An Energy-Aware RPL Routing Protocol for Internet of Multimedia Things
Farzaneh Mortazavi, Mohammad Khansari · 2018
With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) for vertical applications such as smart city, multimedia integration with IoT services raises many challenges. In this paper, we propose an RPL routing protocol which considers the remaining energy of nodes in the routing of IoT traffic. The proposed method is implemented using the COOJA simulator and tested on video trace data. Simulation results show that using our energy-aware RPL protocol leads to improvement in lifetime of the network while distributing the load of multimedia traffic routing between all routers. It also extends the availability of nodes by 34% compared to standard RPL protocol.
