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. -- [email protected] _______________________________________________ 6tisch mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6tisch
