Abstract:
Machine to machine communication has gained increasing importance in the context of Internet of Things (IoT). The existing routing protocols for low-power, lossy networks (LLNs) mainly support multipoint to point or point to multipoint communications and have very limited support for point to point communication. The LOADng routing protocol is a source initiated reactive protocol with support for point to point communication. In this paper, a composite routing metric is proposed to improve the packet delivery ratio and the lifetime of a network using LOADng routing protocol. The results obtained through simulation show that using a composite metric can significantly improve the performance of LOADNg routing protocol for low-power, energy-constrained networks with sparse traffic.
