Abstract
6LoWPAN is a significant innovation for low-power devices such as sensors and motes, enabling efficient communication in IoT networks. This paper examines the impact of topology and sink node placement on data delivery within these networks, focusing on the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL). Various network performance metrics are evaluated to determine optimal routing paths, revealing that increased node density and network size lead to higher delays and congestion. The study highlights that the central placement of the sink node enhances performance. Comparatively, mesh topology outperforms random topology in terms of efficiency. Simulations were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Objective Functions (OFs), specifically OF0 and MRHOF. The results indicate that MRHOF surpasses OF0, with performance improvements scaling with network size.
