Dear 6lo WG, A new revision of the IPv6 over OWC draft (-06) has been submitted.
This update is limited to Section 7 (Security Considerations). The section has been revised to incorporate high-level security considerations discussed previously, including a brief reference to the MAC-layer security services defined in IEEE 802.15.7 and clarification that some of the identified risks may be mitigated by those mechanisms. No other sections have been modified in this revision. Comments and feedback are welcome.

It defines how data is transmitted, modulated, and organized in order to enable reliable and efficient communication in various environments. The standard is designed to work alongside other wireless communication systems and supports both Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) communications. However, ambient light interference from natural sunlight or artificial lighting sources can impact signal reliability. To mitigate this, advanced modulation techniques, optical filtering, and adaptive power control can be employed. This document describes how IPv6 is transmitted over short-range optical wireless communications (OWC) using IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) techniques.
