Figure 2.2: PPDU as specified in IEEE 802.15.4.
The synchronization header (SHR) and the Physical Layer Header (PHR) are required overhead to the
PHY payload. The SHR enables the receiving device to find the start of the packet, through correlation
with a known sequence, the Preamble. The Start-of-Frame Delimiter (SFD) is a 1-byte value marking
the end of the preamble. The PHR contains information about the total size of the packet.
The total length of the overhead, i.e. the SHR and the PHR, for the 2,4 GHz channel, is 6 bytes (IEEE,
2006). The PHY payload, or the Physical Layer Service Data Unit (PSDU), contains the packets inner
layers including additional overhead as well as the actual information bits. Hence, the size of the
payload depends on the size of the information that is transmitted. In WirelessHART the total packet
size is restrained by the timeslot structure, which tolerates packet sizes up to 133 bytes.
