Quality of Service and Energy Efficiency Enhancement in IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks

Many researchers have helped in the evolution of Wireless sensor networks and overcoming the main challenges of the field. The Internet of things can be based on the current WSNs. To this end, there should be an efficient standard routing protocol for WSNs. The IETF has designed a standard Routing protocol called IPv6 routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) for WSNs. RPL has proved acceptable performance through several simulations and evaluations. In this paper a creative method is proposed to improve the quality of service of the RPL and to enable RPL to support different data types using a multipath scheme. The remaining energy of the nodes can be used in combination with other routing metrics to help improve the energy efficiency of the protocol and to homogenize the energy consumption among the nodes which results to longer network lifetime
