Hi all,
in the call today and thanks to the recent coding efforts due to the ETSI
plugtest we identified several fields that need to be agreed in order to
have an inter-operable minimal configuration. To materialize this I propose
the following section in the minimal draft. Please, provide your comments
and considerations before the cutoff date next Monday.
++++++
4. IEEE.802.15.4 Specific Header Fields and Considerations
In order to ensure interoperability at the IEEE802.15.4 layer this
documents proposes a set of rules that MUST be applied to ensure
compliance with the minimal configuration.
Use of long addresses in the IEEE802.15.4 header. This is a
mandatory requirement as a minimal network does not have a network
entity nor the defined process to be able to map long addresses to
short addresses upon the joining of a node.
All IEEE802.15.4 frames MUST use Frame Version 0b10 (0x2) to
support IEs.
The PANID Compression field MUST be clear and source and
destination addresses and the destination PANID MUST be present in
the header according to the Table 2.A in [IEEE802154-2012].
All 802.15.4 headers (including ACKs) MUST carry the Sequence
Number to facilitate the detection of duplicate ACKs.
ACKs MUST carry source and destination addresses and sequence
number. Addresses MAY be used as a mechanism to match requests
with responses while sequence numbers MAY be used to detect
duplicate ACKs.
Kind regards,
Xavi
