Abstract

This specification defines a sophisticated Logical Link Control Protocol for the WiMedia radio platform based on the standard ECMA 368 [1] and the draft WiMedia Logical Link Control Protocol Specification: Draft 1.08.4 [2]. Our proposal for the Logical Link Control, referred to as WLP - (W)ireless (L)ogical Link Control (P)rotocol, allows a very easy and smooth implementation for an IEEE 802.2 and ECMA 368 to IPv6 connectivity. In contrast to [1] and [2] there are a lot of improvements like a more efficient association and disassociation procedure and simplified information structures. Furthermore a fundamental new specification for a Device Management Entity (DME) (announced in [1] but not specified there) will be introduced, which provides several management and maintenance functions to connect WLP, the Medium Access Control (MAC) and the Application.
