The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has intensified the need for robust and efficient communication protocols, particularly in low power and lossy networks (LLNs) where devices are ...

The routing of data from source to sink is an integral part of any large-scale wireless sensing and Internet of Things (IoT) solution. Unplugged and/or mobile embedded devices used in such low-powered ...

One glaring problem with IPv4 is that it supports only 4.2 billion possible addresses while, by some estimates, the number of internet-connected devices is expected to grow to 28.5 billion by 2022.

The approach would enable systems of low-power embedded devices to be connected and managed seamlessly under the IP umbrella regardless of the type of physical links on which they are connected. A new ...

An IETF working group headed by execs at Cisco and wireless sensor company Arch Rock is looking to optimize a routing protocol for wireless networks that have limited power, memory and processing ...

6LoWPAN consists of low power devices hat conform to IEEE 802.15.4 and uses the address scheme of IPV6. It is defined by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). It enables the integration of IPV6 and ...
