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.

SIST EN ISO 15118-8:2020
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).

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.

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.

oSIST prEN ISO 15118-8:2020
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.
