Implementing RPL in a mobile and fixed wireless sensor network with OMNeT++.

Abstract

The thesis presents the implementation and assessment of two routing metrics used in RPL. The routing metrics evaluated in the thesis are the Hop Count Object and Node Energy Object. The ROLL working group has defined functionalities required to implement the entire routing protocol. Restrictions have been made on what functionalities to implement depending on their influence on the performance evaluation. Functionalities described in [1] which does not have any effect on the measurements to be done, are not implemented. The metrics are evaluated on power consumption, and their ability to preserve connectivity in the network. The main focus will be the traffic sent towards the root node, whereas the support for downward routes has been implemented.
