Abstract
This paper presents the development of 6LoWPAN adaptation layer with fragmentation and reassembly mechanisms by using Qualnet simulator. The developed adaptation layer is based on 6LoWPAN working group specifications and is added into the current existing Qualnet libraries. The IPv6 protocol stacks, however, are not currently supported and provided by Qualnet simulator. Thus, a modified version of IPv4 based addressing scheme to emulate the IPv6 protocol stacks for developing the 6LoWPAN adaptation layer has been successfully implemented and validated in Qualnet simulator. This developed adaptation layer has also been examined over the IEEE 802.15.4 standard WSN environment. The performance of the developed 6LoWPAN is evaluated and compared to WSN in terms of packet delivery ratio, throughput, average end-to-end delay and total average energy consumption.
