Hi all, I understand that reference IEEE 802.15.4 includes IEEE802.15.4e by definition. But I have a problem in writing 6TiSCH draft if we remove "e" in reference. Here is an example. "A 10ms time slot length is the default value defined by [IEEE802154e]. Section 6.4.3.3.3 of [IEEE802154e] defines a default macTimeslotTemplate,...." is in the section 3.4 of minimal draft. Then, the question is how to point the exact place if we use IEEE 802.15.4 as reference. ThanksQin

There are known similar technologies running over 2006 but they are not 4e... The undated reference in an RFC to an IEEE spec applies to the present state at the date of the RFC and to all future versions unless the RFC is revised. This proved useful for Ethernet; too much maybe since we were fooled into extending IP over Ethernet to Wi-Fi...
