 Multi-hopping and Mesh (RPL)
▪ Star topology / without hopping
- In the case of star topology / without hopping, dead zone is occurred by the arrangement.
and since there is no hopping, the communication distance is depended on RF performance of Node.
▪ Mesh topology / with hopping
- In the case of mesh topology / with hopping, the dead zone is able to be reduced by appropriate arrangement.
Long distance communication is possible by hopping.
Star / without hopping Mesh / with hopping

Depends on RF communication method. Realizes long distance communication and robustness.

 Recovery from system trouble by RPL
▪ In Wi-SUN FAN, the best route is automatically selected based on signal strength (frame error-rate).
▪ When the trouble of node occurred, FAN automatically searches for alternate routes and try to recover
communication.
