چکیده
Recent trends in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have suggested converging to such being IPv6-based. to this effect, the Internet Engineering Task Force has chartered a Working Group to develop a routing protocol specification, enabling IPv6-based multi-hop Wireless Sensor Networks. This routing protocol, denoted RPL, has been under development for approximately a year, and this memorandum takes a critical look at the state of advancement hereof: it provides a brief algorithmic description of the protocol, and discusses areas where – in the authors view – further efforts are required in order for the protocol to become a viable candidate for general use in WSNs. Among these areas is the lack of a proper broadcast mechanism. This memorandum suggests two such broadcast mechanisms, both aiming at (i) exploiting the existing routing state of RPL, while (ii) requiring no additional state maintenance, and studies the performance of RPL and of these suggested mechanisms.

A cet effet, l’IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) a mis sur pied un groupe de travail pour élaborer la spécification d’un protocole de routage s’appliquant aux réseaux de capteurs sans fil multi-hop basés sur IPv6. Ce protocole de routage, appelé RPL, est en cours de développement depuis environ un an. Cet article présente un examen critique de son état d’avancement. Après une brève description algorithmique du protocole, une discussion est proposée sur des domaines, où selon les auteurs, des efforts supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour que le protocole puisse devenir candidat viable à une utilisation généralisée dans les réseaux de capteurs sans fil. Parmi ces domaines se trouve l’absence d’un mécanisme de diffusion approprié. Cet article suggère deux mécanismes de diffusion, tous deux avec l’objectif (i) de pouvoir exploiter l’état de routage actuel du protocole RPL (ii) sans requérir à une maintenance supplémentaire de cet état. Il étudie également les performances de RPL et des deux mécanismes de diffusion proposés.

متن کاملStudy of Mobility Enhancements for RPL in Convergecast Scenarios
In recent years, mobility support has become an important requirement in various wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. However, due to the strict resource constraints of power, memory, and processing resources in WSNs, routing protocols are mainly designed without considering mobility. Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) are a special type of WSNs that tolerate data loss. The Routing Prot...

Executive Summary Optimized content delivery has become a critical requirement due to the increased level of media-rich traffic on networks. This document describes how content delivery and broadcast services are challenging networks and explains how emerging technologies such as point-to-multipoint (P2MP) label switched paths (LSPs) help resolve them.
متن کاملBroadcasting XORs: On the Application of Network Coding in Access Point-to-Multipoint Networks
We investigate network coding (NC) in access point-to-multipoint (PMP) broadcast networks. Characterized by a shared unicast upstream channel and a time-shared broadcast downstream channel, PMP networks are widely deployed in optical and wireless access networks. We develop a queuing-theoretic model of NC at the medium access control (MAC) sublayer and analyze the impact of NC on packet delay. ...
