Abstract :
6LoWPAN is a new protocol that enables IPv6 to be used in wireless sensor networks. However, the hierarchical routing over 6LoWPAN (HiLOW) proposed by the IETF 6LoWPAN Working Group may be too simplified due to the use of dynamically assigned 16-bit short addresses in 6LoWPAN to establish a hierarchical tree between parent and children nodes for packet transmission since performance would degrade when a node tries to communicate with another nearby node over several hops. In this paper, we propose a scheme to improve the efficiency of routing for the existing hierarchical routing algorithm and perform performance analysis with an experiment to show the improvement.
