Common use of Communication functionality group Clause in Contracts

Communication functionality group. The IoT6 communication functionality group provides common access to resources and devices, with the main assumption being that IPv6 is the main underlying communication technology used. It is designed to enable integration of various devices employing different communication technologies and protocols, abstracting and adapting them to work with IPv6. To integrate different technologies, the IoT6 communication proposes a networking abstraction layer between devices and applications. This communication abstraction layer integrates smart things, RFID tags, Zigbee devices and any embedded technologies into an uniform networking solution based on IPv6. This abstraction is developed by efficient mechanisms adapted to the limited resources of IoT6 devices in terms of energy and computation. For doing that, IoT6 communication requires several networking agents enabling the interaction between edge devices of the network and high-level applications. Networking agents like routers and Gateways allow the interoperability of underlying communication technologies into a homogeneous solution distributed onto various levels with the following generic functionalities: • Self-management: IoT6 routers, Gateways and proxies will guarantee the automatic management of IoT6 devices in cases of failures based on pre-established rules. • Integrity: IoT6 communication will provide effective mechanisms to detect errors produced during the communication process between IoT6 routers, Gateways and devices to ensure succesful reception of the generated traffic. • Bootstrapping: IPv6-compliant devices will obtain their own IP-addresses exploiting IPv6 features such as stateless auto-configuration and the resource directory to register new devices. For non-IPv6-compliant devices, IoT6 Gateways will provide an IP-address and configuration in the time of joining to the network.
