Presentation Transcript

  1. Design and Application Spaces for 6LoWPAN (draft-ekim-6lowpan-scenarios-01) IETF-70 Vancouver Wednesday, December 5th 2007 1300 – 1500 Afternoon Session I Eunsook Kim, Nicolas Chevrollier, Dominik Kaspar, JP Vasseur

  2. Goal of design and application spaces draft • Goal: • This is an Recommendation for 6LoWPAN applications • Documents how 6LoWPAN networks deploy and list *main* characteristics (e.g. topology, security, traffic pattern, …) • Non Goal: • We are not trying to provide an EXHAUSTIVE description of the all possible deployments

  3. In the last meeting • Major parameters • Deployment (Manual vs. Automatic, Addressing Mechanism dynamic configuration, battery/mains power) • Network Size (10, 100, 1000, …) • Routing (Topology, Single-hop, Multi-hop, data centric, event driven, address centric, localization based) • Mobility (fixed vs. moving) • Connectivity (always connected, intermittent, sporadic) • Security/ Threat model • Scenarios • Structure Monitoring • Healthcare • Vehicular Networks • Agricultural Monitoring

  4. Update (-01) • Four Parameters are added • Security Level • Power Source • QoS • Traffic Pattern

  5. Update (-01) • Four Scenarios are updated based on the added parameters • Two scenarios are added • Industrial Monitoring • Connected Home

  6. Industrial Monitoring (1/2) • Application fields • Process Monitoring and Control • Machine Surveillance • Supply Chain Management and Asset Tracking • Storage Monitoring • Ex: • Various sensor measurements together with controllers and actuators • gas pressure • the flow of liquids and gases • room temperature and humidity • tank charging levels • to improve a plant's productivity in a continuous self-controlling loop

  7. Industrial Monitoring (2/2) • Dominant Parameters • Deployment: pre-planned, manually attached • Mobility: no (except Asset Tracking) • Network size: medium to large • Power source: battery-operated • Security level: high • Routing: multi-hop, highly event-driven • Connectivity: always on for crucial case, otherwise intermitted • QoS: important • Traffic pattern: P2P (actuator control), MP2P (data collection)

  8. Connected Home • Application fields • Home safety/security • Home automation and control • Healthcare • Smart appliances • Dominant Parameters • Deployment: multi-hop topologies • Mobility: small degree of mobility • Network size: medium number of nodes, potentially high density • Power Source: mix of battery and AC powered • Security level: authentication and encryption required • Routing: no requirement for multi-topology or QoS routing • Connectivity: intermittent (usage-dependent sleep modes) • QoS: support of limited QoS (small number of Class of Service) • Traffic Pattern: P2P (inter-device), P2MP and MP2P (polling)

  9. Questions and Future work • WG feed-back on the document very much welcome • Does the WG agree that such a document is useful? • If so, what can be the next step for the ID? (more scenarios? More detail description? etc.)
