This recommended practice contains a conceptual model and a standard terminology for ad hoc network communication at the nanoscale. More specifically, this recommended practice contains: a) the definition of nanoscale communication networking; b) the conceptual model for ad hoc nanoscale communication networking; c) the common terminology for nanoscale communication networking, including: 1) the definition of a nanoscale communication channel highlighting the fundamental differences from a macroscale channel; 2) abstract nanoscale communication channel interfaces with nanoscale systems; 3) performance metrics common to ad hoc nanoscale communication networks; 4) the mapping between nanoscale and traditional communication networks, including necessary high-level components such as a map of major components: coding and packets, addressing, routing, localization, layering, and reliability;
