Š. On the rekeying topic for IEEE 802.15.4.

Have a look at IEEE 802.15.9.   It takes existing key establishment
protocols (IEEE 802.1x, etc.) and provides encapsulation over IEEE
802.15.4.  

 IEEE 802.15.9 does not solve all of your rekey needs but the tools are
there when you agree on how you want rekeying to work.
