Communications

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has developed a wide range of communication standards that are widely used in the industry. These standards cover various aspects of communication technologies, including wireless communication, networking, and more.

List of IEEE Communication Standards are:

1. IEEE 802 Series (Networking and LAN/MAN Standards)
  • IEEE 802.1: Bridging and Network Management (e.g., VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol).
  • IEEE 802.2: Logical Link Control (LLC).
  • IEEE 802.3: Ethernet, including various Ethernet standards like 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, 10GBASE-T, etc.
  • IEEE 802.11: Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) standards, including 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax (Wi-Fi 6).
  • IEEE 802.15: Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) standards, including Bluetooth (802.15.1) and Zigbee (802.15.4).
  • IEEE 802.16: Broadband Wireless Access standards, also known as WiMAX.
  • IEEE 802.17: Resilient Packet Ring (RPR).
  • IEEE 802.22: Wireless Regional Area Network (WRAN), designed for rural areas using TV white spaces.

  • A series of standards providing guidelines for smart grid communications.
6. IEEE 802.1X (Port-Based Network Access Control)
  • Provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to connect to a LAN or WLAN.
7. IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG)
  • A standard for testing and debugging integrated circuits, often used in communication devices.
8. IEEE 1471 (Software Architecture for Network-Based Applications)
  • Standards related to software and system architectures for network-based applications.
9. IEEE 1232 (Artificial Intelligence Exchange and Service Tie to All Test Environments)
  • Standards related to the communication of diagnostic information in AI and machine learning systems.
