“…This article extends our previous work [15] as follows: ( i ) it optimizes the process of route selection by means of end-to-end link quality evaluation and energy information; ( ii ) it employs a new method for smoothing the link quality estimation; and ( iii ) it conducts an in-depth analysis of the proposed solution for large-scale flat-based networks. It presents new simulation and testbed experiments to show the effects and benefits of REL for IoT systems.…”

“…This article addresses the problems of ensuring reliability, together with energy-efficiency and load balancing in flat-based (homogeneous nodes) WSN/IoT architectures, by proposing an extended version of a routing protocol based on energy and link quality information (REL) [15]. REL aims to overcome the drawbacks that have been discussed earlier and allows the data transmission with low latency,packet loss, and high reliability, as well as a fair distribution of wireless resources, while increasing the network lifetime, for various flat-based IoT applications, such as smart parking, intrusion detection,and monitoring of river flows.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is attracting considerable attention from the universities, industries, citizens and governments for applications, such as healthcare, environmental monitoring and smart buildings. IoT enables network connectivity between smart devices at all times, everywhere, and about everything. In this context, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play an important role in increasing the ubiquity of networks with smart devices that are low-cost and easy to deploy. However, sensor nodes are restricted in terms of energy, processing and memory. Additionally, low-power radios are very sensitive to noise, interference and multipath distortions. In this context, this article proposes a routing protocol based on Routing by Energy and Link quality (REL) for IoT applications. To increase reliability and energy-efficiency, REL selects routes on the basis of a proposed end-to-end link quality estimator mechanism, residual energy and hop count. Furthermore, REL proposes an event-driven mechanism to provide load balancing and avoid the premature energy depletion of nodes/networks. Performance evaluations were carried out using simulation and testbed experiments to show the impact and benefits of REL in Sensors 2013, 13 1943 small and large-scale networks. The results show that REL increases the network lifetime and services availability, as well as the quality of service of IoT applications. It also provides an even distribution of scarce network resources and reduces the packet loss rate, compared with the performance of well-known protocols.
