Routing under Heterogeneity and Mobility for the Internet of Things: A Centralized Control Approach

Being part of the Internet of Things (IoT), the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) inherit characteristics such as large-scale deployment, dynamicity, heterogeneity and mobility. These aspects mandate elasticity in many network functions and especially in routing. The IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is the state-of-the-art routing protocol for resource-constrained devices in environments with signal issues, but it was...
