New Bit Pattern Based IPv6 Address Compression Techniques for 6LoWPAN Header Compression

Things in the world can be connected to the Internet through various technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15.4 etc. Among all IPv6 over IEEE 802.15.4 looks promising for outdoor environments for connecting a very large number of resource constrained sensor nodes. 6LoWPAN is an adaptation...

description Things in the world can be connected to the Internet through various technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15.4 etc. Among all IPv6 over IEEE 802.15.4 looks promising for outdoor environments for connecting a very large number of resource constrained sensor nodes. 6LoWPAN is an adaptation layer to support IPv6 over IEEE 802.15.4 to overcome the challenge of the physical layer with respect to the limitation of 127 bytes of payload. 6LoWPAN supports header compression as one of its functions to reduce the number of bits in header by using compression techniques. Static Context Header Compression (SCHC) provides RuleID based header compression. This paper proposes further compression of address bits based on compressing leading zeros in IPv6 addresses. The proposed work is analysed with respect to Header compression HC1 of 6LoWPAN and SCHC techniques. The simulation results show compression of address bits are 10% to 40% more compared to traditional address compression of the 6LoWPAN address compression when continuous zeroes are present in the address. The compression of address bits provides sufficient space for sending data payload in one frame during communication.
