Abstract
AbstractIETF IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e (6TiSCH) is an open communication protocol stack designed specifically for low-power wireless networks and aimed at being a key enabler technology of Industrial Internet of Things. 6TiSCH combines Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) with IPv6 to form a well-tuned and complete networking solution. In this paper, we study the parameters that affect the process of 6TiSCH network formation, such as the Enhanced Beacon transmission period, the scan period, the slotframe size, etc. We carry out extensive simulations to examine the impact of these parameters on the time of TSCH synchronization and the time of the formation of RPL Destination Oriented Graph. Results reveal that most of the studied variables affect greatly the 6TiSCH network formation time. This study allowed us to gain insights into how 6TiSCH networks behave during the bootstrapping phase, and how it is affected by different parameters.KeywordsIIoT6TiSCHTSCHNetwork formationIEEE 802.15.4
