Simple 6LoWPAN mesh end-node improves network performance reference design
Description
This reference design implements a simple RF mesh network end node for smart meter Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) networks. The network is an IPv6 over low-power wireless personal area networks (6LoWPAN) solution. The design implements this network in a single CC1310 SimpleLink™ Wireless MCU to optimize performance and minimize system cost. The complete 6LoWPAN mesh network runs on top of the TI-15.4 stack based on IEEE-802.15.4e/g protocols and implements an un-slotted channel hopping (USCH) mode to provide protection against network interference.
Features
