  1. TinyOS – Time to ROLL(Routing over Low power and Lossy Networks) David E. Culler 1st European TinyOS Technology Exchange TTX VI Feb 10, 2009

  2. A decade ago… ETTX

  3. Traditional Systems • Well established layers of abstractions • Strict boundaries • Ample resources • Independent Applications at endpoints communicate pt-pt through routers • Well attended Application Application User System Network Stack Transport Threads Network Address Space Data Link Files Physical Layer Drivers Routers ETTX

  4. by comparison, WSNs ... • Highly Constrained resources • processing, storage, bandwidth, power • Applications spread over many small nodes • self-organizing Collectives • highly integrated with changing environment and network • communication is fundamental • Concurrency intensive in bursts • streams of sensor data and network traffic • Robust • inaccessible, critical operation • Unclear where the boundaries belong • even HW/SW will move • => Provide a framework for: • Resource-constrained concurrency • Defining boundaries • Appl’n-specific processing and power management • allow abstractions to emerge ETTX

  5. Internet Research Perspective…then • “Resource constraints may cause us to give up the layered architecture.” • “Sheer numbers of devices, and their unattended deployment, will preclude reliance on broadcast communication or the configuration currently needed to deploy and operate networked devices.” • “There are significant robustness and scalability advantages to designing applications using localized algorithms.” • “Unlike traditional networks, a sensor node may not need an identity (e.g. address).” • “It is reasonable to assume that sensor networks can be tailored to the application at hand.” ETTX

  6. (including runtime) And Now: Complete IPv6 in TinyOS • Footprint, power, packet size, & bandwidth * Production implementation on TI msp430/cc2420 ETTX

  15. A Low-Power Standard Link • Low Transmit power, Low SNR, modest BW, Little Frames • Reined in the Phy Chaos, allowed MAC chaos to Reign ETTX

  16. Key Developments • Event Driven Execution closely tied to storage mgmt • reliable concurrency, small footprint, and low-power usage • Idle listening • Radio power: transmit ≈ receive≈ just listening • All the energy is consumed by listening for a packet to receive • E = P*Time => Turn radio on only when there is something to hear • Reliable routing on Low-Power & Lossy Links • Power, Range, Obstructions => multi-hop • Always at edge of SNR => loss happens => monitoring, retransmission, and local rerouting • Trickle – don’t flood (tx rate < 1/density, and < info change) • Connectivity is determined by physical points of interest, not network designer. May have huge number of neighbors, so … • never naively respond to a broadcast, re-broadcast very very politely ETTX

  17. 128 bits Prefix IID ICMPv6 IPv6 Base HbH Opt Routing Fragment Dst Opt Meanwhile: Key IPv6 Contributions • Large simple address • Network ID + Interface ID • Plenty of addresses, easy to allocate and manage • Autoconfiguration and Management • ICMPv6 • Integrated bootstrap and discovery • Neighbors, routers, DHCP • Protocol options framework • Plan for extensibility • Simplify for speed • MTU discovery with min • 6-to-4 translation for compatibility ETTX

  18. 40 B + options 1280 Bytes MIN 128 Bytes MAX IPv6 over 802.15.4: Not an obvious fit UDP datagram or TCP stream segment …, modbus, BacNET/IP, … , HTML, XML, …, ZCL transport header application payload Network packet net payload cls flow len hops NH src IP dst IP 16 B 16 B ?

  21. 6LoWPAN – IP Header Optimization Network packet • Eliminate all fields in the IPv6 header that can be derived from the 802.15.4 header in the common case • Source address : derived from link address • Destination address : derived from link address • Length : derived from link frame length • Traffic Class & Flow Label : zero • Next header : UDP, TCP, or ICMP • Additional IPv6 options follow as options 40 B net payload cls flow len hops NH src IP dst IP Link frame 3 B len hops src UID ctrl dst UID chk 6LoWPAN adaptation header ETTX

  22. Energy Consumption Analysis * * Payload Δ Energy Δ for fixed payload ETTX

  23. Multi-Hop Communication => Routing • Short-range radios & Obstructions => Multi-hop Communication is often required • i.e. Routing and Forwarding • That is what IP does! • “Mesh-under”: multi-hop communication at the link layer • Still needs routing to other links or other PANs • “Route-over”: IP routing within the PAN => ROLL PAN ETTX

  24. IP Link ⇒ Broadcast Domain Structured Decomposition Retain strict modularity Some key cross-layer visibility IPv6 can support a semi-broadcast link with few changes Retain illusion even when always off Retain best-effort reliability over unreliable links Embedded IPv6 in Concept IP Link ⇒ Always On IP Link ⇒ “Reliable” ETTX

  31. So what’s Next? ETTX

  32. Rein in the Chaos – by layers ETTX

  33. Y-A-MAC? • Yet-Another-MAC layer? • If it is REALLY going to be a standard • Interoperability ‘within the PAN’ requires compatible MACs. • 802.15.4 left a big hole • Beaconing doesn’t work • No low power defined for FFD • Perhaps the research community should stop “differentiating” and step forward to make one MAC stick • Frame formats are not “up for debate” • Visibility @ Link / Net Interface ETTX

  34. Routing - really • At layer 3 • Not 2, not 7, 3! • Implemented with routing table, forwarder, and well-defined protocols • Packets, States, Actions • ROLL working group in IETF • Application “requirements” • Excellent Protocol Survey • Entering actual work phase ETTX

  35. ROLL Internet Drafts • draft-ietf-roll-protocols-survey-052009-01-26   • draft-ietf-roll-terminology-00 2008-10-27   • draft-ietf-roll-building-routing-reqs-05 2009-02-04   • draft-ietf-roll-home-routing-reqs-062008-11-19   • draft-ietf-roll-indus-routing-reqs-042009-01-22   • draft-ietf-roll-urban-routing-reqs-032009-01-08  ETTX

  36. The Heart of ROLL ETTX

  37. Transport • Crazy not to support UDP and TCP • Do we enter a TCP for LLNs renaissance? • Do we define a new transport? • What is the “embedded sockets API?” ETTX

  38. Issues in Communication Abstraction • Names • What are they? • What do they mean? What is their scope? • How are they allocated? • How are they translated into useful properties • Address? Physical Resource? • Storage • Transmit • When can it be reused? How do you know? What do you do when it is full? • Receive • When is it allocated? Reclaimed? By whom? What happens when it overflows? • Asynchronous event • How do you know that something has arrived? ETTX

  39. Answers: Naming • TinyOS Active Messages • TOS_local_addr, 16 bits, only within “a network”, allocated at program download time • Scope limited to TOS_group, within PAN, Channel, and physical extent. • The standards that try to do it all with IEEE 802.15.4 16 bit short address are not much better • IP Architecture • Link name: IEEE 802.15.4 => EUID64 & SA16 • EUID64 globally unique, SA16 assigned to be unique over the PAN • Net name: IP address • Prefix | Interface Id • Must be unique within routability extent • Several IP address: Link Local, Global, Multicast, … • Service name: Port • Hostname Translated to IP by DNS ETTX

  40. Answers: Storage • TinyOS Active Messages • Sender app allocates send buffer, OS owns it till sendDone event • OS provides App with recv buffer, app must return it or a replacement • BSD Sockets • Sender app allocate buffer, copied to kernel on send • Receiver allocates buffer and passes pointer to kernel, kernel copies • Additional sets of buffer managed within the kernel • TinyOS Sockets ??? ETTX

  41. Example: UDP Interface interface Udp { command error_t bind( uint16_t port ); command uint16_t getMaxPayloadLength( const sockaddr_in6_t *to ); command error_t sendto( const void *buf, uint16_t len, const sockaddr_in6_t *to ); event void recvfrom( void *buf, uint16_t len, sockaddr_in6_t *from, link_metadata_t *metadata ); } • Wiring to a UDP interface is enough for sendto – no allocate • Standard Unix sockaddr_in6_t • Bind – associates the component that uses the interface with the port • Starts receiving whatever datagrams come in on it • Sendto sends a datagram from a buf to an IP destination • Neighbor, intra-PAN, inter-network (wherever it needs to go!) • Linklocal address is 1-hop neighbor • Pan-wide routable prefix • Error when not in network or overrun transmit resources • Recvfrom gets a buffer with a datagram and metadata about it • Able to fill the 15.4 frame without knowing details of header compression ETTX

  42. Example: UDP echo service configuration EchoUdpC { } implementation { components KernelC; components EchoUdpP as EchoP; EchoP.Boot -> KernelC.Boot; EchoP.Udp -> KernelC.Udp0; } module EchoUdpP { uses interface Boot, Udp; } implementation { event void Boot.booted() { call Udp.bind( ECHO_PORT ); /* bind to port 7 */ } event void Udp.recvfrom( void *buf, uint16_t len, sockaddr_in6_t *from, link_metadata_t *linkmsg ) { call Udp.sendto( buf, len, from ); /* echo msg back */ } } ETTX

  43. And what about TCP • UDP is a datagram transport • Essentially the same as AM • Fits naturally in event-driven model • Can use NesC platform independent data structure to have unambiguous packet formats without hton / ntoh error prone bit twiddling. • But TCP is a stream protocol… ETTX

  44. TCP Interface interface Tcp { command error_t bind(uint16_t port, uint8_t *buf, uint16_t bufsize); event bool accept( sockaddr_in6_t *to ); command error_t connect( const sockaddr_in6_t *to, uint8_t *buf, uint16_t bufsize ); event void connected(); command error_t send( const void *buf, uint16_t len ); event void acked(); event uint16_t recv( void *buf, uint16_t len ); command error_t close( bool force ); event void closed(); } • Transitions of the TCP protocol reflected as events • Recv per segment • Here, appln allocates send buffer but stack manages it. • Send is not split-phase (!!!) ETTX

  45. TCP echo server module EchoTcpP { uses interface Boot, Tcp; } implementation { uint8_t m_buf[ BUF_SIZE ]; /* Transmit buffer */ event void Boot.booted() { call Tcp.bind( ECHO_PORT, m_buf, sizeof(m_buf) ); } event bool Tcp.accept( sockaddr_in6_t *to ) { return TRUE; } event void Tcp.connected() { } event void Tcp.acked() { } event uint16_t Tcp.recv( void *buf, uint16_t len ) { return ( call Tcp.send( buf, len ) == SUCCESS ) : len ? 0; } event void Tcp.closed() { /* setup socket for new connection */ call Tcp.bind( ECHO_PORT, m_buf, sizeof(m_buf) ); } ETTX

  46. TCP Bind Start Timer Start Event-Driven Execution of Services Service request Fire recv ETTX

  47. Ready ReadDone Split-Phase Data Acquisition Sample Read ETTX

  48. Ready Examples - Tasks serviceReq notify Sample fired readDone fired ETTX

  49. HTTP event bool HttpTcp.accept( sockaddr_in6_t *to ) { serverState = LISTENING; return TRUE; } event void HttpTcp.connected() { serverState = CONNECTED; init_pump(); } event uint16_t HttpTcp.recv( void *inbuf, uint16_t len ) { if (httppump(inbuf,len)) { switch (http_method) { case HTTP_GET : signal Http.GETservice (url, uindex); break; case HTTP_POST: signal Http.POSTservice(url, uindex); break; default: call HttpTcp.close( FALSE ); } } return len; } command error_t Http.serviceDone() { call HttpTcp.close( FALSE ); return SUCCESS; } command error_t Http.send( const void *buf, uint16_t len ) { return call HttpTcp.send( buf, len ); } event void HttpTcp.acked() { } event void HttpTcp.closed(){call HttpTcp.bind(port, resp, respLen);} ETTX

  50.
