Enabling Named Data Networking (NDN) in realworld Internet of Things (IoT) deployments becomes essential to benefit from Information Centric Networking (ICN) features in current IoT systems. To design realistic NDN-based communication solutions for IoT, revisiting mainstream technologies such as low-power wireless standards may be the key. In this paper, we explore the NDN forwarding over IEEE 802.15.4 by modeling a broadcast-based forwarding strategy. Based on the observations, we adapt the Carrier-Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) algorithm of 802.15.4 to improve NDN wireless forwarding while reducing broadcast effects in terms of packet redundancy, round-trip time and energy consumption.
