Prevalent TLV-based CCN packet formats such as CCNx and NDN are designed to be generic and extensible. This leads to header verbosity which is not acceptable in constrained environments where small-sized MTU link-layers like IEEE 802.15.4 are deployed. This document presents an adaptation layer for IEEE 802.15.4 that reduces CCNx and NDN packet header sizes for an increased payload size. Further, a link fragmentation on this adaptation layer is described.
