Abstract 

To guarantee that a Wireless Sensor Network succeeds in delivering its expected QoS, it is essential to understand and optimize cross-layer interactions. This paper presents a study on the interactions between the RPL routing protocol and Radio Duty Cycling (RDC) protocols. This study constitutes a first step towards a full understanding of their impact on the QoS of the network. By means of simulation and real world measurements, differences in the performance of RPL with different RDC protocols were observed and explained, and several properties of the RDC protocols impairing the performance of RPL were discovered.
