Defining the Border Between P and P Myung Lee CUNY/Samsung
IEEE P P Protocol Stack — Option 1: With Routing Protocol
IEEE P P Protocol Stack — Option 2: Without Routing Protocol
Our view on dot0 * and dot5 Network Layer –Should multi-hop routing protocol be included in wireless NCAPs and transducers (option 1): The routing protocol belongs to dot5 instead of dot0 since only dot5 needs routing functions. As routing is the major function of the network layer, and routing is highly related to other functions of the network layer (e.g. addressing), we suggest putting the whole network layer to dot5. –If multi-hop routing is not considered in 1451 family (option 2): The network layer of dot5 can belong to dot0. * IEEE P Common TEDS Study Group — Final Report
Our view on dot0 and dot5 (cont.) Management –Different MAC may need different management Ex. Channel scan for wireless MAC/PHY Standard services offered by the Data Link Layer –Can be part of dot5 (instead of part of dot0) because some services are not common to all dotXs (e.g. dot2).
