Current IrDA Standards

Current IrDA standards are:

• Serial Infrared (SIR) physical layer specification, which provides for serial infrared links running up to 115.2 Kbps. High speed physical layer specifications have been approved by IrDA that will support link speeds of 1.152 Mbps and 4.0 Mbps.
• IR Link Access Protocol (IrLAP) provides a reliable point-to-point link, which effectively replaces a three-wire serial cable connection.
• IR Link Management Protocol (IrLMP) provides for multiple sessions over the single point-to-point link.
• An Information Access Service (IAS) is also specified through which a device can learn about the services offered by another device.
