KRNET 2005 12/29 Why IP (1/2) Most of the IP based technologies already exist, well known and proven to be working. The pervasive nature of IP networks allows use of existing infrastructure. Intellectual property conditions for IP networking technology is either more favourable or at least better understood than proprietary and newer solutions.

KRNET 2005 13/29 New Radio Why IP (2/2) Barriers Risk Mitigation to deployment New CSMA/CA MAC only CSMS/CA MAC plus GTS/Beaconing AODV New Network and IP AODV plus Cluster Tree New Sockets API and Zigbee SNMPAPI plus ZDOs New Application Vs.

KRNET 2005 14/29 IPv6 Why IPv6 Pros: More suitable for higher density (futuristically 2 orders of magnitude larger than traditional networks) Statelessness mandated No NAT necessary (adds extra cost to the cost prohibitive WSN) Possibility of adding innovative techniques such as location aware addressing IEEE 64 bit address subsumed into IPv6 address Cons: Larger address width (Having efficient address compression schemes may alleviate this con) Complying to IPv6 node requirements (IPSec is mandated) IPv4 Limited address space Not as compressible NAT functionality needs gateways, etc leads to more cost Statelessness not mandated

KRNET 2005 15/29 IETF Stuff Related Works (Standard) A new BOF was held during 61 st IETF at D.C. 6lowpan (IPv6 over IEEE 802.15.4) Invensys, Hellicom, Intel, Sun, Panasonic An official Working Group begun on March of this year. http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/6lowpan-charter.html Motivations Business aspect of several company leading embedded wireless networking (e.g., homenetwork, sensor network, home control. Etc.) Intel has been looking into sensor networks it originally was looking into ZigBee Emphasized vision of Invensys is not about smart home pejorative term, but more about convenient home!

KRNET 2005 16/29 Characteristics of 6lowpan Related Works (Standard) Small packet size ( at most 81 octets for data packets) MAC (16-bit / 64-bit) Low bandwidth/power/cost Topologies (star and mesh) Ad-Hoc fashion Inexpensive modules Low Cost Low Power Consumption Internet connectivity Open standard
