6 Lo Wpan Tutorial 20080206
This document provides an overview of 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks), which allows IP to be implemented on IEEE 802.15.4 low-power wireless networks. It describes how 6LoWPAN compresses IPv6 and higher-level protocol headers to address constraints of low-power wireless networks like small packet sizes. Key techniques include header compression, mesh routing at the link layer under the IP topology, and leveraging existing IP standards to meet requirements of long device lifetimes on limited energy in highly embedded environments.
