Integration of 6LoWPAN into IP networksdraft-cansever-6lowpan-integration-00.txt Derya Cansever Geoff Mulligan Carl Williams
Integration of 6lowpan networks • The integration of 6lowpan networks with the Internet and wireless infrastructure networks increases the network capacity, coverage area and application domains. • We provide various integration scenarios and discuss associated issues with such deployments. • Work was funded by DoD project: “IPv6 Support for Net-Centric Operations Warfare”
Scenario 1 • Goal: To monitor an area using a set of networked sensors. • Sensor Network is deployed in a remote area (No direct connectivity to the outside world) • An end user monitors the situation. Army Network B Marine Network A Stationary sensor network Stationary sensor network
Scenario 2 • Unlike the previous scenario, the Sensor Network can be physically moving. Network D Network C Network B Network A Moving sensor network Moving sensor network
Connectivity Strategy for remote 6lowpan network Wide Area IP Network Marine Network A SEND enabled router NEMO client support LoWPAN Border Router LoWPAN Wireless Sensor Nodes
Conclusion • 6LoWPAN networks may be deployed remotely in non-traditional scenarios. • The IP layer has new requirements to be able to provide access to these 6LoWPAN networks via changing access networks and to do so in a secure manner. • The usage of SeND and NEMO protocols allows 6LoWPAN networks to be fully integrated into a dynamic mobile hetergenous network for ensuring global reachability to the individual 6LoWPAN nodes.
