NanoStack is a 6lowpan IPv6 + IEEE 802.15.4 protocol stack, enabling wireless embedded and sensor networking. The goal is to help 6lowpan spread globally and to encourage new features from the IETF and ISA100 to be implemented and tested.
WSNs being energy constrained systems, one major problem is to employ the sensor nodes in such a manner so as to ensure maximum coverage and connectivity with minimal or optimal number of nodes and furthermore elongate network lifetime with maximum energy utilization.
The problem addressed has been tackled for 1-D linear array and further extended to 2-Dimensions as stated in the next slides.
