Abstract

In this chapter, we present the results of a research project that was developed in ST with key partners over several years. It is an energy-harvested, self-healing, secured IPv6 Wireless Sensor & Actuator Network (WSAN), designed for indoor environments. Pairing and installation have been taken into account to propose a complete system solution. GreenNet has demonstrated that it is possible to achieve autonomy with upcoming radio generations. However, this is possible only if certain cross-layer optimizations are performed throughout the software stack. Details and results are provided along the chapter.

Footnotes
1
Minimum Active Period = 60 Symbols × 16 μs × 16 slots = 15.36 ms
Maximum Beacon Interval = 214 Symbols × 16 μs × 16 slots = ~4.2 min.
 
2
DODAG : Destination Object Directed Assisted Graph.
 
3
A node uses routing tables for forwarding packets to leafs.
 
4
DAO (Destination Advertisement Object): upward messages sent to create downward routes (see Winter et al. 2012).
 
5
We did not succeed in implementing RPL and ContikiMAC (Dunkels et al. 2011) within a typical 8 KB RAM low End MCU.
 
6
During this flooding, each router creates also a reverse path inserting in its routing table the next hop to ER (actually next-hop in upward direction is always the parent).
 
7
During this phase each router creates also the downward route for the destination of interest.
 
8
While the upper bound on message length for CCM does exist, for practical purposes in IEEE 802.15.4 WSN it can be considered arbitrarily large.
