IEEE Standard 802.11bb is an amendment to 802.11 that uses light as the transmission mechanism, rather than radio frequencies.
Wi-Fi 802.11bf [802.11bf]
The Wi-Fi Standard 802.11bf is expected to be finalized as an IEEE standard in late 2024. This standard is notable because it will introduce “WLAN Sensing”.
Framing
Framing is a technique used to identify the beginning and end of a given data sequence sent over a communication link. This is often achieved by using special reserved characters (e.g., delimiters) or fields (e.g., a header) that are added to the data stream.
Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing [COBS]
Consistent overhead byte stuffing (COBS) is a byte stuffing algorithm that provides efficient and unambiguous packet framing regardless of the content.
System Management Bus [SMBus] [SMBus]
A single-ended simple two-wire bus for the purpose of lightweight communication. Most commonly it is found in computer motherboards for communication with the power source for ON/OFF instructions.
GMSL
Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link
Serial Peripheral Interface [SPI]
A 3- or 4-wire full-duplex serial communication bus.
Secure Digital Input/Output [SDIO]
An electronics communication bus.
Radio-Frequency Identification [RFID]
Radio-frequency identification uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information.
Messaging Queueing Telemetry Transport [MQTT]
“Publish/subscribe protocol that works on top of TCP/IP, commonly used by IoT devices, Publish/subscribe protocol that works on top of TCP/IP, commonly used by IoT devices. Every network has an MQTT broker – a server that receives information from devices and distributes information based on topic. Clients can subscribe to and publish to any n umber of topics.”
