scope:

This standard defines a common yet another next generation (YANG) (IETF RFC 7950) data model for IEEE 1906.1 nanoscale communication systems.

Purpose

The YANG data model defines a common network management and configuration data model for nanoscale communication systems. In so doing, it fulfills several purposes:

- It enforces requirements to conform to IEEE Std 1906.1™-2015.

- It describes nanoscale communication systems.

- It represents the fundamental physics impacting IEEE 1906.1 systems.

- It defines configuration and management for simulation and analysis.

- It defines a self-describing data structure used in repositories of nanoscale communication experimental data.

A standard network, management, and configuration data model enables efficient understanding and use of IEEE 1906.1 systems and simulations. A standard data model is needed to ensure that systems and simulations conform to IEEE Std 1906.1-2015. A standard data model is also needed to serve as human and machine-readable documentation of IEEE 1906.1 systems. Because small-scale communication systems interact directly with nanoscale physics, a data model is needed that represents fundamental physics. A common data model is needed to accurately and fairly compare IEEE 1906.1 systems. Repositories of experimental data from small-scale communication systems require clear and accurate documentation for the data to be meaningful. This common data model provides a self-describing data model that addresses this purpose.
