| Abstract: | Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLN) are composed of embedded devices constrained by computation capability, memory capacity, communication bandwidth, energy supply, and also node and link reliability. The IETF ROLL (Routing Over Low-Power
and Lossy networks) Working Group has speci ed RPL (Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy networks) to address these constraints, after evaluating other protocols proposed in the literature in search of an IP based solution for routing over
LLNs. The positive preliminary results of RPL for providing a reliable LLN for a single application naturally leads to the discussion of multiple applications sharing network resources. An immediate issue is the fair and e cient allocation of the shared
wireless channel bandwidth. These applications may require speci c network guarantees for system critical warnings, time-sensitive data, and general data of less urgency. Packet-level Quality of Service (QoS) has been a very popular paradigm for ensuring
bounded delay and maximum network throughput for well-behaved
ows in wired and ad-hoc networks, and to the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive e orts to document traditional QoS performance over LLNs exists in the literature. In this
thesis, we summarized the motivations for the development of RPL, brie
y describe it and then discuss tra c classi cation in LLNs. We present the simulator that was developed to evaluate RPL and the extensions needed to support tra c classes and scheduling mechanisms. Finally, we evaluate a very simple QoS scheduling discipline
using data collected from a real smart metering network deployment, indicating the feasibility of supporting QoS for such networks. |
