DRiPLOF: An RPL Extension for Multi-Interface Wireless Sensor Networks in Interference-Prone Environments.

ABSTRACT: The Routing Protocol for Low-power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is a popular routing layer protocol for multi-hop Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, typical RPL configurations are based on decade-old assumptions, leading to a mismatch with: (1) advances in wireless hardware; and (2) growing wireless contention. To soften the impact of external stressors (i.e., jamming and interference), we extended RPL to exploit the capabilities of modern multi-interfaced wireless devices. More specifically, our main contribution is the design, development, and evaluation of a novel RPL Objective Function (OF) which, through simulations, is compared to traditional single-interface approaches and a state-of-the-art multi-interface approach. We examine two scenarios, with and without the injection of jam
