Abstract

Low power and lossy network (LLN) massive terminal deployment has become an inevitable trend. However, traditional routing protocols cannot meet the large-scale data transmission requirements. In this paper, we introduce the multi-channel communication technology into LLN and propose a multi-channel routing protocol based on cross-layer design (MC-RPL), which can increase the data transmission capacity of the network via a parallel data transmission strategy. Specifically, we design a novel super-frame structure to decouple the communication period into a route maintenance phase and a data transmission phase. Nodes can transmit data in parallel during the data transmission phase. Besides, we improve the trickle algorithm to enhance routing maintenance efficiency during the route maintenance phase. Simulation results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the MC-RPL protocol compared to the MRHOF and IRH-OF protocols.
