OpenWSN (Software)

Participants : Thomas Watteyne, Tengfei Chang, Malisa Vucinic, Jonathan Muñoz.

OpenWSN (http://www.openwsn.org/ ) is an open-source implementation of a fully standards-based protocol stack for the Internet of Things. It has become the de-facto implementation of the IEEE802.15.4e TSCH standard, has a vibrant community of academic and industrial users, and is the reference implementation of the work we do in the IETF 6TiSCH standardization working group.

The OpenWSN ADT started in 2015, with Research Engineer Tengfei Chang who joined the EVA team.

Highlights for 2015:

• Development:

  • Moving the project from UC Berkeley to Inria (Thomas Watteyne)

  • Implementation of a layer-2 security based on AES-128 and CCM* (Malisa Vucinic)

  • Implementation of draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal (Tengfei Chang)

  • Implementation of draft-dujovne-6tisch-6top-sf0 (Tengfei Chang)

  • Implementation of draft-wang-6tisch-6top-sublayer (Tengfei Chang)

  • Creation of “Golden Image” used as a reference during interoperability testing (Tengfei Chang)

• Recognition:

  • OpenWSN was selected by ETSI as the reference implementation for IETF 6TiSCH-related standards. It is therefore the base for the ETSI's Golden Device for 6TiSCH standards, including IEEE802.15.4e TSCH, 6LoWPAN and RPL.
