The Analysis of 6LowPAN Technology

IPv6 over IEEE802.15.4 (a.k.a. 6LowPAN), has become the standard for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPAN). IPv6 is taken as an interconnection scheme for IEEE802.15.4 equipments at network layer, 6LowPAN technology has attracted extensive attention. This paper introduced IEEE802.15.4 standard and 6LowPAN technology, discussed 6LowPAN's advantages, analyzed its key technologies, and the applications of 6LowPAN were explored.
