Protocol Architecture
As mentioned, the USB model is preserved, and generally minor adjustments made to fit the specific needs of a wireless system. The changes are as follows, from top to bottom:
- The function layer only suffers minor changes to increase efficiency and support isochronism.
- The device layer includes wireless-oriented security and device management features.
- The bus layer does not change its functionality, but is substantially adapted for efficiency and security on wireless networks.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument, that makes a poem,—a thought so passionate and alive, that, like the spirit of a plant or an animal, it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
