WiMedia WLP
WLP, formerly known as WiNet, is the WiMedia defined way to carry IEEE 802.3 frames and therefore internet protocols over the wireless link. WLP introduces the concept of a WiMedia Service Set or WSS which is a named group of devices that share a security relationship. WSS was designed to make it easy to form secure ad hoc networks where devices can discover each other and form securely encrypted links.
WLP includes the concept of a bridge which is similar to a Wi-Fi access point. Bridges can easily link to Ethernet, Wi-Fi or any IEEE 802.3 networking technology. There can be several bridges in a WSS, but the usage case for WiMedia IP is expected to be primarily for ad hoc networking.
