Annotation

This International Standard specifies a method of reliable and secure wireless operation for noncritical monitoring, alerting, supervisory control, open loop control, and closed loop control applications. This standard defines a protocol suite, including system management, gateway considerations, and security specifications, for low-data-rate wireless connectivity with fixed, portable, and slowly-moving devices, often operating under severe energy and power constraints. The application focus of this standard is the performance needs of process automation monitoring and control, where end-to-end communication delays on the order of 100 ms can be tolerated.

This standard specifies the following:

- physical layer service definition and protocol specification;

- data-link layer service definition and protocol specification;

- network layer service definition and protocol specification;

- transport layer service definition and protocol specification;

- application layer service definition and protocol specification, including support for protocol tunneling and gateways;

- security and security management;

- provisioning and configuration;

- network management;

- and additive communication role profiles (i.e., one or more can be selected concurrently).
