6LoWPAN
The benefits of 6LoWPAN include:
– Open, reliable standards
– Transparent Internet integration
– Network maintainability, Global scalability
– End-to-End data flow
• IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Area Networks
• Defined by IETF standards
• Stateless header compression
• Enables standard socket API
• Direct end-to-end Internet integration
•
Interoperability for 6LoWPAN is defined on the IP layer; an end node shall be accessible
over the network / Internet. (“ping”)
•
The 6LoWPAN network protocol is not directly tied to the PHY layer, and alternate PHY
layers (even not radio) can be used as long as the end nodes are accessible over the
network / Internet.

Network Architecture
•
•
•
•
•
6LoWPANs are stub networks
Simple 6LoWPAN
– Single Edge Router
Extended 6LoWPAN
– Multiple Edge Routers
Ad-hoc 6LoWPAN
– No route outside the 6LoWPAN
Internet Integration Issues
– Max Transmission Unit (MTU)
– Application Protocols
– IPv4 interconnectivity
– Firewalls and NATs
– Security

Why sub-1GHz 6LoWPAN?
•
Wireless extension of installed wired IPv6 (Internet devices)
•
10-800m range, Home Area Network range
•
Instant, secure, automatic connections
•
Moderate data rates, 50-200 kbps
•
Very low memory footprint, stack is around 20kB. The Sensinode Nanostack
2.0 Lite 6LoWPAN stack is up to six times smaller than a ZigBee PRO
stack.
15
Main markets
•
The 6LoWPAN network technology is scalable, but obviously not optimum for
all use cases.
•
The focus markets / applications are larger scale networks that require
connection to an IP backbone network. The current version requires mains
power as all the routers must be on to pass message traffic
•
The most relevant cases are, but not limited to:
– Smart metering
– Street lighting
– Industrial automation / monitoring
– Logistics / asset tracking
– Security large scale / commercial
– Military / defense

Application
Tiny Mesh – Sub 1G Software Offering
Powerful multi-hop mesh protocol
• Self configuring
• Bidirectional wireless
communication in a multi-hop mesh
network
• Self healing
• Control and monitoring of individual nodes
• LBT (Listen Before Talk)
• Acknowledge and Retransmission(s) on each hop
• AES 128 encryption in hardware (optional)
• Sub 1 GHz G.S.R. Compliant (865-867 MHz)
Tiny Mesh – Sub 1G Software Offering
• Standard PHY: IEEE 802.15.4g compatible
• Transparent application layer supporting multiple customer protocols, securing interoperability
• Enabling Internet of Things
• Detection of RF tampering (optional)
• Field Proven within AMR, street lighting, home- and building automation since 2008
• No need for network DCU (network organizer) as each module is 100% autonom & is optimizing its own
routing paths
• Path with Least number of jumps and best RSSI decisionmaking in each Router
• Up to 255 hops, no limitations on number of Routers at each hop (4 bytes addressing space)
• Configurable as Router or Gateway via one simple command
• GW directly interfaces CMRI or GPRS/Ethernet bridge directly via UART or RS232/USB levelshifter
• Multiple GWs in same network (no restrictions on number of GWs)
Tiny Mesh – Sub 1G Software Offering
Communication and configuration
• Few electrical connections for easiest in-design: VCC and GND
• One-pin antenna interface
• Two-pin UART serial interface
The UART (with hardware handshake) is used for (optional) configuration and
serial data communication.
Minimum on-site deployment time is secured via self configuring:
• Power up the gateway
Pincompatible
modules for
world-wide
usage
• Build the network by adding nodes with wireless connections to the gateway
• Observe LED indicators to control link quality & path redundancy during installation
• Send data transparently from the nodes to the gateway or:
• Send addressed data or I/O control - commands to any node from the gateway.

TI’s Wireless Smart metering Solutions
TI offers world class support
•

•
•
•
The team in Oslo has 10 years+ experience with RF and can greatly speed up the development
time for the hardware by:
Layout/antenna discussions to find the best solution for a given PCB/product
Layout/Antenna review of the PCB before manufacturing of the PCB
– This greatly increases the probability of a ”right first time” design
When the PCB comes back from manufacturing TI will:
– Verify the RF performance: Output Power and Receiver Sensitivity
– Match the antenna to 50ohm (one shunt and one series element)
– Measure the antenna radiation pattern in 3D and scan for spurious emissions
Software support, our ZigBee software is developed and supported by us
