Abstract

In one implementation, the present invention provides a mechanism for balanced ad-hoc network formation. To achieve the for balanced ad-hoc network formation, the present invention sends the metric information with DIO control message. A new metric container type is introduced in RPL to hold the metric information, and select the parent with minimum path cost, and switch the parent with minimum path cost, as per the defined logic. A stateless metric considers that the average traffic flow from each node is approximately same. The stateless metric directly uses the number of routing table entries (RT) to decide which path to use. A stateful metric, wherein the node keeps a track of packets processed per second by itself. For stateful metric, the node maintains packets processed rate (PPR) variable, which is then used as the metric.
