This standard defines communication modes for Near Field Communication Interface and Protocol (NFCIP 1) using inductive coupled devices operating at the centre frequency of 13,56 MHz for interconnection of computer peripherals. It also defines both the Active and the Passive communication modes of Near Field Communication Interface and Protocol (NFCIP-1) to realize a communication network using Near Field Communication devices for networked products and also for consumer equipment. This standard specifies, in particular, modulation schemes, codings, transfer speeds, and frame format of the RF interface, as well as initialization schemes and conditions required for data collision control during initialization. It also defines a transport protocol including protocol activation and data exchange methods.
ISO/IEC 18092, ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 15693 specify the radio frequency signal interface, initialization, anti-collision and protocols for wireless interconnection of closely coupled devices and access to contactless integrated circuit cards operating at 13,56 MHz. This Standard specifies the communication mode selection mechanism, designed not to disturb any ongoing communication at 13,56 MHz, for devices implementing ISO/IEC 18092, ISO/IEC 14443 or ISO/IEC 15693. This Standard requires implementations to enter the selected communication mode as specified in the respective Standard. The communication mode specifications, however, are outside the scope of this Standard.
