Background
IEEE P802.15.4-MAC amendment Task Group (TG4e) has been chartered to
create an amendment to the IEEE802.15.4 MAC.
Industrial applications (such as addressed by HART 7 and the ISA100
proposed standards) have used the 802.15.4-2006 standard with
modifications to the MAC to suit these environments. Additionally,
the proposed Chinese WPAN standard also includes MAC enhancements that
cannot be included in TG4c due to its scope.
Relevant documents presented in support of the proposed enhancements
include:
