IEEE 802.15.10-2017 PDF

This recommended practice defines a protocol that routes packets in a dynamically changing IEEE 802.15.4 network with minimal impact from route management. The result is an extension of the area of coverage as the number of nodes increases. This recommended practice will facilitate the routing of packets in dynamically changing wireless networks. In particular, it will provide for automatic handling of route related capabilities such as the following: Discovery and addition of new nodes; Route establishment; Dynamic route reconfiguration; Re-establishment of broken/lost routes; Purging of inactive routes; Real time link status information exchange; Single hop appearance at the networking layer (not breaking standard Layer 3 mechanisms); Support for broadcast; Support for multicast; Frame forwarding New IEEE Standard - Active. The routing of packets in dynamically changing wireless networks is facilitated in this recommended practice. The result is an extension of the area of coverage as the number of nodes increase.
