LECIM MAC Design Design considerations low bit rate PHY 25Kbps long distance asymmetric topology 1-n star topology over 1,000 devices unbalanced power-source need to extend the coverage short data, less frequent long life span without maintenance 20 years various quality of service delay sensitive, delay tolerant

Possible Infra Structures Star topology power free collector synchronized/asynchronous resource allocation power management on end point identify operators at PHY or MAC layer Multi-hop topology with repeater virtual star network synchronized resource allocation for each hop upward/downward forwarding at the MAC layer operator 1 operator n

Link Repeater Extend reaches of link Link repeater varying RF environment from/to coordinator devices are located sparsely extend reaches of link from/to coordinator Link repeater echo forward a frame after receiving a frame from the coordinator or devices link repeater is power-free or located at ease maintainable place coordinator repeater device

RSLN Coordinator MLME-RSLN-START.request MLME-RSLN-START.confirm The MLME-RSLN-START.request primitive is used by the RSLN coordinator to initiate a new RSLN or to begin using a new slotted-superframe configuration. This primitive is also used by a RSLN repeater already associated with an existing RSLN to begin using a new slotted-superframe configuration. The semantics of this primitive are: PANId, ChannelNumber, ChannelPage, BeaconOrder, SuperframeOrder, DeviceSlotNum, CoordinatorSlotNum, PANCoordinator, CoordRealignment, CoordRealignSecurityLevel, CoordRealignKeyIdMode, CoordRealignKeySource, CoordRealignKeyIndex, BeaconSecurityLevel, BeaconKeyIdMode, BeaconKeySource, BeaconKeyIndex MLME-RSLN-START.confirm The MLME-RSLN-START.confirm primitive reports the results of the attempt to start using a new superframe configuration.
