FIT IoT-LAB Platforms

Participants : Cédric Adjih, Alaeddine Weslati, Vincent Ladeveze, Ichrak Amdouni.

This is a joint work with Emmanuel Baccelli from Inria Saclay.

Period: 2011 - 2021

Partners: Inria (Lille, Sophia-Antipolis, Grenoble), INSA, UPMC, Institut Télécom Paris, Institut Télécom Evry, LSIIT Strasbourg.

• Deployment: During the year 2014, the practical deployment has been finished, at the location planned for this testbed of the EQUIPEX FIT: the basement of building 1 at Rocquencourt. Ten external nodes have also been integrated.

  The testbed is offering most of the planned 344 open nodes, including 120 WSN430 nodes, 200 Cortex A8 based nodes, 24 Cortex M3.

• Opening: The official opening of the Rocquencourt was done in November 2014, at that point all IoT-LAB (and OneLab) users could run experiments in the M3 and A8 nodes from the site. See https://www.iot-lab.info/deployment/rocquencourt/ for more information.

• Support of external projects: Support for RIOT-OS and OpenWSN projects has been developed for IoT-Lab hardware and is being tested.

  • RIOT-OS, a joint work between Inria and FU-Berlin to create an Operating System for the Internet of Things.

  • OpenWSN, an open-source protocol stack for Internet of Things developed by UC Berkley.

• Demonstration: the project IoT-LAB in general had been demonstrated in several events during the year

  • March 2014: Description of IoT-LAB, and test of IoT-LAB nodes at the IETF 6TiSCH plugfest during IETF-89 in London https://bitbucket.org/6tisch/meetings/wiki/140306a_ietf89_london_plugfest

  • July 2014: Demonstration of IoT-LAB (Contiki RPL experiments) at:

    • the Bits-n-Bytes event of IETF-90 in Toronto http://www.ietf.org/meeting/90/ietf-90-bits-n-bites.html

    • the LLN plugfest of IETF-90 in Toronto https://bitbucket.org/6tisch/meetings/wiki/140720a_ietf90_toronto_plugfest

  • November 2014: Demonstration of IoT-LAB for use of scientific experiments, with network coding at MASS 2014 (http://mass2014.eecs.utk.edu/ )

Moreover, during 2014, Ichrak Amdouni was in charge of:

• Testing the support of new switches in FIT IoT-LAB Paris-Rocquencourt site.

• Experimenting network coding protocols in the FIT IoT-LAB platform.
