Title: IEEE  P2857- Standard for Wireless Smart Utility Network Field Area Network

Scope: This standard describes a complete communications specification, encompassing layers 1 to 4 of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) network model, for a secure, wireless mesh communication network, using open communication and cybersecurity standards from standards organizations including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The standard describes the functionality of the physical (PHY), medium access control (MAC, the network, and transport layers as well as security parameters including the format of certificates for a highly scalable and secure wireless mesh network for critical infrastructure IPv6 wireless communication networks.
