1. Executive Summary
The reviewers strongly encouraged the consortium to spend significant efforts in spreading the right
messages about the results of this project. Therefore, one of the main objectives of the IoT6
consortium during the last year has been to promote the project and disseminate its knowledge,
experiences, and project results to: researchers, people working on projects facing similar research
issues, practitioners, experts, SMEs and the industry at large.
IoT6s achievements have been made public through deliverables which are accessible to everyone.
The consortium has disseminated its innovative outcomes to the research community through
articles in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, magazines, books, workshops and
conferences.
In order to reach the non-academic community (i.e., SMEs, and industry), IoT6 has also published
white papers summarizing the main use cases developed in the context of the project and produced
an SME Handbook providing advice and guidelines on how to integrate IPv6 and IoT.
The IoT6 consortium has been actively involved and taking the leadership in chairing and
organizing peer-reviewed, well-known, international conferences and workshops such as the IoT6
project conference Extending Seamlessly to the Internet of Things (esIoT 2014), the 2013 IEEE
Globecom IoT Symposium in Atlanta, the IoT Forum 2014 sessions and workshop in London, the
2014 IEEE IoT World Forum in Seoul and the 2014 IPv6 Forum Summits in Paris and Beijing.
In addition, the IoT6 consortium has taken part in events, such as FIA2014, the European Summit
on the Future Internet 2014 and other initiatives gathering researchers and experts involved in other
projects facing similar challenges (which can be overcome by using IoT6 solutions.
The IoT6 consortium has also approached the industrial community (including SMEs), and put
effort into spreading the knowledge and project achievements through the standardization bodies
(IETF, ETSI) as they involve leading industry players: The IETF attracts about 1000 experts to its
meetings and ETSI has some 600 industry members. By being active in these bodies, IoT6 seeks to
interest the industry with its project solutions and impact the standardization process (mainly in the
IETF 6LoWPAN, 6lo and 6TiSCH, and in ETSI ISG). At the same time, the participation of IoT6
partners in standardization bodies provided the opportunity to monitor current market trends and
expectations of the industry. The industrial community has been also approached through
participation in business/industry events, such as ICT Spring 2014 in Luxembourg with 2000
influential participants.
2.1.
To ensure a professional communication on the Internet during Y3, the IoT6 consortium decided to
follow the reviewers recommendations and look for a professional Web designer for entirely
reshaping the IoT6 Website to look like a business Website instead of a technical or project site.
The revised site is available at http://www.iot6.eu and can also be accessed through www.iot6.com
and www.iot6.org.
2.2.
Following the dissemination plan and strategy, IoT6 approached SMEs as well as researchers and
members of Academia (by means of international conference papers and journals, refer to Section
2.3). One of the main project outcomes during Y3 has been a Handbook written to support SMEs in
the unavoidable transition from IPv4 to IPv6, and in the use of IPv6 in IoT applications. Figure 3
shows the cover page of the Handbook.
2.3.
The IoT6 project has further increased its efforts to disseminate its key messages and achievements
at strategic events and workshops that play an important role in the project's engagement with a
wide range of stakeholders.
The IoT6-led IEEE ComSoC IoT Subcommittee won a session for an IoT Symposium track with a
CFP that has attracted over 55 papers worldwide, from which 13 were selected for the 3 sessions.
The three sessions were as follows:
Two Industry Forum sessions were also won by some members of the IoT6 IIAB for Globecom 2013:
2.3.1.3. IEEE World Forum on IoT 2014, March 6th-8th, 2014, Korea
The IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things 2014 was held in Seoul, South Korea in March 2014.
This flagship conference featured a comprehensive technical program including numerous sessions,
tutorials, and an industrial exhibition. The program featured prominent keynote speakers and vendor

the TPC of the overall conference. This group also organised an IoT6 Korean Workshop and the
IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things 2014 in Seoul, Korea on March 6th - 8th, 2014 with the
following programme of presentations from IoT6 partners:
10
IoT6 organized a second workshop in Korea together with its Korean partner KAIST. The
workshop was held a few days before the IEEE World Forum on IoT in Seoul. The Korean
workshop programme included, among others: a half-day workshop with ETRI to explore potential
opportunities of cooperation between IoT6, European partners and Korean research partners. It was
agreed to explore synergies and cooperation links in the area of standardization; to explore potential
cooperation on H2020 calls, to invite ETRI to join the IoT Week and to keep contacts and continue
exploring links for future cooperation.
11
The IoT6 Project Officer, Dr. Jorge Pereira was invited to make a remote opening speech from FIA
Athens to convey his message on IPv6:
12
FIA Athens 2014 constitutes the 11th consecutive conference of the Future Internet Assembly,
which is a collaboration of more than 150 projects, aiming at strengthening European activities on
the Future Internet to maintain European competitiveness in the global marketplace.
An IoT6 demonstration was set up for the FIA conference. The demonstration illustrated several
outcomes of IoT6:
The potential of IPv6 to integrate heterogeneous components of the Internet of Things together,
including:
The demonstration included several sensors and actuators enabling local interactions, including
multi-protocol interactions. The whole deployment was connected through IPv6 to the remote
resources (DigCovery, STIS, SaaS, Smart Office).

The Internet of Things International Forum aims at the development of a worldwide interoperable
Internet of Things, addressing technology barriers, business and societal challenges to create the
conditions for a truly worldwide Internet of Things ecosystem and market. It does this through
promoting international dialogue and cooperation on the Internet of Things between diverse actors
from industry, research and government and across sectors.
MI is a Founder and Board member and host of the IoT Forum and played a leading part during the
IoT Week programme. IoT6 took part in the Technology WG session of the international IoT
Forum (London, June 2014) and presented the IPv6 vision in IoT. Moreover, MI organized with the
other IoT6 members, special sessions on IoT and IPv6 which strengthened the links and aligned the
visions on IPv6 potential for IoT related projects.
Latif Ladid, Chair of the IPv6 Forum and IEEE IoT Subcommittee, SnT/UL
The Internet of Things success will be driven by the integration and harmonization of all
communication systems federating our work and life. Therefore, the systems can provide ubiquitous
communication and computing with the purpose of defining a new generation of services. This
session explored the recent development in the area of standardization related to the Internet of
Things. It discussed the potential of emerging standards to provide a global access and better
integration of a highly fragmented Internet of Things. This addressed the issues regarding emerging
communication requirements in terms of lightweight versions of IPv6-related protocols, emerging
semantics, platforms, and application requirements. The speakers and panelists were leading experts
from various standardization bodies and shared their views on the most promising on-going
developments in terms of standardization for the Internet of Things.

3.1.
During Y3, the collaboration between IoT6 and IERC Cluster was focused on contributing
to two chapters: IERC IoT 2014 Book with a Chapter entitled: Scalable integration
framework for heterogeneous smart objects, applications and services.
33
3.2.
This IoT Pilot was selected for its practical contribution to the IoT6 project by facilitating and
supporting the set-up of common pilot(s) between EU and China.
With the consortium partners active in IoT6 and ECIAO, it was decided to develop a common EUChina IPv6 Pilot in the area of Internet of Things (IoT) using IPv6 in order to demonstrate the
control of objects in one region from the other, using IPv6 connectivity. Internet of Things is a
worldwide hot market topic and also one of the top topics identified in regular EU and China
policies dialogues.
In Europe, Orange has contributed with its IPv6 programme that aims at defining Oranges global
IPv6 strategy and assisting Orange affiliates in enforcing such strategy, thereby covering both
residential and corporate markets, both wired and wireless/mobile infrastructures. Mandat
International has extended its testbed to include both IPv6 and related protocol deployments
(6LoWPAN, CoAP, etc.), as well as non-IP protocols deployment (KNX, ZigBee, X10, etc.).
In China, the Beijing Internet Institute (BII) has outlined in this phase its IoT pilot to develop an
SDK interface for the IEEE1888 devices, test the protocol and this implementation in IPv6 testbed.
The Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) is one of the leading research and
development institute in the field of IPv6 in China, actively involved in the research of IPv6 based
platform and application development. It has outlined its IoT Platform and its IPv4/IPv6 Transition
testbed. Orange China has outlined its IPv6 IoT pilot jointly with Orange in France.
The French IPv6 backbone is operational and several thousands of pilot users (Orange
employees) have been invited to test the IPv6 connectivity service as per the Dual Stack
architectural design summarized in Figure 12.
34
An IPv6 APN has been deployed in 2010 to not only validate the Dual Stack design of Oranges
mobile networking infrastructures, but also to test IPv6-ready mobile terminals from various
vendors. A specific pilot for 4G/LTE customers is currently underway.
The WSN environment deployed by Orange Labs Beijing could be further expanded so that
controllers connected to the French network could remotely access and control IPv6 sensors, but
this needs to be further investigated depending on the network connectivity conditions in China,
among other considerations.
The testbed has been used in several European research projects, addressing research topics such as
energy efficiency, safety, smart buildings, WSN deployments and comfort. It intends to gather all
kinds of devices, reflecting the inherent heterogeneity of the Internet of things. The deployed
sensors and actuators are heterogeneous and can be split in three main categories:
Non-IP devices
The non-IP sensors and actuators are integrated to the IPv6 environment through the UDG
technology, enabling multiprotocol interoperability and legacy protocol integration into IPv6.
The described pilot was focused on a subset of CoAP and 6LoWPAN sensors, accessible through
global public IPv6 addresses.
35
At the sensor level, we have adopted a common interface and environment, by using
6LowPAN and CoAP. This enables the sensors to provide a RESTful interface, with a large
scale capacity potential.
At the network level, we have decided to use direct and secured IPv6 connection between
both testbeds. IPv6 provides a flexible and highly scalable network environment. A major
concern was to enable a transparent interconnection from the sensor to the application
wherever each one was located.
At the application level, applications have been developed to interact with the CoAP enabled
sensors. In order to demonstrate the integration, two Websites are being implemented in
each site with direct on-line access to sensors from both sides.
The testbed of BUPT has implemented the RESTful architecture approach. The data which is
collected by wireless sensors can be accessed by restful architecture interface. However, the private
data which users do not want to make public will be protected by the WSN management system.
Data in the testbed is abstracted as resources which users can call through IPv6/IPv4. No matter
what kind of system environment or the development environment that users use, they can easily
have access to these resources. Data in the testbed will be presented with XML format and JSON
format.
According to data of the testbed, resources can be divided into 4 different types:
A list of gateways
History data of sensors which is stored in the database of WSN management system
According to the types of resources, the interfaces are designed into 4 types. The following Table
shows RESTful interfaces which are used to share with the 3rd party:

HEPIA Testbed
Mandat International has a research laboratory at the HEPIA (Haute cole du paysage, d'ingnierie
et d'architecture de Genve), which is a part of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western
Switzerland (HESSO).
This testbed includes various types of sensors and actuators used to test all kinds of building
components and use cases. An advanced network based on IPv6 and several servers have been
deployed to test in real conditions the different components developed during the different
European projects. The deployment includes all sets of sensors and actuators, as well as energy
meters.
By the nature of the building, this testbed provides the possibility to test a modern faade of a
building. It is particularly interesting to research and fine tune faades and blinds related algorithms
for smart buildings. The testbed has also given the possibility to associate HEPIA students to some
of these developments.
The following pictures give an overview of the HEPIA testbed:

The test deployment in agriculture is a good example of future enabled by IPv6 and IoT. It is a
showcase of integration of modern technologies, Big Data, Cloud Computing, IoT, etc. When all of
these technologies are put into applications in agriculture, a better solution can be achieved. The
Future of IoT in application is promising where IEEE 1888 can be the standard to move this
potential to where it is expected.
First connectivity test results were successful, as shown in Figures 27, 28, and 29:

IEEE World IoT Forum 2015: The 2nd IEEE IoT World Forum 2015 will be chaired by
the Chair of the IEEE IoT subC under the request of the IEEE IoT Initiative. The
preparation is taking place to organise it in Barcelona but discussion are still going on as
the London and Copenhagen IEEE chapters are lobbying to organise it.
IoT Week 2015: IoT6 consortium will be represented by MI as Board member and cochair of the programme committee who will ensure that IPv6 is properly addressed by the
conference.
After an evaluation of the IoT6 standardisation efforts from the Y1 and Y2, we have decided to
create a new Industry Specification Group at ETSI called IP6.
Latif Ladid, a 3GPP Board Member since 1999, has been asked by ETSI to convene a first meeting.
Latif had already established back in 2009 the very first ETSI ISG for Autonomics called
Autonomic Future Internet (AFI), which was formed from the FP7 project EFIPSANS and
concluded its work with industry-oriented recommendations.
The first meeting with the ETSI management for the discussion and application of the ETSI ISG
took place on February 18th, 2014. The application was submitted four weeks later and then many
re-iterations occurred. The application was then presented and submitted to the ETSI Board at the
end of June. The board then asked for a more-detailed definition of the precise objectives and tasks
which were resubmitted at the end of July for the next ETSI Board Review meeting at the end of
September 2014. The Boards acceptance will enable the start of the work to begin in October and
we have reassurance that this ISG will go through from our ETSI representative on the IoT6
Advisory Board who has keen interest in seeing this coming through.
