Routing Protocol in the Industrial Internet of Things for Smart Factory Monitoring

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing emerging topic of technical, social, and economic significance. Objects are being combined with Internet connectivity and robust data analytic capabilities that promise to transform the way we work and live. However, the Internet of Things raises several challenges that could stand in the form of realizing its potential benefits. The industrial Internet is one of many particular Internet of Things applications. While many market types of research such as Cisco see the industrial Internet as the IoT concept with the highest overall potential, its popularity currently does not reach the masses like smart home. Moving to the industrial scenario, the applications of the IoT technology often have stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements, regarding robustness, reliability, latency, determinism, energy efficiency, and security. The goal of this paper is providing a state-of-the-art approach for industrial applications. In addition, an energy-efficient routing protocol for IoT applications was evaluated.
