Evaluation of RPL’s Single Metric Objective Functions
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of RPL
(IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks)
based on the Objective Function being used to construct the
Destination Oriented Directed Acyclic Graph (DODAG). Using
the Cooja simulator, we compared Objective Function Zero (OF0)
with the Minimum Rank with Hysteresis Objective Function
(MRHOF) in terms of average power consumption, packet loss
ratio, and average end-to-end latency. Our study shows that RPL
performs better in terms of packet loss ratio and average endto-end
latency when MRHOF is used as an objective function.
However, the average power consumption is noticeably higher
compared to OF0
A Wised Routing Protocols for Leo Satellite Networks
This Study proposes a routing strategy of combining a packet scheduling with
congestion control policy that applied for LEO satellite network with high
speed and multiple traffic. It not only ensures the QoS of different traffic,
but also can avoid low priority traffic to be "starve" due to their weak
resource competitiveness, thus it guarantees the throughput and performance of
the network. In the end, we set up a LEO satellite network simulation platform
in OPNET to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.Comment: The 10th Asian Control Conference (ASCC), Universiti Teknologi

THE-FAME: THreshold based Energy-efficient FAtigue MEasurment for Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks using Multiple Sinks
Wireless Body Area Sensor Network (WBASN) is a technology employed mainly for
patient health monitoring. New research is being done to take the technology to
the next level i.e. player's fatigue monitoring in sports. Muscle fatigue is
the main cause of player's performance degradation. This type of fatigue can be
measured by sensing the accumulation of lactic acid in muscles. Excess of
lactic acid makes muscles feel lethargic. Keeping this in mind we propose a
protocol \underline{TH}reshold based \underline{E}nergy-efficient
\underline{FA}tigue \underline{ME}asurement (THE-FAME) for soccer players using
WBASN. In THE-FAME protocol, a composite parameter has been used that consists
of a threshold parameter for lactic acid accumulation and a parameter for
measuring distance covered by a particular player. When any parameters's value
in this composite parameter shows an increase beyond threshold, the players is
declared to be in a fatigue state. The size of battery and sensor should be
very small for the sake of players' best performance. These sensor nodes,
implanted inside player's body, are made energy efficient by using multiple
sinks instead of a single sink. Matlab simulation results show the
effectiveness of THE-FAME.Comment: IEEE 8th International Conference on Broadband and Wireless

SCOR: Software-defined Constrained Optimal Routing Platform for SDN
A Software-defined Constrained Optimal Routing (SCOR) platform is introduced
as a Northbound interface in SDN architecture. It is based on constraint
programming techniques and is implemented in MiniZinc modelling language. Using
constraint programming techniques in this Northbound interface has created an
efficient tool for implementing complex Quality of Service routing applications
in a few lines of code. The code includes only the problem statement and the
solution is found by a general solver program. A routing framework is
introduced based on SDN's architecture model which uses SCOR as its Northbound
interface and an upper layer of applications implemented in SCOR. Performance
of a few implemented routing applications are evaluated in different network
topologies, network sizes and various number of concurrent flows.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figures, 11 algorithms, 3 table
Identifying Design Requirements for Wireless Routing Link Metrics
In this paper, we identify and analyze the requirements to design a new
routing link metric for wireless multihop networks. Considering these
requirements, when a link metric is proposed, then both the design and
implementation of the link metric with a routing protocol become easy.
Secondly, the underlying network issues can easily be tackled. Thirdly, an
appreciable performance of the network is guaranteed. Along with the existing
implementation of three link metrics Expected Transmission Count (ETX), Minimum
Delay (MD), and Minimum Loss (ML), we implement inverse ETX; invETX with
Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) using NS-2.34. The simulation results show
that how the computational burden of a metric degrades the performance of the
respective protocol and how a metric has to trade-off between different
performance parameters
