Lecr: Less Energy Consumption Routing in Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) constitutes a network of various devices has an equipment with the mandatory facility of communication and optional facilities of sensing, information collecting, storage and processing. IoT network has been used for research and development purpose in many application areas such as military environment, traffic management, and e-healthcare system. IoT network was enormous in scale and complexity, mainly in terms of energy efficiency because battery lifetime is limited. The previous routing protocols for IoT are difficult and require a huge memory use and high energy consumption which are insufficient for IoT network processing. For that reason, an efficient routing algorithm needed to decrease energy consumption while communication. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes Less Energy Consumption Routing (LECR) algorithm. This algorithm reduces energy consumption using 4 ways in IoT, (1) Sleep and Wake up Scheduling, (2) Route Discovery in IoT Base Station (3) Less Power Consumption Route for Communication (4) Reduce Overhead while Routing. The experimental result proves the LECR algorithm reduces IoT devices battery drain and increases lifetime of the IoT network efficiently.
