Overview
The end work product of the IEEE 802.15.10 Task Group on
Layer 2 Routing (L2R) is the generation of a recommended practice for
routing packets in dynamically changing 802.15.4 wireless networks.
Current
Status
TG10
is awaiting the approval by RevCom, which is on
the agenda for their January 2017 call.
Future
Efforts
Upon
approval by RevCom and SA the draft will be
scheduled for (publication) editing.
TG10
Timeline
The
first meeting of L2R as an Interest Group occurred at the July 2012 Plenary
session in San Diego.
The
first meeting of L2R as a Study Group occurred at the January 2013 Interim
Session in Vancouver. At the May 2013 Interim Session in Waikoloa the draft
PAR and 5C were approved by the 802.15 WG. At the July 2013 Plenary Session
in Geneva the PAR and 5C generated by the L2R Study Group were approved by
the 802 EC.
Interest
and active participation during the Interest Group and Study Group phases
of the L2R activity was consistent, with an average of 20 attendees,
representing more than 15 different entities on average at each of the 7
sessions.
The
first meeting of 802.15.10 as a Task Group occurred at the September 2013
Interim Session in Nanjing. In this meeting, a draft use cases/requirements
document was generated as well as a preliminary timeline and a request for
inputs/presentation from 802.1 during the Joint Session in the November
2013 meeting.
TG10
developed a Technical Guidance Document (TGD) in order to give guidance to
the proposers on what the final proposals are expected to cover/contain.
Preliminary proposals were encouraged to cover as much of the content of
the TGD as possible. In particular, proposers were directed to Section 7.1,
covering the simplified scenario developed specifically for the call for
preliminary proposals, and to provide the performance information requested
in Section 7 based on this scenario. The scenario(s) aide in allowing
everyone to have a common reference in which to compare and contrast the
different proposals.
A
call for preliminary proposals was issued prior to the May 2014 Interim
Session. Four preliminary proposals were heard at the May 2014 Session in
Waikoloa. After hearing the preliminary proposals TG10 continued developing
the scenarios for the Call for Final Proposals. This effort continued for a
few weeks after the May mtg.
The
call for final proposals was issued prior to the July 2014 Plenary Session.
Four proposals, covering the full proposal and partial/preliminary
analysis/data were heard at the July 2014 Session in San Diego. TG10 also
participated in a status update mtg. with 802.1. The next update with 802.1
is scheduled to occur at the November 2014 Plenary Session in San Antonio.
The
call for the 4 final proposals (heard at the July 2014 Plenary Session) to
present final data and performance metric information was issued prior to
the September 2014 Interim Session. A finalized list of performance
metrics, for the proposers to include in their data/analysis presentations
at the September 2014 Interim Session in Athens, was completed and posted
by the task group by the end of July 2014. As part of the next step efforts
an example TOC and processes moving forwards documents were also generated
and discussed during the calls prior to the Athens Session. This later
document compared specific aspects of the 4 proposals w.r.t. the other
proposals and was used to guide TG10 to a baseline proposal.
A
baseline proposal was adopted at the November 2014 Plenary Session in San
Antonio. The contributors agreed to work together to generate a baseline
draft for the group to review prior to the January 2015 Mtg. A high level
summary of the 4 proposals (heard in July) was prepared and presented as an
update to 802.1 during the November 2014 Plenary Session.
At
the January 2015 Interim Session in Atlanta TG10 continued to work on the
draft in preparation for going to Letter Ballot. Security aspects of both
the messaging data and routing data were a major portion of the discussion
at the mtg. Verotiana Rabarijaona was elected by 802.15 TG10 as its Technical
Editor.
Before
the March 2015 Plenary Session in Berlin TG10 prepared and sent out a draft
for a pre-review by TG10, the 802. 15 WG Tech. Editor,
and the 802.15 Tech. Expert Group. This pre-review was used to solicit
comments and feedback on the draft as part of the preparation for going to
Letter Ballot. At the March Plenary TG10 finalized the pre letter ballot
comment resolution and TG10 and the 802.15 WG approved going to Letter
Ballot. The Chair appointed Charlie Perkins as the TG10 Secretary and TG10 affirmed
the selection.

passed and 580 comments were submitted. An additional 270 rogue comments
were also submitted and then accepted by the TG during the May Session.
