Data services

The data services provided by the physical layer allow the embedded MAC layer (in the case

of a MAC access point) or the external host (in the case of a PHY access point) to manage

data transfer on the power line.

Three primitives are available:

●

P_Data.Request(P_sdu): to ask the PHY layer for the transmission of data P_sdu

●

P_Data.Confirm(T_result): generated by the PHY layer as a response to a previous

P_Data.Request with the result of transmission (T_result)

●

P_Data.Indication(P_sdu): generated by the PHY layer as soon as data P_sdu coming

from the power line has been received.

Alarm services

The alarm services provided by the physical layer allow the embedded MAC layer (in the

case of a MAC access point) or the external host (in the case of a PHY access point) to

manage alarm transfer on the power line.

Three primitives are available:

●

P_Alarm.Request(): to ask the PHY layer for the transmission of an alarm

●

P_Alarm.Confirm(T_result): generated by the PHY layer as a response to a previous

P_Data.Request with the result of transmission (T_result)

●

P_Alarm.Indication(): generated by the PHY layer as soon as an alarm coming from the

power line has been received.
