbit/s transmissions, alongside the existing 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s rates. The standard specifies the Physical Layer Convergence Procedure (PLCP) sublayer, defining both mandatory long preamble/header formats and optional short preamble/header formats to optimize network throughput. Manufacturers must ensure their devices support the mandatory long preamble for interoperability with legacy DSSS systems. It details the Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayer requirements, including operating frequency channels, modulation schemes, and transmit power levels. The standard also defines an optional Packet Binary Convolutional Coding (PBCC) mode as an alternative modulation scheme. Devices implementing optional features like short preambles or PBCC must clearly declare these capabilities in their Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS). Furthermore, the standard outlines specific regulatory requirements for the Chinese market, including maximum transmit power limits and spurious emission limits. It defines Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) mechanisms to ensure coexistence with other systems and specifies receiver performance requirements such as minimum input sensitivity and adjacent channel rejection.
Testing methods
Compliance testing involves evaluating the PLCP and PMD sublayers. Key tests include Transmit Spectrum Mask measurement to ensure out-of-band emissions are within limits, Transmit Modulation Accuracy assessment using vector error magnitude analysis, and Transmit Center Frequency Tolerance verification. Receiver performance is tested through Minimum Input Level Sensitivity (FER must be less than 8×10⁻² at -76 dBm for 11 Mbit/s CCK) and Adjacent Channel Rejection testing. CCA functionality is also verified to ensure proper channel sensing.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 15629.1102-2003?
