CEA CEA-600.31 Document Information:
Title
Power Line Physical Layer and Medium Specification
Consumer Electronics Association
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 1998
Scope:
This specification contains all the information necessary to
facilitate the exchange of data and control information over the
power line medium within a home. The document is divided into six
sections (1 - 6):
- An introduction to the PL standard.
- A general description of the PL network that is likely to
exist in residential environments.
- The specifications of the allowed topology and configuration
rules for constructing PL networks in the home.
- A specification of the PL physical medium - this section
covers frequency allocation, physical and electrical specification
of the medium, connectors, environmental requirements, and
installation considerations.
- The physical layer specification of a PL device - covers the
interface to the higher ISO layers, control channel signal
characteristics, encoding, transmitter and receiver and signal
coupling characteristics, and device failure modes.
- The Node-0 requirements for support of the PL network - covers
the Node-0 requirements for successful network operation.
The standard establishes a minimal set of rules for compliance.
It does not rule out extended services to be provided, provided the
rules are adhered to within the system. It is the intention of the
standard to permit extended services (defined by users) to
coexist.
Certain aspects of the standard are defined in other documents.
These documents will be referenced when relevant. In the case where
a referenced standard conflicts with this document, this document
will prevail.
