IEEE 802.15.5-2009 PDF
The scope of this standard is to provide a recommended practice to provide the architectural framework enabling WPAN devices to promote interoperable, stable, and scaleable wireless mesh topologies and, if needed, to provide the amendment text to the current WPAN standards that is required to implement this recommended practice.
The purpose of this project is to facilitate wireless mesh topologies optimized for IEEE 802.15 WPANs. Mesh Topology provides the following features to WPANs: – Extension of network coverage without increasing the transmit power or the receiver sensitivity – Enhanced reliability via route redundancy – Easier network configuration – Better device battery life
