Hello folks,This afternoon, I managed to completely misunderstand what I was being asked about at the 6tisch meeting. Please excuse...
I would indeed like to offer a very brief update about the recent 802.15.12 progress last week at the IEEE 802 Wireless meeting. The minutes are available at the following URL:
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15/dcn/17/15-17-0429-00-0012-tg-802-15-12-minutes-for-july-2017-plenary-meeting.doc Here are some developments from the meeting: * Discussed the programming interface between 802.15.12 layer and higher-layer protocols * Will be looking towards CoAP for remote management interface * Discussed the role of the management module and use of profiles to simplify configuration * Discussed the processing of incoming frames and functional block interface imposed by the features of 802.15.10 (Layer-2 routing) * Discussed the value of using YANG as a preferred method for describing interface profiles and other necessary management dataI have attached the current version of the Functional Block Decomposition diagram for 802.15.12 (as drawn up by Pat Kinney). It's almost self-explanatory but not quite. PDE may be compared to switching on Ethertype. A "SAP" is a service-access point and is a general term which means "module interface". A SAP is defined by a list of parameters, and what the recipient does with the parameters. L2R is layer-2 routing. KMP is Key Management Protocol (802.15.9). I won't go into the MAC or PHY layer parameters, but you can see in the diagram where TSCH lives.
Regards, Charlie P.
