Terms Used in IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e
draft-ietf-6tisch-terminology-10
Abstract
This document provides a glossary of terminology used in IPv6 over
the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e (6TiSCH). This document extends
existing terminology documents for Low-power and Lossy Networks.

1. Introduction
The IEEE802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) has evolved with the
Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) mode for industrial-type
applications.
This document provides additional terminology elements to cover terms
that are new to the context of TSCH wireless networks and other
deterministic networks.
2. Terminology
The draft extends [RFC7102] and use terms from [RFC6550] and
[RFC6552], which are all included here by reference.
The draft does not reuse terms from IEEE802.15.4 such as "path" or
"link" which bear a meaning that is quite different from classical
IETF parlance.
This document adds the following terms:
6TiSCH (IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e): It defines the
6top sublayer, a set of protocols for setting up a TSCH
schedule in distributed approach, and a security
solution.
6top (6TiSCH Operation Sublayer): The next highest layer of the
IEEE802.15.4 TSCH medium access control layer. It
implements and terminates 6P, and contains at least one
SF.
6P (6top Protocol): Allows neighbor nodes to communicate to add/
delete cells to one another in their TSCH schedule.

Internet-Draft 6TiSCH Terminology March 2018
6P Transaction: Part of 6P, the action of two neighbors exchanging a
6P request message and the corresponding 6P response
message.
ASN (Absolute Slot Number): The total number of timeslots that have
elapsed since the PAN coordinator has started the TSCH
network. Incremented by one at each timeslot. It is
wide enough to not roll over in practice.
