TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Sikora, Axel A1 - Schappacher, Manuel A1 - Zimmermann, Lukas A1 - Mars, Nidhal T1 - Development of Thread-compatible Open Source Stack T2 - Journal of Physics: Conference Series N2 - The Thread protocol is a recent development based on 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over IEEE 802.15.4), but with extensions regarding a more media independent approach, which – additionally – also promises true interoperability. To evaluate and analyse the operation of a Thread network a given open source 6LoWPAN stack for embedded devices (emb::6) has been extended in order to comply with the Thread specification. The implementation covers Mesh Link Establishment (MLE) and network layer functionality as well as 6LoWPAN mesh under routing mechanism based on MAC short addresses. The development has been verified on a virtualization platform and allows dynamical establishment of network topologies based on Thread's partitioning algorithm.
