Technical specification and certification program for interoperable, multi‐service, secure IPv6 over IEEE 802.15.4g* wireless mesh network.Use Cases:
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Distribution Automation (DA) Smart Cities
Global standard: North America, Japan, Korea, India, Brazil, Australia, Asia Pacific, EU, etc.
What is the Wi‐SUN Field Area Network (FAN) specification?
Copyright © 2018 Wi‐SUN™ Alliance March 2018 15
IoT Field Area Network Requirements
Attributes for Field Area Networks include: Highly Secure (certificate based authentication) Easy to install and maintain (self forming/healing mesh network, upgradeable)
Longevity (open standards, upgradeable) Ability to scale easily to thousands of nodes (optimal use of frequency band)
Reliable and resilient (mesh, multiple channels, demonstrated interference tolerance)
Long range (sub GHz, mesh) Low latency (high data rates, low channel utilisation) Energy Efficient (short transmission time, long battery life leaf nodes) Low Cost (open standards, multiple silicon vendors) Multi‐vendor Interoperability (certification program for complete communications protocol stack)

Two Part Testing:
Conformance Testing – assessing Device Under Test for conformance to the specification using specialized test equipment Interoperability Testing – assessing Device Under Test for interoperability with reference implementations known as Certified Test Bed Unit (CTBU)
All testing is conducted by a Wi‐SUN appointed Independent Test Laboratory – Third Party Testing
Certification testing include full interoperability testing for L1 ‐> L4 and security including device authentication
Device Under Test must pass all relevant tests to be eligible for certification
Wi-SUN Alliance Testing and Certification Strategy

• FAN Conformance Test Bed• Test Bed Controller
• Script driven TBC to automate FAN device certification.• TBC controls test bed as certification test plan is executed upon a Device Under Test.
• 14 TBUs constitute the test bed.• Test Bed Units from multiple vendors• TBUs implement the API used by the Test Bed Controller.
• Wireshark protocol decoder• Wireshark protocol decoder is integrated into the TBC and test bed.

IEEE 1901.2 / NetricityStatus
•Netricity TPS 1.0• L1 + L2 reference to 1901.2 then specifies differences• L3 + L4 + Security reference to Wi‐SUN FAN, minimal diffs
• Approved September 2017•Test & Certification Framework in discussion
• Draft L1 + L2 Test Case Matrix ~ 75% complete• PHY/MAC Specification Verification test plan & schedule
• Conformance Test Plan• Limit new material to PLC PHY/MAC specific items• Reuse FAN as much as practical
