IEEE 1528.7-2020 PDF
This guide provides references to the appropriate methodology for classifying Internet of Things (IoT) devices based on radio frequency (RF) exposure characteristics. The use and operating modes for a wide variety of devices are considered by grouping them into several deployments and following an appropriate assessment route. Classification of devices is based on frequency, bandwidth, radiated power, and typical installation configuration. The methodology applies to both the short-range (from less than 1 m to 1 km) and long-range (greater than 1 km) technologies that operate from 0 Hz up to 300 GHz frequency range. The available standards and documents applicable for the compliance assessment of IoT technologies/solutions are identified in this guide. Links between device class and available measurement/computational standards are provided. Included within this document is guidance for exclusion classes, exposure assessments, and solutions to address situations where guidance is unavailable. This guide does not specify measurement and computational methods to assess the exposure of IoT devices, even in the cases there are no appropriate assessment methods. Instead, this guide indicates gaps in available assessment methods, but is not intended to establish the assessment methodology
New IEEE Standard – Active. In the wireless communication field, 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions are the main emerging technologies and future wireless communication will rely on them. A methodology for classifying IoT devices based on radio frequency (RF) exposure characteristics is provided. Classification is based on frequency, bandwidth, radiated power, and typical installation configuration. Links between device class and available measurement/computational standards are provided. A framework criterion for exclusion classes for exposure assessment and criteria for addressing situations where exposure assessment is unavailable are included.
