Abstract [en]
The Internet of Things is considered to have the possibility to be a new revolution with the means to impact the future in a big way. The computers that would form this "Inter-net of Things" (IoT) would need to depend on being battery-powered and in a small form factor. To enable this, an energy-efficient communication technology is required. Because of this it, 6LoWPAN was studied and implemented to test the energy consumption versus a more traditional wireless technique. It was determined that 6LoWPAN is a type of network and that it will save energy. 6LoWPAN over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has been measured to use approximately 50% less energy than normal WiFi (802.11n) to send the same data.

Internet of Things anses ha möjlighet att vara en revolution som kan ha stor påverkan på framtiden. Datorerna som skulle bilda ett "Internet of Things" (IoT) skulle vara tvungna att vara batteridrivna och behålla en liten formfaktor. För att möjliggöra detta krävs energieffektiva kommunikationstekniker. På grund av detta undersöktes och implementerades 6LoWPAN för att testa energikonsumtionen jämfört med en mer traditionell trådlös teknik. Det konstaterades att 6LoWPAN är en typ av nätverk och att det kommer spara energi. 6LoWPAN over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) har uppmätts använda ungefär 50% mindre energi än normalt WiFi (802.11n) för att skicka samma data.
