Scope IEEE 802.15.5 WPAN Mesh To provide a recommended practice to provide the architectural framework enabling WPAN devices to promote interoperable, stable, and scaleable wireless mesh topologies and, if needed, to provide the amendment text to the current WPAN standards that is required to implement this recommended practice

Purpose IEEE 802.15.5 WPAN Mesh This project facilitates wireless mesh topologies optimized for IEEE 802.15 WPANs. Mesh Topologies provide: -Extension of network coverage without increasing the transmit power or the receiver sensitivity -Enhanced reliability via route redundancy -Easier network configuration -Better device battery life
