A Survey: Specific Aspect of the RPL Protocol and its Enhancements
Keywords:
Internet of Things, Low Power Wireless Network, Objective Function, RPLAbstract
Today, the era is of smart devices. Whenever smart devices come in the picture, Internet of Things (IoT) has to be a matter of discussion. Moreover, all devices becoming mobile nodes and are low power and lossy in nature which are used in Low Power and Lossy Networks. Many challenges are there in this area which leads the researchers to work upon routing, connections, transferring data, communications between nodes while all or few are mobile in nature, etc. In context with this, IETF group developed a routing protocol used in ‘Low Power and Lossy Network – RPL’ which is recommended for static network in the beginning and then many enhancements have been made on it. In this article Low Power Wireless Network (LPWN) with the detail model of RPL protocol has been introduced. The formation of DODAG and how the communication is done between various nodes in RPL through control messages has also been taken into consideration. The heart of RPL system is Objective Function. OF0 and MRHOF are primary objective functions but cannot work in current mobile network when broken connectivity is there. Here, authors have surveyed many enhancements of RPL protocols and discussed them in brief. The analysis of enhanced RPL reveals that many of the issues encountered by the RPL routing protocol when dealing with mobility, such as inefficient handling of control messages, recreation of DODAG, mechanisms for mobility tracking and selection of preferred parent, energy consumption of the node, and data loss, have been addressed.
