The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Using IEEE802.15.4e TSCH in an IoT context: Overview, Problem Statement and Goals' (draft-ietf-6tisch-tsch-06.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman and Ted Lemon. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6tisch-tsch/ Technical Summary This document describes the environment, problem statement, and goals for using the IEEE802.15.4e TSCH MAC protocol in the context of LLNs. This MAC is the base for the 6TiSCH work. 6TiSCH adds in particular a LLC Sublayer and security mechanisms that are described is separate documents. Working Group Summary The 6TiSCH group counts a number of 802.15.4 and 4e experts, on topics including MAC operations and security. This document focuses on MAC operations only. 6TiSCH has started a new line of work on the security of the join process and of link operation separately so that piece is not expected from the present document. Document Quality The document is a high-level description of an IEEE standard and does not define a standard component by itself. It can be expected that 802.15.4e will be slightly revised as it is wrapped up in the IEEE 802.15.4-2015 standard. The changes, though, will probably be below the level of detail addressed in the document. Personnel Document Shepherd: Pascal Thubert Responsible Area Director: Ted Lemon
