Re: [6tsch] Zero Objective Function discussion

[Xavier Vilajosana Guillen <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

after some study I agree that we can use the RFC6552 in the minimal 6TiSCH
configuration. I would like to call for approval or more input from others
before I consolidate the text in the draft.

I put here an example following Pascal suggestion:

Given

Rf = 1
Sp = 2* ETX
Sr = 0
minHopRankIncrease = 256 (default in RPL)
ETX=(xmit/ack)

r(n) = r(p) + rank_increase
rank_increase= (Rf*Sp + Sr) * minHopRankIncrease
rank_increase=(512*xmit/ack)


if we take 5 hops (95 are supported) network and r(0)=0 and xmit=100 and
ack=75 for all nodes

r(1)=r(0)+rank_increase = 0+683 with f=0
r(2)=r(1)+683=1366 with f=1
r(3)=r(2)+683=2049 with f=2
r(4)=r(3)+683=2732 with f=2
r(5)=r(4)+683=3415 with f=3
...
etc...

so f is monotonically increasing and the rank function enables more than
enough hops.

Please provide feedback.

cheers!
