Organization: IEEE
Publication Date: 7 December 2016
Status: active
Page Count: 52
scope:

The scope of this standard is to define the Media Access Control (MAC) Service provided by all IEEE 802® MACs, and the Internal Sublayer Service (ISS) provided within MAC Bridges, in abstract terms of the following:

a) Their semantics, primitive actions, and events; and

b) The parameters of, interrelationship between, and valid sequences of these actions and events.
