    mac802154: basic ieee802.15.4 device structures · 0afd7ad9
    alex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com authored
    The IEEE 802.15.4 Working Group focuses on the standardization of the
    bottom two layers of ISO/OSI protocol stack: Physical (PHY) and MAC.
    The MAC layer provides access control to a shared channel and reliable
    data delivery. The main functions performed by the MAC sublayer are:
    association and disassociation, security control, optional star
    network topology functions, such as beacon generation and Guaranteed
    Time Slots (GTSs) management, generation of ACK frames (if used), and,
    finally, application support for the two possible network topologies
    described in the standard.
    
    This is an initial commit which describes main data structures needed
    for ieee802.15.4 compatible devices representation in the MAC layer.
