Hi Frank, From D0.01 of 802.11s: IEEE P802.11s/D0.01, March 2006 Copyright © 2006 IEEE. All rights reserved. This is an unapproved IEEE Standards Draft, subject to change. Insert the following new definitions alphabetically, renumbering as necessary: 3.x WLAN Mesh: A WLAN Mesh is an IEEE 802.11-based WDS which is part of a DS, consisting of a set of two or more Mesh Points interconnected via IEEE 802.11 links and communicating via the WLAN Mesh Services. A WLAN Mesh may support zero or more entry points (Mesh Portals), automatic topology learning and dynamic path selection (including across multiple hops). 3.x WLAN Mesh Services: The set of services provided by the WLAN Mesh that support the control, management, and operation of the WLAN Mesh, including the transport of MSDUs between Mesh Points within the WLAN Mesh. WLAN Mesh Services supplement DSS (Distribution System Services). 3.x Mesh Point (MP): Any IEEE 802.11 entity that contains an IEEE 802.11–conformant Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) interface to the Wireless Medium (WM), that is within a WLAN Mesh, and that supports WLAN Mesh Services. 3.x Mesh AP (MAP): Any Mesh Point that is also an Access Point. 3.x Mesh Portal (MPP): A point at which MSDUs exit and enter a WLAN Mesh to and from other parts of a DS or to and from a non-802.11 network. A Mesh Portal can be collocated with an IEEE 802.11 portal. 3.x Mesh Link: A bidirectional IEEE 802.11 link between two Mesh Points. 3.x Link Metric: A criterion used to characterize the performance/quality/eligibility of a mesh link as a member of a mesh path. A mesh link metric may be used in a computation of a path metric. 3.x Mesh Path: A concatenated set of connected Mesh Links from a source Mesh Point to a destination Mesh Point. 3.x Mesh Path Selection: The process of selecting Mesh Paths. 3.x Path Metric: Criterion used for Mesh Path Selection. 3.x Mesh Topology: A graph consisting of the full set of Mesh Points and Mesh Links in a WLAN Mesh. 3.x Mesh Neighbor: Any Mesh Point that is directly connected to another Mesh Point with a Mesh Link. 3.x Mesh Unicast: Frame forwarding 1 mechanism for transporting MSDUs to an individual Mesh Point within a WLAN Mesh. 3.x Mesh Multicast: Frame forwarding mechanism for transporting MSDUs to a group of Mesh Points within a WLAN Mesh. 3.x Mesh Broadcast: Frame forwarding mechanism for transporting MSDUs to all Mesh Points within a WLAN Mesh. While 802.11s extends outdoors, 802.11j extended 802.11 outdoors for licensed and unlicensed. 802.11y 3650 MHz is Part 90 licensed fixed and mobile. petere
