Full title and description

BS ISO/IEC 4005-2:2023 — Telecommunications and information exchange between systems — Unmanned aircraft area network (UAAN) — Part 2: Physical and data link protocols for shared communication. This document specifies the physical‑layer and data‑link protocols used for shared wireless communication among units related to unmanned aircraft (UA) in level II networks, covering frame structure, encoding, channel/slot management, resource allocation, synchronization, security and coexistence operations.

Abstract

This part of the UAAN standard describes the communication protocols for the physical and data link layers of shared communication (a wireless distributed network for UA‑related units). It covers physical‑layer frame structure and encoding, physical‑layer procedures and coexistence operations, and data‑link functions such as channel and slot definitions, resource management, broadcast/exchange of data, synchronization, security and interfaces to upper layers.

General information

• Publication date: Original ISO edition published March 22, 2023; British adoption published 27 March 2023.
• Publisher: ISO (original international standard); BSI as the British national adoption (BS ISO/IEC 4005-2:2023).
• ICS / categories: 49.020, 35.100.10, 35.100.20 (telecommunications; aircraft/space vehicle systems).

• Number of pages: ISO edition: 65 pages; BS national publication copies sometimes list 76 pages (BS packaging includes national foreword/annex).

Scope

The standard defines the physical‑layer and data‑link protocols for shared UAAN communications in level II networks. It specifies frame formats, encoding schemes, physical procedures and coexistence rules at the PHY layer, and channel/slot structures, resource management, broadcast/exchange mechanisms, synchronization, security measures and interfaces to higher layers at the data‑link layer. The scope is focused on shared (many‑to‑many) wireless communication among UA‑related units rather than point‑to‑point control or video links (which are covered in other parts of the 4005 series).

Key topics and requirements

• Physical‑layer frame structure and encoding procedures (format, timing and modulation/encoding expectations).
• Physical‑layer procedures including coexistence and interference‑avoidance operations.
• Data‑link channel and slot definitions for shared communication.
• Resource management and allocation mechanisms to enable distributed access.
• Broadcast and peer‑to‑peer data exchange methods and message structures.
• Synchronization, timing and scheduling rules for multi‑unit coordination.
• Security requirements for link protection, authentication and secure interfaces to upper layers.
• Interfaces and interoperability expectations with upper layers and with other parts of the 4005 UAAN family.

Typical use and users

Primary users are UAV/UA system designers and integrators, telecom and wireless engineers implementing UAAN radios and protocol stacks, interoperability and test laboratories, regulatory bodies and national standards adopters, and standards developers working on unmanned‑aircraft communications. The standard is used to design, test and certify PHY and MAC/data‑link behaviour for shared UAAN services.

Related standards

This document is part of the ISO/IEC 4005 series for Unmanned Aircraft Area Network (UAAN). Relevant parts include: Part 1 — Communication model and requirements (ISO/IEC 4005-1:2023); Part 3 — Physical and data link protocols for control communication (ISO/IEC 4005-3:2023); Part 4 — Physical and data link protocols for video communication (ISO/IEC 4005-4:2023). These companion parts specify other communication types (control, video) and the overall model for UAAN.
