Huawei IoT Gateway Zigbee physical layer technology adopts the following () standards?

Full set: 176 questions
Answer options
A: IEC104
B: IEEE 802.15.4 . Correct answer
C: IEC103
D: IEEE 802.15.1
Correct Answer:
B. IEEE 802.15.4 .
Explanation

The Zigbee protocol stack is fundamentally based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. This standard defines the specifications for the physical layer (PHY) and the media access control (MAC) layer for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs). Huawei's IoT gateways that support Zigbee connectivity adhere to this foundational standard to ensure interoperability and proper network function. The PHY layer handles the raw bit transmission over the radio, operating in unlicensed ISM bands like 2.4 GHz.

Why Incorrect

A. IEC104: This is a network access protocol for telecontrol applications, primarily used in electrical engineering and power system automation, not a wireless physical layer.
C. IEC103: This is a standard for the protection equipment interface, used for communication between protection relays and control systems in substations.
D. IEEE 802.15.1: This standard defines the physical and MAC layers for Bluetooth technology, which is a different short-range communication protocol from Zigbee.
