Abstract
The nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSN) are typically resource constrained so that they can maintain only a few routes. More-capable nodes can insert extra routing information, i.e. source routing header (SRH), into packets to instruct the resource constrained ones to route the packet. A WSN with deeper depth requires longer SRH, thus leaving less space of a packet for the user data. We analyze the relationship between the length of the user data and the maximum depth of a WSN based on RPL and IEEE 802.15.4. The results can guide the application designers and the network administrators in selecting a suitable length of user data to guarantee that the data can be routed to each sensor nodes. Simulation results prove the correctness of our analysis.
