CSA ISO/IEC 24730-5:14 (R2024)

CSA Preface

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as “CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 24730-5” throughout.

At the time of publication, ISO/IEC 24730-5:14 is available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA Group will publish the French version when it becomes available from ISO and IEC.

This International Standard was reviewed by the TCIT under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Information Technology and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. From time to time, ISO/IEC may publish addenda, corrigenda, etc. The TCIT will review these documents for approval and publication. For a listing, refer to the Current Standards Activities page at standardsactivities.csagroup.org. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope

ISO/IEC 24730 defines air interface protocols and an application programming interface (API) for real-time locating systems (RTLS). This part of ISO/IEC 24730 defines an air interface protocol which utilizes chirp spread spectrum (CSS) at frequencies from 2,4 GHz to 2,483 GHz. This protocol supports bidirectional communication and two-way ranging between the readers and tags of an RTLS. The mandatory default mode ensures interoperability between tags and infrastructure from various manufacturers, while the availability of several options offers flexibility to the developer of the infrastructure to adapt the behaviour of the overall system to the specific needs of his application.
