Industrial networks - Coexistence of wireless systems - Part 4: Coexistence management with central coordination of wireless applications

IEC 62657-4:2025 specifies a concept and methods for central coordination (CC) of automation applications using wireless communications to extend the coexistence management according to IEC 62657-2. It establishes system elements, interfaces and relationships for a central coordination. Functions, data, and data exchange for assessing and maintaining the coexistence state are specified.
This document specifies the central coordination point (CCP) approach as one example of the usage of the formal description given in IEC 62657-3. This document is applicable to develop, implement, or modify procedures or solutions.
This document provides requirements for automated coexistence management systems.
This document provides requirements for:
– determination of the coexistence state,
– automated coexistence management procedures,
– CC amendments for existing wireless communication solutions,
– CC functions that coordinate legacy and new wireless communication systems,
– CC sequences and message formats for data exchange.
This document is not restricted to a specific radio frequency range nor is it restricted to a specific wireless communication technology.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The data item (parameter) to be exchanged between CCP and CMWCA and CMWD to ensure interoperability between CCP providers and device providers.
b) The sequence of services conducted between CCP and CMWCA and CMWD are now defined. When the CCP providers and the device providers implement similar process, clearly defined sequence and unified execution specifications ensure interoperability as expected.
c) The message formats of sequence diagram to be exchanged between CCP and CMWCA and CMWD are defined. By defining the message formats, the hierarchical structure of each data (parameter), and implementing the same message format by the CCP provider and the device provider, enables to exchange data correctly and ensure interoperability.

Réseaux industriels - Coexistence des systèmes sans fil - Partie 4: Gestion de coexistence avec coordination centralisée des applications sans fil

L'IEC 62657-4:2025 spécifie un concept et des méthodes de coordination centrale (CC) des applications d'automatisation à l'aide de communications sans fil, afin d'étendre la gestion de coexistence selon l'IEC 62657-2. Elle établit les éléments de système, les interfaces et les relations permettant d'assurer une coordination centrale. Les fonctions, les données et l'échange de données pour l'évaluation et le maintien de l'état de coexistence sont spécifiés. Le présent document spécifie l'approche du point de coordination central (CCP, Central Coordination Point) comme exemple d'utilisation de la description formelle donnée dans l'IEC 62657-3.
Le présent document vise à développer, mettre en œuvre ou modifier des procédures ou solutions.
Le présent document fournit les exigences relatives aux systèmes de gestion automatisée de la coexistence.
Il fournit les exigences relatives:
– à la détermination de l'état de coexistence;
– aux procédures de gestion automatisée de la coexistence;
– aux amendements de la coordination centrale pour les solutions de communication sans fil existantes;
– aux fonctions de coordination centrale qui coordonnent les systèmes de communication sans fil existants et nouveaux;
– aux séquences de coordination centrale et aux formats de messages pour l'échange de données.
Le présent document ne se limite pas à une plage de radiofréquences particulière ni à une technologie de communication sans fil spécifique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) l'élément de données (paramètre) à échanger entre le CCP et la CMWCA et le CMWD pour assurer l'interopérabilité entre les fournisseurs de CCP et les fournisseurs d'appareils;
b) la séquence des services exécutés entre le CCP et la CMWCA et le CMWD est désormais définie. Lorsque les fournisseurs de CCP et les fournisseurs d'appareils mettent en œuvre un processus similaire, une séquence clairement définie et des spécifications d'exécution unifiées assurent l'interopérabilité comme prévu;
c) les formats de messages du diagramme de séquence à échanger entre le CCP et la CMWCA et le CMWD sont définis. En définissant les formats de messages, la structure hiérarchique de chaque donnée (paramètre) et la mise en œuvre du même format de message par le fournisseur de CCP et le fournisseur d'appareil permettent d'échanger les données correctement et d'assurer l'interopérabilité.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes
made to the previous edition IEC 62657-4:2022. A vertical bar appears in the margin
wherever a change has been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in

IEC 62657-4 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial networks, of IEC technical
committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and automation. It is an International
Standard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2022. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition.
a) The data item (parameter) to be exchanged between CCP and CMWCA and CMWD to
ensure interoperability between CCP providers and device providers.
b) The sequence of services conducted between CCP and CMWCA and CMWD are now
defined. When the CCP providers and the device providers implement similar process,
clearly defined sequence and unified execution specifications ensure interoperability as
expected.
c) The message formats of sequence diagram to be exchanged between CCP and CMWCA
and CMWD are defined. By defining the message formats, the hierarchical structure of each
data (parameter), and implementing the same message format by the CCP provider and the
device provider, enables to exchange data correctly and ensure interoperability.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

The IEC 62657 series provides background, foundations, process and examples to achieve
wireless coexistence. With a coexistence management process according to IEC 62657-2, a
predictable assuredness of coexistence can be achieved for a given spectrum while ensuring
that application requirements continue to be met. The present document provides an automated
coexistence management.

Part 4: Coexistence management with central coordination
of wireless applications
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62657 specifies a concept and methods for central coordination (CC) of
automation applications using wireless communications to extend the coexistence management
according to IEC 62657-2. It establishes system elements, interfaces and relationships for a
central coordination. Functions, data, and data exchange for assessing and maintaining the
coexistence state are specified.
This document specifies the central coordination point (CCP) approach as one example of the
usage of the formal description given in IEC 62657-3.
This document is applicable to develop, implement, or modify procedures or solutions.
This document provides requirements for automated coexistence management systems.
This document provides requirements for:
– determination of the coexistence state,
– automated coexistence management procedures,
– CC amendments for existing wireless communication solutions,
– CC functions that coordinate legacy and new wireless communication systems,
– CC sequences and message formats for data exchange.
This document is not restricted to a specific radio frequency range nor is it restricted to a specific
wireless communication technology.
