Host: Kris Pister
The Internet of Things revolution is quietly coming, and with it an epochal turnpoint in wireless network design. Major standardization bodies have been looking at how wireless multi-hop networks should operate reliably (IEEE 802.15.4E, IETF RPL), how they can integrate within the Internet (IETF 6LoWPAN), and how utilities and end users should interact (OpenADR). All of these standards are being finalized. The goal of the OpenWSN project introduced in this talk is to federate these standards into a functional protocol stack, to implement it on a number of hardware and software platforms, and to test the resulting network in building monitoring applications. This talk will highlight the challenges faced by indoor wireless multi-hop networks, before showing how communication protocols and standards can address these. The OpenWSN project will be used as an example implementation.
