IoT deployments often require communication between devices that employ heterogeneous wireless technologies. Traditionally, expensive gateways are used to relay packets between heterogeneous nodes. Recent cross-technology communication offers a low bandwidth alternative, which is only feasible when communication between such nodes is limited to simple binary commands. In contrast, our work capitalizes on the increasing presence of multi-standard radio chips in mainstream IoT devices, to provide a new perspective on how to enable direct communication between heterogeneous nodes. We design Scylla—a software control layer—that allows multiple wireless stacks to coexist on top of a single radio chip, thereby simultaneously offering multiple communication interfaces. Uniquely, Scylla achieves near stack-native performance and requires no changes to the standards.
