Abstract

This research explores the potential of Machine Learning (ML) to enhance wireless communication networks, specifically in the context of Wireless Smart Grid Networks (WSGNs). We integrated ML into the well-established Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL), resulting in an advanced version called ML-RPL. This novel protocol utilizes CatBoost, a Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (GBDT) algorithm, to optimize routing decisions. The ML model, trained on a dataset of routing metrics, predicts the probability of successfully reaching a destination node. Each node in the network uses the model to choose the route with the highest probability of effectively delivering packets. Our performance evaluation, carried out in a realistic scenario and under various traffic loads, reveals that ML-RPL significantly improves the packet delivery ratio and minimizes end-to-end delay, making it a promising solution for more efficient and responsive WSGNs.
