Analysis of Routing Protocol for Low-power and Lossy Networks in IoT Real Time Applications

The wide-scaled sensing by Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)has impacted several areas in the modern generation. It has offered the ability to measure, observe and understand the various physical factors from our environment. The rapid increase of WSN devices in an actuating-communicating network has led to the evolution of Internet of Things (IoT), where information is shared seamlessly across platforms by blending the sensors and actuators with our environment. These low cost WSN devices provide automation in medical and environmental monitoring. Evaluating the performance of these sensors using RPL enhances their use in real world applications. The realization of these RPL performances from different nodes focuses our study to utilize WSNs in our day-to-day applications. The effective sensor nodes (motes) for the appropriate environmental scenarios are analyzed, and we propose a collective view of the metrics for the same, for enhanced throughput in the given field of usage.
