6LoWPAN - The Wireless Embedded Internet

This book provides an overview of the 6LoWPAN standard, architecture and related wireless and Internet technology for students and engineers. Starting first with an overview of the IPv6 Internet of Things, readers are given a comprehensive understanding how these technologies fit together into an architecture. The 6LoWPAN protocol format is then explained in detail. Subsequently building and operation of 6LoWPAN networks are covered, including bootstrapping, routing, security, Internet ingration, mobility and application protocols. In addition the emerging IP-based ISA100 standard for wireless industrial automation is introduced. Finally the implementation aspects of 6LoWPAN are covered. The book has accompanying course slides along with open-source code and exercises, perfect for teachers and students along with engineers.§ Provides an overview of the 6LoWPAN standard, architecture and related wireless and Internet technology§ Includes coverage of ISA100; a specific full-stack standards development that picks up the 6LoWPAN specification§ Details operational topics such as bootstrapping, routing, security, Internet integration, mobility and application protocols§ Written by authors with vast experience in the field (industrial and academic)§ Includes an accompanying website containing tutorial slides and open-source code with examples
