A method for managing Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) addresses in a wireless sensor network is provided that includes storing, on a wireless sensor device in the wireless sensor network, a prefix of an IPv6 address in association with a key, forming an address indicator for the IPv6 address, the address indicator consisting of the key and a node address of the IPv6 address, and storing the address indicator in at least one memory location on the wireless sensor device in lieu of the IPv6 address.

Compression of internet protocol version 6 addresses in wireless sensor networks

A network includes at least two nodes that employ a routing protocol to communicate across a network. One of the nodes is a parent node and another of the nodes is a child node of the parent node. An address generator assigns a unique network address to the child node by appending an address value of a number of bits to a parent address of the parent node to create the unique network address for the child node.

Address generation for networks

In accordance with various embodiments, a system and method of distributed transmission resource management in a wireless network is disclosed. The transmission resource allocation is distributed throughout the network to all nodes. In distributed resource management, the resource allocation may be performed by child and/or remote nodes and child and/or remote nodes actively manage transmission resource allocation in the wireless network.
