Optimizing IoT Network Performance: A Review of Contemporary Routing Protocols

Abstract

Introduction: The large-scale application of IoT devices transforms the diverse facets of living. Currently, a wide variety of IoT-based applications are developed and executed. IoT includes interconnected objects embedded with sensors interacting with other objects and humans.

Objectives: These objects can sense, monitor the surroundings, and transform that information. IoT increases the utility of the Internet by incorporating devices for collaboration using embedded systems that lead to an extremely distributed collection of devices cooperating with humans in addition to other devices.

Methods: With rapid advances in primary technologies, IoT incredible chances for a huge number of applications that promise to improve the excellence of societies including the mobility of the device.

Results: Consequently, facing several challenges like ensuring security, efficient routing, energy efficiency, and effective resource allocation are in the implementation of IoT and MIoT-based networks.

Conclusions: In this paper, diverse routing protocols designed for of IoT and MIoT-based networks are discussed in detail.
