Effective Integration of Reliable Routing Mechanism and Energy Efficient Node Placement Technique for Low Power IoT Networks

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is the emerging technology that links physical devices (sensor devices) with cyber systems and allows global sharing of information. In IoT applications, devices are operated by battery power and low power radio links, which are constrained by energy. In this paper, node placement technique and routing mechanism are effectively integrated in single network architecture to prolong the lifetime of IoT network. In proposed network architecture, sensor node and relay node are deployed, sensor nodes are responsible for collecting the environmental data and relay nodes are responsible for data aggregation and path computation. In node placement technique, densities of relay nodes are varied based on traffic area, to prevent energy hole problem. In routing technique, energy efficient and reliable path computation is done to reduce number of re transmissions. To adopt IoT scenario, we included IEEE 802.15.4 PHY/MAC radio and IPv6 packet structure in proposed network architecture. Proposed work result shows, proposed architecture prolongs network lifetime.

Presenting a Reliable Routing Approach in IoT Healthcare Using the Multiobjective‐Based Multiagent Approach

“…In the node placement method, the density of the intermediate nodes varies due to the traffic region, to avoid the problem of energy holes. In the routing method, to decrease the number of retransmissions, the route is calculated efficiently and reliably [34]. The main disadvantage of this method is that it does not use a backup path to send packets.…”
