9.2 NFC FORUM Profile as defined in [NCI]
T
he NFC FORUM profile is the implementation of the RF discovery activity as defined in
the NFC FORUM (see [ACTIVITY] specification). [NCI] only covers technologies NFC-A,
NFC-B & NFC-F. So the basic NFC FORUM profile will poll for these technologies only.
Furthermore, for NFC-F, only one bit rate is used during the polling phase. This is
configured thanks to the “Poll F parameter” PF_BIT_RATE as defined in [NCI], section
6.1.4. So the DH configures if NFC-F is polled at 212kbps or at 424kbps, before it
activates the discovery by sending the RF_DISCOVER_CMD command.
The figure bellow represents the profile defined by the NFC FORUM, assuming that the
DH has enabled the 3 technologies currently supported by the NFC FORUM (NFC-A, NFC-
B, NFC-F) in Poll mode & Listen mode. To do so, it has to send the following command:
RF_DISCOVER_CMD( 6,
[NFC_A_PASSIVE_POLL_MODE,1],
[NFC_B_PASSIVE_POLL_MODE,1],
[NFC_F_PASSIVE_POLL_MODE,1],
[NFC_A_PASSIVE_LISTEN_MODE,1],
[NFC_B_PASSIVE_LISTEN_MODE,1],
[NFC_F_PASSIVE_LISTEN_MODE,1] )
