The scope of this standard is the specification of medium access control (MAC) sublayer functions and services that support multi-channel wireless connectivity between IEEE 802.11 Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) devices. The purpose of this standard is to enable effective mechanisms that control the operation of upper layer data transfers across multiple channels, without requiring knowledge of physical layer (PHY) parameters, and describe the multi-channel operation channel routing and switching for different scenarios. Revision Standard - Active. Multi-channel wireless radio operations, Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) mode, medium access control (MAC), and physical layers (PHYs), including parameters for priority access, channel switching and routing, management services, and primitives designed for multi-channel operations are described in this standard.
