P802.1ACea – MAC Service Definition Amendment: Support for IEEE Std 802.15.6
The scope of this standard is to define the Media Access Control (MAC) Service provided by all IEEE 802(R) MACs, and the Internal Sublayer Service (ISS) provided within MAC Bridges, in abstract terms of the following: a) Their semantics, primitive actions, and events; and b) The parameters of, interrelationship between, and valid sequences of these actions and events.
The scope of this project adds support of the Internal Sublayer Service by the IEEE Std 802.15.6 MAC entity. This amendment also includes technical and editorial corrections in the description of existing IEEE Std 802.1AC functionality.
The need for this project is to enable IEEE 802.15.6 networks to bridge to other IEEE 802 networks.
