Beacon is the frame type sent out by the coordinator to announce its presense. It is quite often sent out periodically (like for example in 6tisch). Enhanced Beacon frame is the Beacon frame with version number 2, which allows it to include information elements needed for example for 6tisch. Enhanced Beacon Request is a MAC Command frame with Beacon Request Command ID with frame version 2, and usually having Enhanced Beacon Filter IE. It is used by the device asking for the coordinator to send its Beacon, especially when there is no periodic transmission of the beacons. Enhanced acknowledgment is an acknowledgment frame with version number 2, meaning it can have addressing fields, security and Information Elements in it. It is used in the TSCH to return the Time Correction IEs from the receiving node to the sending node. -- [email protected] _______________________________________________ 6tisch mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6tisch
