A HomeRF packet is created by attaching a preamble to the MAC frame and inserting a 4FSK filed between the MAC frame header and the MAC frame body if the 4FSK modulation is utilized. Data whitening, modulation, and frequency-hopping schemes are very similar to those of an IEEE 802.11 FHSS system. A HomeRF transceiver needs an additional voice/telephone interface. Receiver sensitivities are more relaxed resulting in channel capacities that are higher than those in the FHSS system.
The HomeRF packet format is shown in Figure 11.12. A HomeRF packet consists of a preamble, a PSDU1 (PHY Service Data Unit 1), followed by an optional 4FSK Symbol field, and a PSDU2. The HomeRF preamble ...
