Résumé : To study experimentally the interactions of the Radio Duty Cycling (RDC), MAC and Routing over Low power and Lossy Networks (RPL) protocols for wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSAN) a test facility is being built in the garden of a countryside house because observations will be easier to interpret far from potentially disturbing radio transmitters and from reflecting structures causing multi-path interferences. The facility consists in a WSAN, with a dozen static motes, positioned all over a 1000 m2 lawn, one mobile mote, affixed on a robotic lawn mower, and one gateway mote, located near a veranda, where computers and test equipment are housed. The position and the transmission power of the static motes should force the RPL routing algorithm to select as many as possible multi-hop routes. As a survey of the relevant literature [1,2,3,4,5,6] did not provide sufficient practical data to implement this last requirement, we undertook themselves a practical study of radio links , inspired by the experimental work reported in [5] and [6], but using modern motes available on today’s market. We believe some of our observations can be useful for anybody designing a WSAN.
