There is TimeStamp parameter to the MCSP-DATA.indication which tells
when the frame was received. TimeStamp is also available in the
PANDescriptor when you are scanning the network for beacons, and when
joining to TSCH network the upper layer needs to somehow calculate
current ASN from the TimeStamp of received beacon and the TSCH
Synchorinization IE contained in the Beacon. This means this kind of
operation where timestamp is converted to timeslots is something upper
layer needs to be able to do anyways, so it should be able to convert
the TimeStamp of received frame to ASN and then use that ASN to do
security processing.
