Index

Describes the electrical and/or optical and physical characteristics of the transmission medium, the electrical or optical signaling method used, the frame formats transmitted, actions of a station upon receipt of a frame, servicers provided at the conceptual interface between the Medium Access Control, sublayer and the Logical Link Control sublayer above it, and the actions, entities, and values used to manage the MAC sublayer and Physical Layer Entity. The operation of a station is specified in terms of the layered model.
