Abstract :
Wireless sensor network (WSN) have been the subject of significant research over the recent years. IPv6 over low-power wireless personal area network (6LoWPAN) has been proposing the use of IPv6 solutions in WSN to communicate using Internet protocol (IP). The 6LoWPAN is proposed by IETF which provides IPv6 header compression, fragmentation and reassembly of IPv6 packets over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. In this paper, we present an experimental study on the impact between the packet length of IPv6 in network layer and number of fragments in MAC layer. We conducted our experiments in Contiki test-bed to analysis 6LoWPAN performance with different RSSI and payload size. Experiment results highlight the trade-off between the length of IPv6 UDP frame sand link quality for 6LoWPAN performance. Finally, a RSSI-based IPv6 routing metrics for RPL has been proposed based-on our experiment results to enhance the transmission performance in 6LoWPAN.
