ISO 15118-8:2020(E)

Introduction
The pending energy crisis and necessity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has led the vehicle
manufacturers to a very significant effort to reduce the energy consumption of their vehicles. They
are presently developing vehicles partly or completely propelled by electric energy. Those vehicles will
reduce the dependency on oil, improve the global energy efficiency and reduce the total CO emissions
2
for road transportation if the electricity is produced from renewable sources. To charge the batteries of
such vehicles, a specific charging infrastructure is required.
Much of the standardization work on dimensional and electrical specifications of the charging
infrastructure and the vehicle interface is already treated in the relevant ISO or IEC groups. However,
the question of information transfer between the EV and the EVSE has not been treated sufficiently.
Such communication is necessary for the optimization of energy resources and energy production
systems so that vehicles can recharge in the most economic or most energy efficient way. It is also
required to develop efficient and convenient billing systems in order to cover the resulting micro-
payments. The necessary communication channel may serve in the future to contribute to the
stabilization of the electrical grid, as well as to support additional information services required to
operate electric vehicles efficiently and economically.
In ISO 15118-3, the messages exchanged between the vehicle and the infrastructure are transported
by the cable used for power transfer. With the inception of wireless power transfer technologies and
the tremendous development of wireless communication in our societies, the need for a wireless
communication between vehicle and charging infrastructure becomes imperative. This is the main
focus of this document. The relevant information on use-case definitions and network and application
protocol requirements can be found in ISO 15118-1 and ISO 15118-2, respectively.

Figure 1 — Overview of ISO 15118-1, ISO 15118-2, and this document in the
ISO/IEC OSI reference model
This document defines requirements applicable to layer 1 and 2, including the V2G standardized service
primitive interface for wireless communication, according to the OSI layered architecture. Layers 3 to 7
are specified in ISO 15118-2.
This document covers both conductive charging and WPT use-cases using wireless communication. If
not defined differently, requirements apply for both conductive charging and WPT.
7 Wireless communication requirements
7.1 Overview
This clause gives requirements for the wireless communication module on both the EVCC and the SECC
side. EVCC and SECC make use of wireless local area network (WLAN) as specified in IEEE 802.11-
2012 for wireless communication. More specifically, they implement the feature set of an HT STA or
HT AP (which were originally specified in IEEE 802.11n-2009 and are thus commonly referred to as
IEEE 802.11n), and operate in the 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO 15118-8:2020(E)

These frequency bands are ISM and U-NII bands where both other wireless communication technologies
®1) ®2)
(e.g. Bluetooth , ZigBee , baby phone), and non-communication systems (e.g. microwave ovens,
radar systems) can cause interference with the WLAN communication channels. Therefore, the
requirements in this document are designed in a way where not only system interoperability is ensured,
but also the communication robustness is hardened. In addition, manufacturers and operators need to
make sure that the system is configured for robustness. For example, particular care has to be given to
selecting an appropriate operating channel to avoid the above-mentioned interference.
This document covers various use-cases in relationship to wireless communication for conductive
charging and WPT, considering different range requirements for the communication channel.
— Discovery: the EVCC has entered the communication range of the SECC(s), then associates to an
appropriate SECC to start HLC for further steps (typically 5 m to 30 m range).
— Fine positioning: alignment of the primary and secondary devices for efficient power transfer in
case of WPT and alignment of the connectors of EV and EVSE for power transfer in case of automatic
connection for conductive charging (typically 10 cm to 5 m range).
— Charging control: for example, power request from vehicle to EVSE (typically 5 cm to 5 m range).
Use-case details are given in ISO 15118-1.
The distance between EVCC and SECC for charging control depends on the installation location of
the wireless communication modules and antennae. This is out of scope of this document and vendor
specific. As the distance influences the reliability of the communication link, manufacturers are
encouraged to pay particular attention to the choice of mounting location. Additional parameters to be
considered and some example setups are given in Annex A.
For testing and evaluating an installed system, a concept of service available area has been developed
and detailed in Annex C.
7.2 SECC requirements
7.2.1 General
The wireless communication module of the SECC shall fulfil the requirements described in this
subclause to ensure interoperability between the SECC and EVCC with adequate communication
robustness for V2G applications.
7.2.2 WLAN technology
[V2G8-001] The wireless communication module of the SECC shall use IEEE 802.11
(see IEEE 802.11-2012) compliant wireless communication technology.
[V2G8-002] The wireless communication module of the SECC shall be configured as
access point (AP) according to IEEE 802.11.
[V2G8-003] The wireless communication module of the SECC shall support the mandatory
feature set of an HT AP according to IEEE 802.11-2012 on all the channels that it
supports.
NOTE 1 An HT AP is an access point implementing the same set of features as an HT STA (see IEEE 802.11-
2012, 4.3.10).

ISO 15118-8:2020(E)

The SECC may support other variants of IEEE 802.11 technology, as long as EVCCs can always establish
connections via IEEE 802.11n. An example of such a technology is the very high throughput PHY
(see IEEE 802.11ac-2013).
[V2G8-004] The beacon period of the SECC shall not exceed T_beacon = 105 ms.
NOTE 2 The beacon period is the time between two successive transmissions of the beacon frame. It is
measured in time units (1 TU = 1 024 µs). A typical value would be T_beacon = 100 TU.
NOTE 3 T_beacon is the value of the beacon interval field as described in IEEE 802.11-2012, 8.4.1.3.
7.2.3 WLAN frequency and channel
There are two frequency bands with up to 35 channels which the SECC and EVCC can use to communicate.
The SECC is responsible for choosing the channel for operation. SECCs supporting simultaneous dual
band operation are able to offer two operating channels for EVCCs to connect, while SECCs supporting
selectable dual band operation are only able to offer a single operating channel. The SECC for wireless
communication may be responsible for one or more power outlets as described in ISO 15118-1, which
is different from the SECC using powerline communication which controls only a single power outlet as
described in ISO 15118-3. Due to the possible drastic difference in the spectral environmental conditions
among the EVCCs in the case of SECCs controlling multiple power outlets, offering two operating
channels would let the EVCCs choose the channel which is less affected by its local interferences (e.g.
from in-car infotainment system) and thus increase the communication robustness. For SECCs installed
in an uncontrolled environment where the spectrum will not be monitored professionally, e.g. typically
envisioned for WPT systems, it is also advisable to offer simultaneous dual band support.
[V2G8-005] If the SECC supports WPT, the wireless communication module of the SECC shall
support operation at both the 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands in parallel.
[V2G8-006] If the SECC controls two or more power outlets at a time, the wireless
communication module of the SECC shall support operation at both the 2,4 GHz
and 5 GHz frequency bands in parallel.
[V2G8-007] If the SECC controls only one power outlet at a time, the wireless communication
module of the SECC shall support operation at both the 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz
frequency bands, but not necessarily in parallel, unless [V2G8-005] applies.
[V2G8-008] The wireless communication module of the SECC shall support a minimum of three
channels per frequency band at the operating site among the channels listed in
Table 1 and Table 2.
NOTE 1 Depending on the location of the SECC, not all the channels listed in Table 1 and Table 2 can be allowed
to be used (see Figure 2). V2G8-027 and V2G8-008 refers to the common subset of these two groups.
NOTE 2 A collection of national regulations in usage of the U-NII band channels is listed in Annex D, Table D.1.
NOTE 3 Depending on local regulations, the implementation of DFS and/or TPC can be required. The DFS
mechanism is described in IEEE 802.11-2012, 10.9. The TPC mechanism is described in IEEE 802.11-2012, 10.8.

Figure 2 — Illustration of a subset of ISO 15118 (all parts) channels and channels allowed by

7.2.4 SECC channel scanning and selection
Since SECCs operate using unlicensed shared spectrum, the spectrum environment at the operation
site of the SECC should be taken into account when selecting the operating channel in order to improve
robustness of the communication link between the SECC and EVCC(s). The SECC may perform automatic
channel scanning and selection to choose an appropriate channel. The effectiveness of the automatic
channel selection is dependent on the channel selection algorithm, which is out of scope of this
document. Alternatively, the operator may analyse the operating environment through a spectrum site
survey and select the most suitable channel/list of channels for the SECC. These two methods are not
mutually exclusive to each other and may be used in combination depending on the needs of the SECC
operator. The requirements in this subclause are formulated as the basic requirements to ensure a good
level of confidence for smooth operation.
[V2G8-009] Channel selection of the SECC shall be done by an automatic channel scanning and
channel switching algorithm.
NOTE 1 Channel scanning refers to an SECC scanning a list of channels which it can operate in.
NOTE 2 Channel switching refers to the change of the current operating channel of the SECC to a different and
more preferred channel after channel scanning.

[V2G8-010] If a site spectrum survey for channel selection is done by the operator, automatic
channel scanning and channel switching shall be optional.
[V2G8-011] If an automatic channel scanning is implemented, the wireless communication
module of the SECC shall scan the spectrum after power-on.
[V2G8-012] If an automatic channel scanning is implemented, the wireless communication
module of the SECC shall scan the spectrum after ending the V2G communication
session, when there is no other associated EVCC.
[V2G8-013] The spectrum scan shall be started within 5 s after the last V2G communication
session is finished.
NOTE 3 The term V2G communication session is defined in ISO 15118-2.
[V2G8-014] Channel scanning and channel switching shall be done within 30 s after starting
the channel scanning.
[V2G8-015] If an automatic channel scanning is implemented, the wireless communication
module of the SECC shall scan the spectrum at least every

ISO 15118-8:2020(F)

Introduction
L’imminence de la crise énergétique et la nécessité de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre a
conduit les constructeurs de véhicules à réaliser un effort considérable pour réduire la consommation
énergétique de leurs véhicules. Ils mettent actuellement au point des véhicules partiellement ou
totalement propulsés à l’énergie électrique. Ces véhicules diminueront la dépendance au pétrole,
amélioreront le rendement énergétique mondial et réduiront les émissions globales des transports
routiers en CO si l’électricité provient de sources renouvelables. Une infrastructure de recharge
2
spécifique est requise pour charger les batteries de tels véhicules.
La majeure partie du travail de normalisation des cotes et spécifications électriques de l’infrastructure
de charge et de l’interface du véhicule a déjà été traitée dans les groupes ISO et IEC concernés.
Cependant, la question du transfert des données entre le VE et l’EVSE n’a pas été suffisamment traitée.
Cette communcation est nécessaire pour optimiser les ressources d’énergie et les systèmes de
production d’énergie afin que les véhicules puissent être rechargés de la manière la plus économique
et la plus efficace du point de vue énergétique. Il est en outre nécessaire de développer des systèmes
de facturation efficaces et pratiques afin de couvrir les micro-paiements qui en résultent. Dans le futur,
les canaux de communication nécessaires pourront servir à la stabilisation du réseau électrique ainsi
qu’au soutien des services d’informations supplémentaires requis pour une exploitation efficace et
économique des véhicules électriques.
Selon l’ISO 15118-3, les messages échangés entre le véhicule et l’infrastructure sont transportés au
travers du câble utilisé pour le transfert d’énergie. Avec l’avénement des technologies de transfert
d’énergie sans fil, et le formidable développement des communications sans fil dans nos sociétés, le
besoin d’une communication sans fil entre le véhicule et l’infrastructure de recharge devient impératif.
C’est l’objet principal du présent document. Les informations pertinentes sur les définitions de cas
d’usage et les exigences relatives au réseau et au protocole d’application se trouvent respectivement
dans les normes ISO 15118-1 et ISO 15118-2.

Exigences relatives à la couche physique et à la couche de
liaison entre les données pour la communication sans fil
1 Domaine d'application
Le présent document définit les exigences de la couche physique et de la couche de liaison de données
d’une communication sans fil de haute niveau (HLC) entre les véhicules électriques (VE) et les
équipements d’alimentation des véhicules électriques (EVSE). La technologie de communication sans
fil est utilisée comme alternative à la technologie de communication filaire telle que définie dans
l’ISO 15118-3.
Il couvre l’échange global d’information entre tous les acteurs impliqués dans l’échange d’énergie
électrique. L’ISO 15118 (toutes les parties) s’applique à la charge par conduction ainsi qu’au transfert
d’énergie sans fil (WPT).
Concernant la charge conductive, seuls les EVSE conformes à «l’IEC 61851-1 modes 3 et 4» et supportant
la HLC sont couverts par le présent document. Concernant le WPT, les sites de charge conformes à
l’IEC 61980 (toutes les parties) et les véhicules conformes à l’ISO 19363 sont traités dans le présent
document.

Le présent document définit les exigences applicables aux couches 1 et 2, y compris l’interface primitive
de service normalisée V2G, pour la communication sans fil, selon l’architecture en couches OSI. Les
couches 3 à 7 sont spécifiées dans l’ISO 15118-2.
Le présent document couvre à la fois la charge conductive et les cas d’usages WPT utilisant la
communication sans fil. Sauf définition différente, les exigences s’appliquent à la fois à la charge
conductive et à la charge WPT.
7 Exigences de la communication sans fil
7.1 Vue d’ensemble
Cet article donne les exigences du module de communication sans fil, à la fois pour l’EVCC et pour le
SECC. EVCC et SECC utilisent le réseau local sans fil (WLAN) comme indiqué dans l’IEEE Std 802.11-2012
pour la communication sans fil. Plus précisément, ils implémentent l’ensemble des fonctionnalités d’un

ISO 15118-8:2020(F)

HT STA ou d’un HT AP (qui ont été précisés au départ dans l’IEEE 802.11n-2009 et sont communément
appelés IEEE 802.11n), et fonctionnent dans les bandes 2,4 GHz et 5 GHz.
Ces bandes de fréquences sont des bandes ISM et U-NII sur lesquelles les autres technologies de
®1) ®2)
communication sans fil (ex. Bluetooth , ZigBee , baby phone) ainsi que les systèmes de non-
communication (ex. fours micro-onde, systèmes radar) peuvent provoquer des interférences avec les
canaux de communication WLAN. Par conséquent, les exigences du présent document sont conçues
de manière à garantir non seulement l’interopérabilité des systèmes, mais également à renforcer
la robustesse de la communication. De plus, les fabricants et les opérateurs doivent s’assurer que le
système est configuré pour être robuste. Par exemple, une attention particulière doit être apportée à la
sélection d’un canal opérationnel approprié pour éviter les interférences mentionnées précédemment.
Le présent document couvre différents cas d’usages en relation avec la communication sans fil pour
la charge conductive et le WPT, en tenant compte des différentes exigences de portée du canal de
communication.
— Découverte : l’EVCC est entré dans la portée de communication de la ou des SECC(s), puis s’associe à
un SECC approprié, pour démarrer le processus HLC pour les étapes suivantes (portée généralement
comprise entre 5 m et 30 m).
— Positionnement précis : alignement des dispositifs primaires et secondaires pour un transfert
d’énergie efficace en cas de WPT et alignement des connecteurs de VE et d’EVSE pour le transfert
d’énergie en cas de connexion automatique pour une charge conductive (portée généralement
comprise entre 10 cm et 5 m).
— Contrôle de charge : par exemple, demande d’énergie du véhicule vers l’EVSE (portée généralement
comprise entre 5 cm et 5 m).
Les détails de cas d’usages sont fournis dans l’ISO 15118-1.
La distance entre EVCC et SECC pour le contrôle de charge dépend de l’emplacement d’installation des
modules de communication sans fil et des antennes. Cela n’entre pas dans le champ d’application du
présent document et relève du fournisseur. Comme la distance influe sur la fiabilité de la liaison de la
communication, les fabricants sont invités à porter une attention particulière au choix de l’emplacement
du montage. Des paramètres supplémentaires à prendre en considération et quelques exemples de
configuration sont donnés en Annexe A.
Pour soumettre à essai et évaluer un système installé, un concept d’aire de service disponible a été
développé et détaillé en Annexe C.
7.2 Exigences du SECC
7.2.1 Généralités
Le module de communication sans fil du SECC doit satisfaire aux exigences décrites dans ce paragraphe
pour assurer l’interopérabilité entre le SECC et l’EVCC avec une robustesse de communication adéquate
pour les applications V2G.

ISO 15118-8:2020(F)

7.2.2 Technologie WLAN
[V2G8-001] Le module de communication sans fil du SECC doit utiliser la technologie de communi-
cation sans fil conforme à l’IEEE 802.11 (voir IEEE 802.11-2012).
[V2G8-002] Le module de communication sans fil du SECC doit être configuré comme point d’accès
(AP) conformément à l’IEEE 802.11.
[V2G8-003] Le module de communication sans fil du SECC doit prendre en charge l'ensemble des
fonctionnalités obligatoires d’un AP HT conformément à l’IEEE 802.11-2012 sur tous
les canaux qu’il supporte.
NOTE 1 Un AP HT est un point d’accès qui implémente le même ensemble de fonctionnalités qu’un STA HT
(voir IEEE 802.11-2012, 4.3.10).
Le SECC peut supporter d’autres variantes de la technologie IEEE 802.11, à condition que les EVCC
puissent établir des connexions via l’IEEE 802.11n. Le très haut débit PHY est un exemple de cette
technologie (voir IEEE 802.11ac-2013).
[V2G8-004] La période de balise du SECC ne doit pas dépasser T_beacon = 105 ms.
NOTE 2 La période de balise est le temps entre deux transmissions de trames de signalisation successives.
Elle est mesurée en unités de temps (1 TU = 1 024 µs). Une valeur type serait T_beacon = 100 TU.
NOTE 3 T_beacon est la valeur du champ d’intervalles de balises telles qu’elles sont décrites dans la norme
IEEE 802.11-2012, 8.4.1.3.
7.2.3 Fréquence et canal WLAN
Il existe deux bandes de fréquence comportant jusqu’à 35 canaux que le SECC et l’EVCC peuvent utiliser
pour communiquer. Le SECC est responsable du choix du canal à utiliser. Les SECCs prenant en charge
le fonctionnement simultané à double bande peuvent offrir deux canaux de fonctionnement pour
la connexion des EVCCs, tandis que les SECCs prenant en charge le fonctionnement en double bande
sélectionnable ne peuvent offrir qu’un seul canal de fonctionnement. Le SECC pour les communications
sans fil peut être responsable d’une ou de plusieurs prises électriques comme décrit dans l’ISO 15118-1,
ce qui est différent du SECC utilisant la communication par courant porteur qui ne contrôle qu’une
seule prise électrique comme décrit dans l’ISO 15118-3. En raison de la possible différence radicale des
conditions environnementales spectrales entre les EVCCs, dans le cas des SECCs contrôlant plusieurs
prises électriques, offrir deux canaux de fonctionnement permettrait aux EVCCs de choisir le canal
le moins affecté par ses interférences locales (par ex. provenant d’un système d’infodivertissement
embarqué), augmentant ainsi la robustesse de la communication. Pour les SECCs installés dans un
environnement non contrôlé où le spectre ne fera pas l’objet d’une surveillance professionnelle, par
ex. généralement envisagé pour les systèmes WPT, il est également recommandé d’offrir un support à
double bande simultané.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 15118-8:2020(F)

[V2G8-005] Si le SECC prend en charge le WPT, le module de communication sans fil du SECC doit
prendre en charge le fonctionnement en parallèle sur les deux bandes de fréquence
2,4 GHz et 5 GHz.
[V2G8-006] Si le SECC contrôle deux ou plusieurs prises électriques à la fois, le module de commu-
nication sans fil du SECC doit prendre en charge le fonctionnement en parallèle sur les
deux bandes de fréquence 2,4 GHz et 5 GHz.
[V2G8-007] Si le SECC ne contrôle qu’une prise électrique à la fois, le module de communication sans
fil du SECC doit prendre en charge le fonctionnement sur les deux bandes de fréquence
2,4 GHz et 5 GHz mais pas nécessairement en parallèle, sauf si [V2G8-005] s’applique.
[V2G8-008] Le module de communication sans fil du SECC doit prendre en charge un minimum de
trois canaux par bande de fréquence sur le site d’exploitation parmi les canaux énu-
mérés aux Tableau 1 et Tableau 2.
NOTE 1 Selon l’emplacement du SECC, tous les canaux énumérés dans les Tableaux 1 et 2 peuvent ne pas être
utilisés (voir Figure 2). V2G8-027 et V2G8-008 font référence au sous-ensemble commun à ces deux groupes.
NOTE 2 Un ensemble de règlementations nationales à l’usage des canaux de la bande U-NII est listé en
Annexe D, Tableau D.1.
NOTE 3 Selon les règlementations locales, la mise en œuvre de DFS et/ou de TPC peut être requise. Le mécanisme
DFS est décrit dans l’IEEE 802.11-2012, 10.9. Le mécanisme TPC est décrit dans l’IEEE 802.11-2012, 10.8.

Introduction
The pending energy crisis and necessity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has led the vehicle
manufacturers to a very significant effort to reduce the energy consumption of their vehicles. They
are presently developing vehicles partly or completely propelled by electric energy. Those vehicles will
reduce the dependency on oil, improve the global energy efficiency and reduce the total CO emissions
2
for road transportation if the electricity is produced from renewable sources. To charge the batteries of
such vehicles, a specific charging infrastructure is required.
Much of the standardization work on dimensional and electrical specifications of the charging
infrastructure and the vehicle interface is already treated in the relevant ISO or IEC groups. However,
the question of information transfer between the EV and the EVSE has not been treated sufficiently.
Such communication is necessary for the optimization of energy resources and energy production
systems so that vehicles can recharge in the most economic or most energy efficient way. It is also
required to develop efficient and convenient billing systems in order to cover the resulting micro-
payments. The necessary communication channel may serve in the future to contribute to the
stabilization of the electrical grid, as well as to support additional information services required to
operate electric vehicles efficiently and economically.
In ISO 15118-3, the messages exchanged between the vehicle and the infrastructure are transported
by the cable used for power transfer. With the inception of wireless power transfer technologies and
the tremendous development of wireless communication in our societies, the need for a wireless
communication between vehicle and charging infrastructure becomes imperative. This is the main
focus of this document. The relevant information on use-case definitions and network and application
protocol requirements can be found in ISO 15118-1 and ISO 15118-2, respectively.

Figure 1 — Overview of ISO 15118-1, ISO 15118-2, and this document in the
ISO/IEC OSI reference model
This document defines requirements applicable to layer 1 and 2, including the V2G standardized service
primitive interface for wireless communication, according to the OSI layered architecture. Layers 3 to 7
are specified in ISO 15118-2.
This document covers both conductive charging and WPT use-cases using wireless communication. If
not defined differently, requirements apply for both conductive charging and WPT.
7 Wireless communication requirements
7.1 Overview
This clause gives requirements for the wireless communication module on both the EVCC and the SECC
side. EVCC and SECC make use of wireless local area network (WLAN) as specified in IEEE Std 802.11-
2012 for wireless communication. More specifically, they implement the feature set of an HT STA or
HT AP (which were originally specified in IEEE 802.11n-2009 and are thus commonly referred to as
IEEE 802.11n), and operate in the 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

ISO/FDIS 15118-8:2020(E)

These frequency bands are ISM and U-NII bands where both other wireless communication technologies
®1) ®2)
(e.g. Bluetooth , ZigBee , baby phone), and non-communication systems (e.g. microwave ovens,
radar systems) can cause interference with the WLAN communication channels. Therefore, the
requirements in this document are designed in a way where not only system interoperability is ensured,
but also the communication robustness is hardened. In addition, manufacturers and operators need to
make sure that the system is configured for robustness. For example, particular care has to be given to
selecting an appropriate operating channel to avoid the above-mentioned interference.
This document covers various use-cases in relationship to wireless communication for conductive
charging and WPT, considering different range requirements for the communication channel:
— Discovery: the EVCC has entered the communication range of the SECC(s), then associates to an
appropriate SECC to start HLC for further steps (typically 5 m to 30 m range);
— Fine positioning: alignment of the primary and secondary devices for efficient power transfer in
case of WPT and alignment of the connectors of EV and EVSE for power transfer in case of automatic
connection for conductive charging (typically 10 cm to 5 m range);
— Charging control: for example, power request from vehicle to EVSE (typically 5 cm to 5 m range).
Use-case details are given in ISO 15118-1.
The distance between EVCC and SECC for charging control depends on the installation location of
the wireless communication modules and antennae. This is out of scope of this document and vendor
specific. As the distance influences the reliability of the communication link, manufacturers are
encouraged to pay particular attention to the choice of mounting location. Additional parameters to be
considered and some example setups are given in Annex A.
For testing and evaluating an installed system, a concept of service available area has been developed
and detailed in Annex C.
7.2 SECC requirements
7.2.1 General
The wireless communication module of the SECC shall fulfil the requirements described in this
subclause to ensure interoperability between the SECC and EVCC with adequate communication
robustness for V2G applications.
7.2.2 WLAN technology
[V2G8-001] The wireless communication module of the SECC shall use IEEE 802.11
(see IEEE Std 802.11-2012) compliant wireless communication technology.
[V2G8-002] The wireless communication module of the SECC shall be configured as
access point (AP) according to IEEE 802.11.
[V2G8-003] The wireless communication module of the SECC shall support the mandatory
feature set of an HT AP according to IEEE Std 802.11-2012 on all the channels that
it supports.
NOTE 1 An HT AP is an access point implementing the same set of features as an HT STA (see IEEE Std 802.11-
2012, 4.3.10).

ISO/FDIS 15118-8:2020(E)

The SECC may support other variants of IEEE 802.11 technology, as long as EVCCs can always establish
connections via IEEE 802.11n. An example of such a technology is the very high throughput PHY
(see IEEE 802.11ac-2013).
[V2G8-004] The beacon period of the SECC shall not exceed T_beacon = 105 ms.
NOTE 2 The beacon period is the time between two successive transmissions of the beacon frame. It is
measured in time units (1 TU = 1 024 µs). A typical value would be T_beacon = 100 TU.
NOTE 3 T_beacon is the value of the beacon interval field as described in IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 8.4.1.3.
7.2.3 WLAN frequency and channel
There are two frequency bands with up to 35 channels which the SECC and EVCC can use to communicate.
The SECC is responsible for choosing the channel for operation. SECCs supporting simultaneous dual
band operation is able to offer two operating channels for EVCCs to connect, while SECCs supporting
selectable dual band operation is only able to offer a single operating channel. The SECC for wireless
communication may be responsible for one or more power outlets as described in ISO 15118-1, which
is different from the SECC using powerline communication which controls only a single power outlet as
described in ISO 15118-3. Due to the possible drastic difference in the spectral environmental conditions
among the EVCCs in the case of SECCs controlling multiple power outlets, offering two operating
channels would let the EVCCs choose the channel which is less affected by its local interferences (e.g.
from in-car infotainment system) and thus increase the communication robustness. For SECCs installed
in an uncontrolled environment where the spectrum will not be monitored professionally, e.g. typically
envisioned for WPT systems, it is also advisable to offer simultaneous dual band support.
[V2G8-005] If the SECC supports WPT, the wireless communication module of the SECC shall
support operation at both the 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands in parallel.
[V2G8-006] If the SECC controls two or more power outlets at a time, the wireless
communication module of the SECC shall support operation at both the 2,4 GHz
and 5 GHz frequency bands in parallel.
[V2G8-007] If the SECC controls only one power outlet at a time, the wireless communication
module of the SECC shall support operation at both the 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz
frequency bands, but not necessarily in parallel, unless [V2G8-005] applies.
[V2G8-008] The wireless communication module of the SECC shall support a minimum of three
channels per frequency band at the operating site among the channels listed in
Table 1 and Table 2.
NOTE 1 Depending on the location of the SECC, not all the channels listed in Table 1 and Table 2 can be allowed
to be used (see Figure 2). V2G8-027 and V2G8-008 refers to the common subset of these two groups.
NOTE 2 A collection of national regulations in usage of the U-NII band channels is listed in Annex D, Table D.1.
NOTE 3 Depending on local regulations, the implementation of DFS and/or TPC can be required. The DFS
mechanism is described in IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 10.9. The TPC mechanism is described in IEEE Std 802.11-
2012, 10.8.

7.2.4 SECC channel scanning and selection
Since SECCs operate using unlicensed shared spectrum, the spectrum environment at the operation
site of the SECC should be taken into account when selecting the operating channel in order to improve
robustness of the communication link between the SECC and EVCC(s). The SECC may perform automatic
channel scanning and selection to choose an appropriate channel. The effectiveness of the automatic
channel selection is dependent on the channel selection algorithm, which is out of scope of this
document. Alternatively, the operator may analyse the operating environment through a spectrum site
survey and select the most suitable channel/list of channels for the SECC. These two methods are not
mutually exclusive to each other and may be used in combination depending on the needs of the SECC
operator. The requirements in this subclause are formulated as the basic requirements to ensure a good
level of confidence for smooth operation.
[V2G8-009] Channel selection of the SECC shall be done by an automatic channel scanning and
channel switching algorithm.
NOTE 1 Channel scanning refers to an SECC scanning a list of channels which it can operate in.
NOTE 2 Channel switching refers to the change of the current operating channel of the SECC to a different and
more preferred channel after channel scanning.
