An IPv6 Energy-Harvested WSN Demonstrator Compatible with Indoor Applications

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.
