The

emerging technology, the standard is designed to encourage innovation by reaching consensus on a common definition, terminology, framework, goals, metrics, and use-cases that encourage innovation and enable the technology to advance at a faster rate. The draft passed an initial sponsor balloting with comments on January 2, 2015. The comments were addressed by the working group and the resulting draft ballot passed again on August 17, 2015. Finally, additional material regarding SBML
was contributed and the final draft passed again on October 15, 2015. The draft standard was approved by IEEE RevCom in the final quarter of 2015.

biological sciences.[3]

Content

Electronic components such as

cell-surface interactions as viewed by biologists versus non-biologists has been a topic of debate. The interface is viewed as a communication channel, whereas the 'receptor-signaling-gene expression
' events are the network.

The draft currently comprises: definition, terminology, framework, metrics, use-cases, and reference code (ns-3).[4]

The standard provides a very broad foundation and encompasses all approaches to nanoscale communication. While there have been many superficial academic attempts to classify nanoscale communication approaches, the standard considers two fundamental approaches: waves and particles. This includes any hybrid of the two as well as quasiparticles.

A unique contribution of the standard is an

ns-3
reference model that enables users to build upon the standard components.

Definition

  • A precise definition of
    nanoscale networking

Terminology

  • Common terminology for nanoscale networking
    • Nanoscale communication networking is a highly
      interdisciplinary
      endeavor. A clear, common language is required so that interdisciplinary researchers can work smoothly together and minimize cross-discipline misunderstanding due to the common definitions that are defined differently in different fields. The P1906.1 working group has reached consensus on common definitions unique to nanoscale communication networks.

Framework

  • A framework for ad hoc nanoscale networking
    • There is a pressing need for a conceptual model of nanoscale networks. A standardized platform for nanoscale communication network simulation is needed. Researchers are developing simulation models and packages for components related to nanoscale communication networks; however the simulation components are not interoperable, even at a conceptual level. The IEEE P1906.1 working group has adopted a nanoscale communication framework that addresses this need. The result of the framework is known as the standard model.

Metrics

Use-Cases

  • Specific example applications of the standard
    • Specific use-cases of nanoscale communication implemented using the P1906.1 definition and framework are provided. A standard mapping between a use-case, or implementation, and the standard model of the framework allows a brief summary of the information required about a use-case to understand its relevance to a nanoscale communication network.

Reference model

  • Reference code to model the recommended practice is in development
    • nanoscale
      has been developed.

Applications

Applications are numerous, however, there appears to be strong emphasis on medical and biological use-cases in nanomedicine.

Simulation software

The IEEE P1906.1 working group is developing

ns-3 nanoscale simulation software that implements the IEEE 1906.1 standard and serves as a reference model and base for development of a wide-variety of interoperable small-scale communication physical layer models.[9]

Literature review

The Best Readings on nanoscale communication networks provides good background information related to the standard.[10] The Topics section breaks down the information using the standard approach.[11]

Building on IEEE 1906.1

IEEE 1906.1 is the foundation for nanoscale communication. Additional standards are expected to build upon it.

IEEE 1906.1.1 Standard Data Model for Nanoscale Communication Systems The Standard Data Model for Nanoscale Communication Systems defines a network management and configuration data model for nanoscale communication.[12] This data model has several goals:

  • Ensure compliance with IEEE 1906.1-2015
  • Describe the essence of nanoscale communication
  • Capture fundamental physics of IEEE 1906.1-2015
  • Define configuration and management of simulation and experimental systems
  • Provide a self-describing data structure for experimental data.

The data model is written in YANG and will enable remote configuration and operation of nanoscale communication over the Internet using NETCONF.
