Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications (DECT) Ultra Low Energy (ULE)
Abstract
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Ultra Low Energy
(ULE) is a low-power air interface technology that is proposed by the
DECT Forum and is defined and specified by ETSI.
The DECT air interface technology has been used worldwide in
communication devices for more than 20 years. It has primarily been
used to carry voice for cordless telephony but has also been deployed
for data-centric services.
DECT ULE is a recent addition to the DECT interface primarily
intended for low-bandwidth, low-power applications such as sensor
devices, smart meters, home automation, etc. As the DECT ULE
interface inherits many of the capabilities from DECT, it benefits
from operation that is long-range and interference-free, worldwide-
reserved frequency band, low silicon prices, and maturity. There is
an added value in the ability to communicate with IPv6 over DECT ULE,
such as for Internet of Things applications.
This document describes how IPv6 is transported over DECT ULE using
IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN)
techniques.
