Scope
This recommended practice contains a conceptual model and a standard terminology for ad hoc network communication at the nanoscale. More specifically@ this recommended practice contains: a) the definition of nanoscale communication networking b) the conceptual model for ad hoc nanoscale communication networking c) the common terminology for nanoscale communication networking@ including: 1) the definition of a nanoscale communication channel highlighting the fundamental differences from a macroscale channel 2) abstract nanoscale communication channel interfaces with nanoscale systems 3) performance metrics common to ad hoc nanoscale communication networks 4) the mapping between nanoscale and traditional communication networks@ including necessary high-level components such as a map of major components: coding and packets@ addressing@ routing@ localization@ layering@ and reliability. Purpose A common framework greatly aids in communicating ideas among researchers from diverse fields and developing useful simulators for nanoscale communication. This includes interconnecting systems of multiple types of nanoscale simulators. A common abstract model enables theoretical progress to proceed from different disciplines with a common language. This framework serves as a recommended practice for additional nanoscale communication networking standards as industry becomes more involved in commercial integration of the technology. Nanoscale communication standards are needed by the biomedical industry to create break-through diagnostic and treatment methods. Technical discussions and establishment of standards in nanoscale communications are impaired by lack of a common conceptual model and common nomenclature. This standard will enable research and development in this area by focusing industry and academia on a common conceptual model@ common language@ and nomenclature for nanoscale communications. IEEE Std 1906.1 will allow a family of standards to be developed that will lead to creation of the nanoscale communications mechanisms for various applications. The stakeholders are broad@ including the telecommunications industry@ computer industry@ biological and medical devices industry@ and material science-related industries as some of the most obvious beneficiaries.
