IEEE P1906.1 is an IEEE standards working group sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society Standards Development Board whose goal is to develop a definition and common framework for nanoscale and molecular communication. Since this is an emerging technology, the standard is meant to elicit innovation by determining a common definition, terminology, framework, goals, metrics, and use-cases designed to encourage greater innovation and enable the technology to advance at a faster rate. The standard defines the fundamental definition and building blocks of nanoscale communications.
