A down-to-earth integration of Named Data Networking in the real-world IoT
International audienceThe IEEE802.15.4 wireless technology is one of the enablers of the Internet of Things. It allows constrained devices to communicate with a satisfactory data rate, payload size and distance range, all with reduced energy consumption. To provide IoT devices with a global Internet identity, 6LoWPAN defines the IPv6 adaptation to communicate over IEEE802.15.4. However, this integration still needs additional protocols to support other IoT requirements, which makes the IP stack in IoT devices more complex and therefore shows the limitations of the IP model to support the needs of future Internet. Named Data Networking represents an alternative that can natively support IoT constraints including mobility, security and human readable data names. This paper is a synthesis of an ongoing work that investigates the integration of NDN with IEEE802.15.4 for constrained IoT devices. The proposed design has been implemented in a real-world smart agriculture scenario, and evaluated by simulation focusing on energy consumption and network overhead in comparison to IP-based protocols

Une Architecture NDN realiste pour l'Internet des Objets
The Internet of Things (IoT) uses the interconnection of billions of small computing devices, called “Things”, to provide access to services and information all over the world. However, the IP protocol suite has been designed decades ago for a completely different purpose, and IoT features now highlight the limitations of IP. While adapting IP for the IoT might be seen as cutting corners, alternative architectures based on the Information Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm promise to natively satisfy emerging Internet applications. One of these architectures is Named Data Networking (NDN). Our objectives through the work reported in this manuscript can be summarized in two aspects. The first objective is to show that NDN is suitable to support IoT networking. The second objective is the design of two solutions for lightweight forwarding in constrained wireless networks.L’Internet des objets (IdO) utilise l’interconnexion de milliards de petits appareils informatiques, appelés «Objets», pour fournir un accès à des services et à des informations partout dans le monde. Cependant, la suite de protocoles IP a été conçue il y a plusieurs décennies dans un but totalement différent, et les fonctionnalités de l’IoT soulignent désormais les limites de l’IP. En parallèle aux efforts d’adaptation de l’IP à l’IdO, des architectures alternatives basées sur les réseaux orientés information promettent de satisfaire nativement les applications Internet émergentes. L’une de ces architectures est appelée réseau de données nommées (NDN). Nos objectifs à travers le travail rapporté dans ce manuscrit peuvent êtrerésumés en deux aspects. Le premier objectif est de montrer que NDN est adapté à la prise en charge des systèmes IdO. Le deuxième objectif est la conception de deux solutions de communication légères pour les réseaux sans fil contraints avec NDN
Modeling and Improving Named Data Networking over IEEE 802.15.4
International audienceNamed Data Networking (NDN) is a promising architecture that aims to natively satisfy emerging applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT). Therefore, enabling NDN in realworld IoT deployments is becoming essential in order to benefit from Information Centric Networking (ICN) features. To design realistic NDN-based communication solutions for IoT, revisiting mainstream technologies such as low-power wireless standards may be the key. In this paper, we explore NDN forwarding over IEEE 802.15.4 following two steps. First, we mathematically model a broadcast-based forwarding strategy for NDN over constrained networks with the IEEE 802.15.4 technology in mind. The model estimates the number of frames transmitted and the mean round-trip time per request, under content popularity considerations. Second, based on mathematical and experimental observations of the broadcast-based forwarding at network level, we elaborate Named-Data Carrier-Sense Multiple Access (ND-CSMA), an adaptation of the Carrier-Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) algorithm used in IEEE 802.15.4. Results show that adaptations such as ND-CSMA may be reasonably envisioned to improve NDN efficiency with current IoT technologies

NDN-over-ZigBee: A ZigBee support for Named Data Networking
International audienceNamed Data Networking (NDN) is a new architecture which allows communications using data’s natural names rather than hosts’ logical addresses. In recent years, several research projects have demonstrated the ability of NDN to support emerging IoT applications like home automation, smart cities and smart farming applications. This work aims to integrate NDN with ZigBee to give NDN a better support for IoT applications that are known to require wireless sensing/actuating abilities, mobility support and low power consumption. For this purpose, we present our NDN-over-ZigBee design and we show through experiments conducted with three different scenarios the suitability and the ease of use of NDN in IoT context. The choice of ZigBee is motivated by the fact that it is a network specification for low-power wireless personal area networks (WPANs) and supports a large number of nodes
