Mesh Routing underneath to IPv6 Layer Application Application Application Transport Transport Transport IPv6 IPv6 IPv6 Adaptation Adaptation Adaptation 802.15.4 MAC 802.15.4 MAC 802.15.4 MAC PHY PHY PHY
LoWPAN Optimizations • Sub-IP Routing • Allows efficient header compression, smaller route tables • Use EUI-64 or 16 bit addresses • Use prot_type field to indicate AODV control messages instead of UDP ports • Utilization of 6lowpan characteristics • Use the route cost by utilizing the LQI of the 6LoWPAN PHY • Allow multiple schemes such as hop counts, aggregated LQI values, and minimum LQI value along a route • Hello messages are not used, instead use 802.15.4 link layer mechanisms such as ACKs, beacon responses, overhearing packets, etc • Use broadcast in the route discovery
LoWPAN Optimizations II • Minimize power consumption and complexity • Do not use the destination sequence number • Only destination Replies to RREQ by RREP • Do not use the local repair • Report back to the originator by RERR upon a link break • Do not maintain the precursorlist • Send RERR only to the originator of the data which caused the link break • Utilize Efficient RERR reporting • Reuse existing specs, such as AODV and DYMO, as much as possible
Summary • Feedback is welcome.
