stds-80220-requirements: 802.20 Reference Model
Hi,
I propose to adopt the MBWA-Specific Reference Model and its
explanation from the attachment, that will replace 5.1.1.
Reasons for that are:
- 802.1 bridging, in Fig. 2, is actually beyond the standard;
including it in the standard scope will make the radio behave
as a Ethernet bridge and will have implications in frame
headers (look at 802.11 MAC, carrying if I remember well,
up to four Ethernet addresses in the frame header);
- 802.1 Management, in Fig. 2 is actually insufficient for access
systems, being suitable only for LAN and WLAN systems;
- Security functions are not shown;
- Management functions and their interaction with
MAC/PHY/Security is not shown;
- PHY interaction with the radio deployment is not shown.
