Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs)
draft-sajjad-6lo-wban-00
Abstract
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) intend to facilitate use cases
related to medical field. IEEE 802.15.6 defines PHY and MAC layer
and is designed to deal with better penetration through the human
tissue without creating any damage to human tissues with the approved
MICS (Medical Implant Communication Service) band by USA Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Devices in WBANs conform to this
IEEE standard.
This specification defines details to enable transmission of IPv6
packets, method of forming link-local and statelessly autoconfigured
IPv6 addresses on WBANs.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute
working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-
Drafts is at http://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
This Internet-Draft will expire on December 15, 2017.
