A RPL-based self-organization mechanism for wireless sensor networks

Based on ZigBee IP network technology and RPL routing protocol, this paper proposes a new self-organization mechanism of active RPL. For a wireless sensor network system with short transmission range and multi-hop routing, the proposed mechanism possesses the features of simple establishing procedure, low memory requirement, low power consumption, and low overhead of control frames. Using the self-organization mechanism in a spatial field environment, an interconnection system of wireless sensor network with tree-based architecture can be fast and autonomously constructed to form a wireless infrastructure for IOT.
