5.0

IEEE 802.15.4™-2003

5.1

Overview

Before discussing the use of the MRF24J40, it may be

helpful to review the structure of a typical data frame.

Users requiring more information should refer to the

IEEE 802.15.4 Standard.

5.2

Packet Format

Normal IEEE 802.15.4 compliant packets are between 5

and 127 bytes long. They are made up of several possi-

ble fields: destination address information, source

address information, a length field, data payload and a

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). Additionally, a 4-byte

preamble field and Start-of-Frame Delimiter (SFD) byte

are appended to the beginning of the packet. Thus, traffic

seen on the air will appear as shown in Figure 5-1.
