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.

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

communication that can communicate a lot of information and narrow area communication that
is mainly for pairing, which may be performed via P2PS.

6 General communication requirements
6.1 General
MF-D-WPT systems shall use communication between electric road vehicle (EV) and
infrastructure for the MF-WPT power transfer process.
For MF-D-WPT systems, the physical and data link layer (OSI layers 1 and 2) of the wireless
communication interface (c in Figure 1) shall be in accordance with DSRC or cellular network
(5G or LTE) and so on.
Cloud system with cellular or DSRC shall support mobility function.
The communication of a MF-D-WPT system shall be implemented as per ISO 15118-20. This
includes the requirements for message exchange, communication security and the integrity
safety for the user of the charging possibility on the electric road.
A robust operation of a MF-D-WPT system requires the implementation of different but
interrelated timing requirements.
MF-D-WPT system shall conform to
– communication timing requirements according to ISO 15118-20, and
– timing requirements with respect to specific activities and actions described in Clause 7,
respectively.
MF-D-WPT system shall maintain inherently safe operation without relying solely on the
wireless communications.
A MF-WPT system shall be tested in accordance with ISO 15118-20 and Clause 7 of this
document.
6.2 Communication and signalling for power management
6.2.1 General
Power management consists of two layers:
– wide area management, including the distribution network, is determined from the maximum
amount of power from the grid;
– local management is the distribution of power to each coil.
6.2.2 Bidirectional wireless communication
The communication between D-SECC and D-EVCC is performed by high-speed wireless
communication. Table 1 shows the requirements for the communication interface between one
D-SECC and one D-EVCC.
EXAMPLE DSRC, cellular network (5G or LTE) local 5G.
Table 1 – Requirement for the communication interface between
one SECC and one EVCC
Category Detail
Communication speed > 10 Mbit/s
Data size (bit width) < 256 byte
Communication latency < 100 ms
Communication area XML or EXI format
6.2.3 Unidirectional wireless signalling (P2PS)
The P2PS is used to inform the vehicle ID from the vehicle to the supply device in paring,
alignment check, magnetic coupling check, terminate power transfer and power transfer
terminate activities. Table 2 shows the requirements for the communication interface between
one supply device P2PS controller and one EV
