A Comprehensive Review of Energy-Based Routing Strategies for Internet of Things

Abstract

IoT is the acronym for Internet of Things acronym. At present IoT is a buzzword amongst academia, research and industry communities. Everything surrounded by us have developed abilities to communicate via the medium of internet. The Routing information plays a vital role in establishing communication between nodes in the space of IoT. Maximum energy of such connected nodes is consumed in the process of routing the packets. In this context optimizing the network lifetime with minimal energy consumption becomes important for efficient implementation of IoT infrastructure. This literature review is has the objective to identify the limitations existing in improving the network usability and thus enhance the network lifetime. The focus of this review is to consider various parameters like Quality of Service (QoS), efficient node deployment techniques, Network lifetime for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). A comprehensive and systematic study of Routing challenges encountered in an IoT network is accomplished. Further the performance of various energy routing protocols are studied.
