MobiRPL: Adaptive, robust, and RSSI-based mobile routing in low power and lossy networks

This paper tackles the mobile routing issues in low-power and lossy networks (LLNs). The IPv6 standard protocol for LLNs, termed (RPL), has mostly been investigated static LLNs it no explicit mechanism to support mobility. In addition, there is that works well LLNs. Considering importance of mobility many LLN applications, this work designs implements MobiRPL, an adaptive, robust, received signal strength indicator (RSSI)-based scheme based on RPL standard. To cope with network dynamics, MobiRPL design focuses more maintaining reliable topology than minimizing energy consumption. choice significantly improves reliability while acceptable consumption We implement Contiki OS, evaluate its effectiveness extensively through Cooja simulation testbed experiments. Our results from show nodes' packet delivery ratio by 11.3% compared reduces nodes 73.3% baseline scheme, i.e., lightweight on-demand ad-hoc distance-vector — next generation (LOADng).
