Book cover Smart Grid Inspired Future Technologies

Abstract

This paper discusses the requirements and trends in the building automation industry and in general shift of focus to provide native IP connectivity in low power devices. It then provides experimental results that validate the readiness of protocols for Internet of things developed by IETF and available in some chipset to meet the requirements from the industry. The evaluation criteria that was selected in this paper is latency, packer delivery rate, coverage and power consumption. It can be seen from the results that maximum 3 hops can be supported in order to achieve a PDR between 80–90 percent for 150 ms deadline.
