Internet of Things technology has given rise to Smart Cities, Smart Health, Smart Transport Logistics, Smart Production and Supply chain management, Smart Home and the list is long. Smart city deployments are gaining momentum around the world. Security and Reliability of IoT infrastructure in smart cities remain important challenges. In this regard, ROLL-WG has standardised RPL for urban environment (RFC 5548). RPL is designed to address the needs of constrained IoT environment. RPL uses Objective Functions (ETX & Hop Count) to optimise parent selection as well as route selection. Newer Objective Functions for IoT applications are suggested by researchers to manage network and security. In this paper, we propose Multi DODAG’s in RPL for improved performance and reliable smart city applications.We have tested the proposed model in Contiki OS with Cooja simulator. Proposed model provides improved efficiency in convergence time, Packet Delivery Ratio, Control Traffic Overhead, Power consumption. For reliability, node participation is evaluated. Hence, Multi DODAG’s in RPLcan better optimize constrained resources and provide reliability to the network.
