Summary: The Internet of things (IoT) is an emerging technology that has made significant advancements and contributions in various applications. IoT refers to a system of wirelessly interconnected heterogeneous nodes or sensors over Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLNs). The main routing protocol of the LLNs is the Routing Protocol over Low power and Lossy network (RPL). Due to the constraints of IoT systems, challenges such as reliable data transmission and network security arise. This work reviews various security mechanisms proposed in the literature to protect RPL-based IoT systems against sinkhole attacks, discussing, classifying, and analyzing their performance, datasets, implementation details, and limitations. It also presents research gap analysis and suggestions for future research topics in this field.

Summary: RPL is a standardized IPv6 routing protocol designed for low-power and lossy networks (LLNs). It focuses on handling low data rate traffic and faces challenges in providing good quality of service and user quality of experience for multimedia applications in resource-constrained LLNs. To address this, the proposal suggests transmitting traffic on multiple disjoint paths using the DODAG structure maintained by RPL, and applying a priority-based low-complexity encoding scheme to reduce the data to send. Experimental results show that the best QoS and QoE are achieved when using multiple paths and replicating highest priority data packets.

Summary: The Internet of Things (IoT) has led to an exponential increase in the number of devices connected to the internet, resulting in congestion and negatively affecting Quality of Service (QoS). This paper proposes an improved RPL protocol called Congestion and QoS-Aware RPL for IoT applications (CQARPL) which addresses congestion control and QoS requirements. The protocol selects parents based on multi-metric evaluation and controls node connectivity to achieve congestion control and QoS. Simulation results show that CQARPL maintains transmission quality and controls congestion effectively in IoT.

Summary: The resource-constrained nature of low power and lossy networks devices makes it difficult to implement efficient security mechanisms to defend against RPL routing attacks. Existing security functions within RPL are not sufficient in preventing a wide range of routing attacks, and optional security schemes can defend against external attacks but not internal attacks. Lack of mechanisms to verify the integrity of control messages further increases the threat level of RPL against routing attacks. Researchers have suggested various security mechanisms to mitigate these risks, but further exploration and enhancement are needed to improve RPL's overall security.

Summary: The combination of the EADPS prediction scheme and the temporal correlation based data aggregation technique is proposed as a powerful tool to address the problem of communication reduction in connected IoT-based WSNs. The results show that the aggregation technique is powerful compared to the DPS prediction scheme but loses its superiority for small WSNs size when the EADPS schema is applied. The proposed scheme reduces the average transmission rates in the range 85%-96% for the entire network.
