Thang Chien Vu, Nguyễn Văn Tảo · International Journal of Intelligent Systems and Applications · 2016
In the near future, IP-based wireless sensor networks will play a key ro le in several application scenarios such as smart grid, smart ho me, healthcare, and building automat ion...An IPv6 routing protocol is expected to provide internet connectivity to any IP-based sensor node.In this paper, we propose IRPL protocol for IP-based wireless sensor networks.IRPL protocol uses a combination of two routing metrics that are the link quality and the remain ing energy state of the preferred parent to select the optimal path.In IRPL protocol, we combine t wo metrics based on an alpha weight.IRPL protocol is implemented in ContikiOS and evaluated by using simu lation and testbed experiments .The results show that IRPL protocol has achieved better network lifetime, data delivery rat io and energy balance co mpared to the traditional solution of RPL protocol.
