Title: | An energy-efficient region-based RPL routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks | Authors: | Zhao, M Ho, IWH Chong, PHJ |
Issue Date: | Dec-2016 | Source: | IEEE internet of things journal, Dec. 2016, v. 3, no. 6, p. 1319-1333 | Abstract: | Routing plays an important role in the overall architecture of the Internet of Things. IETF has standardized the RPL routing protocol to provide the interoperability for low-power and lossy networks (LLNs). LLNs cover a wide scope of applications, such as building automation, industrial control, healthcare, and so on. LLNs applications require reliable and energy-efficient routing support. Point-To-point (P2P) communication is a fundamental requirement of many LLNs applications. However, traditional routing protocols usually propagate throughout the whole network to discover a reliable P2P route, which requires large amount energy consumption. Again, it is challenging to achieve both reliability and energy-efficiency simultaneously, especially for LLNs. In this paper, we propose a novel energy-efficient region-based routing protocol (ER-RPL), which achieves energy-efficient data delivery without compromising reliability. In contrast of traditional routing protocols where all nodes are required for route discovery, the proposed scheme only requires a subset of nodes to do the job, which is the key of energy saving. Our theoretical analysis and extensive simulation studies demonstrate that ER-RPL has a great performance superiority over two conventional benchmark protocols, i.e., RPL and P2P-RPL. | Keywords: | Energy-efficiency Low-power and lossy networks (LLNs) Point-to-point (P2P) communication Region-based Reliability Routing protocol (RPL) |
