Due to the very large scale of IoT smart cities, uniquely addressing the objects is a vital task to control them via the Internet. It may be considered significant for the fulfillment of the IoT infrastructure. An addressing scheme allows us to uniquely recognize billions of devices and to control remote or inaccessible devices. Every object in the network must be recognized uniquely by their identification, location, and functionalities. [85] cited that in addition to an object’s unique characteristics, reliability, scalability, and persistence are the characteristics that are most necessary to create a productive addressing strategy.
5 IP—The Internet Protocol

IP provides a very useful mechanism to enable communications between computers. IP provides a uniform addressing scheme so that computers on one network can communicate with computers on a distant network. IP also provides a set of functions that make it easy for different types of applications (such as e-mail, Web browsing, or video streaming) to work in parallel on a single computer. Plus, IP enables different types of computers (mainframes, PCs, Macs, Linux machines, etc.) to communicate with each other.

A Stateless Spatial IPv6 Address Configuration Scheme for Internet of Things
Published in IETE Journal of Research, 2021
The motivation for this research work is to bridge the barrier to the growth of IoT technology reported by CISCO [15]. Potential solutions presented in different scenarios and circumstances in the allocation of IPv6 are also prompted to contribute in this direction [16]. The benefit of a location-based addressing scheme is that it eliminates the need to keep track of both logical and physical location information. Moreover, location is encoded in the IPv6 address, so it can be handy in geographical routing. The first step towards location-based IP addressing was coined by Adam Dunkel, named spatial IP address assignment (SIPA) and successfully implemented in the Contiki IoT operating system [25]. SIPA is fairly simple and generates IP using two-dimensional location information. However, its performance is low. Later scan line IP assignment (SLIPA), another version of SIPA, was proposed with improved ASR. However, its performance is also limited [26]. SLIPA-Q [27] was also proposed, which improves SLIPA’s performance but requires a centralized system to detect duplication, making it unsuitable for IoT. A three-dimension location-based scheme, MPIPA [28], is proposed which improves ASR but still suffers when a large number of nodes are deployed. In [29], authors proposed an IPv6 addressing scheme based on node location information and passive DAD for 6LoWPAN based networks and claimed improved delay and overhead. Abdullah et al. [30,31] proposed a novel GPS location-based IPv6 addressing scheme for WSN and used it to predict the location of the node from its address, but it does not consider ASR and overhead. A study of recent spatial IPv6 addressing schemes is summarized in Table 1. Most of the schemes are centralized and do not follow the self-configuration standard of IoT. The performance of these schemes is also limited when applied in an IoT environment. From this study, the following shortcomings have been identified. Existing schemes do not guarantee the generation of unique IPv6 addresses, hence they need optimization.Most of these schemes are centralized and stateful, therefore not compatible with the IoT environment.The ASR of location-based schemes is limited, so it adds more overhead and energy consumption during the addressing process.Optimization is required to minimize energy consumption and overhead of the addressing process.
