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 data

I 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.
