Poster: An Open-Source IPv6 over BLE Stack for Contiki.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has gained increasing popularity over the past years because of its energy efficiency, reliability under interference, and wide adoption in consumer devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearables. In 2015, the IETF formalized the RFC 7668 standard that defines how BLE connections can be used to exchange IPv6 packets, practically allowing any BLE device to seamlessly connect to the Internet of Things. To date, however, very few open-source implementations of this standard are available to the research community. To fill this gap, in this poster we introduce ContikiBLE , the first fully open-source IPv6 over BLE communication stack for the Contiki operating system, and present an evaluation of its main features using off-the-shelf TI CC2650 SensorTag wireless sensor nodes.
