Performance Analysis of RPL Protocols in LLN Network Using Friedman’s Test

Abstract

This paper provides a comparison study of the quality services of RPL protocols in low-power and lossy networks (LLN). We evaluate and compare our proposed protocol which is an extension of RPL based on Operator Calculus (OC), called RPL-OC, with the standard and other RPL variants. OC based approach is applied to extract the feasible end-to-end paths while assigning a rank to each one. The goal is to provide a tuple that containing the most efficient paths in end-to-end manner by considering more network metrics instead of one. Further, to address some significant issues of the performance analysis, a statistical test has been performed in order to determine whether the proposed protocol outperforms others or not by using Friedman test. The results show that there is a strong indication that four different protocols were analyzed and compared. It reveals that the proposed scheme outperforms others, especially in terms of end-to-end delay and energy consumption which allow ensuring quality of services requirements for Internet of Things (IoT) or smart city applications.

My Abstract for QiR 2011

Abstract

In mobile ad hoc networks (Manets), routing protocol plays the most important role. In the last decade, Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol becomes the attention of focused research on Manets world wide. A lot of protocols had been proposed to improve and optimize AODV routing protocol to achieve the best in quest of reliable protocol. In this paper, we proposed a new variant of AODV routing protocol based on combination of two protocols, AODV+ and R-AODV. We called it AODV-UI. The proposed protocol has some advantages such as availability gateway mode and optimize route discovery which adopt reverse route.  This paper presents a performance analysis of our proposed protocol. We measure some performance indicators such as end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio and routing overhead. The simulation results show that our proposed protocol AODV-UI outperformed AODV+ especially in terms of routing overhead. It decreases the end-to-end delay by 19.24% and increases the packet delivery ratio by 7.54% as well as decreases the routing overhead by 68.09%.
