Reference Paper:  MARPL: A crosslayer approach for Internet of things basedon neighbor variability for mobility support in RPL-[2020]

Research Area:

IOT

Research Topic:

Contiki Cooja Simulator Projects in RPL Routing Protocol

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

Software Requirements:  Vmware workstation player, Instant Contiki-3.0

Aim and Objectives:  
The project-s main objective is to design a cross-layer IoT approach based on neighbor variability for mobility support in RPL using the Contiki Cooja simulator. 

Contributions:  
1. This project implements a metric related to node mobility called neighbor variability and a mechanism for mobility detection via the proposed metric.
2. This work creates a preferred mechanism to prevent parent unavailability.
3. It also implements a route selection mechanism that takes into account node mobility. 

Performance Evaluation:  
The random waypoint mobility model was used to simulate node mobility. Various mobile nodes from 25 to 75 were used in the simulated scenarios.
