Abstract
Another popular technology candidate that can be used to deploy IoT WPAN topologies is BLE. BLE, as IEEE 802.15.4, introduces physical and link layers that can serve as building blocks of IoT stacks. BLE requires network layer adaptation to support full IPv6 connectivity. This adaptation enables, among many things, the compression of network and transport headers. Adaptation does not provide fragmentation as this is supported by the lower layers of BLE. With network and transport layers in place, the application layer and the integration with real devices becomes possible. In this context, this chapter explores the deployment of BLE stacks that support the transmission of sensor readouts.
