Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Class B shipborne equipment of the automatic identification system (AIS) - Part 2: Self-organising time division multiple access (SOTDMA) techniques

IEC 62287-2:2013(E) specifies operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results for Class B 'SO' shipborne AIS equipment using Self-organised TDMA (SOTDMA) techniques as described in Recommendation ITU-R M.1371. This standard takes into account other associated IEC International Standards and existing national standards, as applicable. The main differences between Class B 'CS' (IEC 62287-1) and Class B 'SO' units are that the Class B 'SO': - covers all 25 kHz channels listed in Recommendation ITU-R M.1084-5; - only uses the internal GNSS, no position sensor input is allowed; - requires use of VDL Message 17 for correction of the internal GNSS; - has a presentation interface; - has additional reporting intervals, down to 5 s; - has two power settings, with a high level of 5 W; - has the capability to transmit binary messages. It is applicable for AIS equipment used on craft that are not covered by a mandatory carriage requirement of AIS under SOLAS Chapter V.

Pomorska navigacijska in radiokomunikacijska oprema in sistemi - Ladijska oprema razreda B avtomatičnega identifikacijskega sistema (AIS) - 2. del: Tehnike samoorganiziranega časovno porazdeljenega sodostopa

Ta del standarda IEC 62287 določa zahteve za delovanje in zmogljivost, metode preskušanja ter zahtevane rezultate preskusov za ladijsko opremo razreda B avtomatičnega identifikacijskega sistema »SO«, ki uporablja tehnike samoorganiziranega časovno porazdeljenega sodostopa (SOTDMA), kakor so opisane v Priporočilu ITU-R M.1371. Ta standard upošteva druge povezane mednarodne standarde IEC in obstoječe nacionalne standarde, kakor je primerno. Glavna razlika med enotami razreda B »CS« (IEC 62287-1) in »SO« je, da razred B »SO«: – zajema vse 25-kHz kanale, navedene v Priporočilu ITU-R M.1084-5; – uporablja samo notranji GNSS, vhod senzorja položaja ni dovoljen; – predvideva uporabo VDL Message 17 za popravek notranjega GNSS; – vključuje predstavitveni vmesnik; – vključuje dodatne intervale poročanja, do 5 s; – omogoča dve nastavitvi napajanja, pri čemer je višja 5 W; – omogoča zmogljivost prenosa binarnih sporočil. Velja za vso opremo avtomatičnega identifikacijskega sistema v uporabi na ladji, ki je ne zajema obvezna zahteva za prevoz za avtomatične identifikacijske sisteme v 5. delu Mednarodne konvencije o varstvu človeškega življenja na morju.

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.

MARITIME NAVIGATION AND RADIOCOMMUNICATION
EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS –
CLASS B SHIPBORNE EQUIPMENT OF
THE AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS) –

Part 2: Self-organising time division multiple access
(SOTDMA) techniques
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62287 specifies operational and performance requirements, methods of
testing and required test results for Class B “SO” shipborne AIS equipment using Self-
organised TDMA (SOTDMA) techniques as described in Recommendation ITU-R M.1371. This
standard takes into account other associated IEC International Standards and existing
national standards, as applicable.
The main differences between Class B “CS” (IEC 62287-1) and Class B “SO” units are that
the Class B “SO”:
• covers all 25 kHz channels listed in Recommendation ITU-R M.1084-5;
• only uses the internal GNSS, no position sensor input is allowed;
• requires use of VDL Message 17 for correction of the internal GNSS;
• has a presentation interface;
• has additional reporting intervals, down to 5 s;
• has two power settings, with a high level of 5 W;
• has the capability to transmit binary messages.
It is applicable for AIS equipment used on craft that are not covered by a mandatory carriage
requirement of AIS under SOLAS Chapter V.
