Reference Paper:  RPL Enhancement Based FL-Trickle: A Novel Flexible Trickle Algorithm for Low Power and Lossy Networks-[2019]

Research Area:

IOT

Research Topics:

Contiki Cooja Simulator Projects in RPL Routing Protocol

Tools Languages:   Contiki-Cooja / Contiki NG simulator, Front End: Java, Back End: C

Software Requirement:  Vmware workstation player, Instant Contiki-3.0

Aim and Objectives:  
This project aims to design and refine a novel flexible trickle algorithm for RPL using the contiki-cooja simulator.

Contribution:  
1. The main contribution of the project is to improve and optimize RPL based on a new flexible trickle algorithm.
2. To introduce a high value of the minimum interval (Imin ) to decrease the overhead and the convergence time.
3. This project chooses a fixed transmission time parameter value to decrease the transmission delay of control messages.

Performance Evalution:  
This work evaluates the FL-Trickle with different network sizes(10,20,30,40,50,60,70) using random topology where nodes are distributed within a range of 100 × 100m.
