Abstract

In the IoT network environments for LLNs(Low power and Lossy networks), IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy networks(RPL) has been proposed by IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force). The goal of RPL is to create a directed acyclic graph, without loops. As recommended by the IETF standard, RPL route recovery mechanisms in the event of a failure of a node should avoid loop, loop detection, DIO Poisoning. In this process, route recovery time and control message might be increased in the sub-tree because of the repeated route search. In this paper, we suggested RPL route recovery method to solve the routing overhead problem in the sub-tree during a loss of a link in the RPL routing protocol based on IoT wireless networks. The proposed method improved local repair process by utilizing a route that could not be selected as the preferred existing parents. This reduced the traffic control packet, especially in the disconnected node's sub tree. It also resulted in a quick recovery. Our simulation results showed that the proposed RPL local repair reduced the recovery time and the traffic of control packets of RPL. According to our experiment results, the proposed method improved the recovery performance of RPL.

저전력, 저품질의 네트워크 환경인 LLNs(Low power and Lossy Networks) IoT 네크워크 환경에서는 IETF에서 제안한 IPv6 라우팅 프로토콜인 RPL이 대표적으로 사용된다. RPL은 루프가 존재하지 않는 방향성 비순환 그래프(Directed Acyclic Graph)를 생성하는 것을 목표로 하며, 이를 위해 loop avoidance, loop detection 메커니즘과 문제 발생 시 복구를 위한 DIO Poisoning 메커니즘을 정의하고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 DIO Poisoning은 루프 발생 노드에서 일어난 poisoning이 해당 노드의 서브트리로 전파되어 복구 시간과 컨트롤 메시지가 증가하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 RPL 기반 IoT 무선 네트워크에서 루프 복구 과정 시 서브 트리의 라우팅 오버헤드가 추가로 발생할 수 있는 현상을 보완한 효율적인 경로 복구 기법을 제안한다. 개선된 RPL 루프 복구 과정에서는 기존 선호 부모로 선택될 수 없던 경로를 활용하여 빠르게 복구함으로써 새로운 경로설정을 위한 컨트롤 패킷 트래픽과 경로 복구 시간을 줄인다. 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 제안한 프로토콜이 기존 프로토콜에 비해 복구 시간 단축과 컨트롤 패킷의 감소를 통한 복구 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
