Hybrid protocol for Energy Proficient Routing in IoT Networks using Swarm Intelligence

Abstract

In modern era Internet of Things (IoTs) are commonly used in various fields of life because of their infrastructure free deployment and smartness. WSNbased IoTs Network are one of commonly deployed IoTs Network. One of critical issue with IoTs is network lifespan depending on energy resource. Energy harvesting is must for near-infinite lifespan of WSN-based IoTs network. Energy harvesting systems could be better managed by using effective energy prediction models so efficient energy prediction models will be utilized for efficient harvesting from ambient sources like solar, wind and RF etc. The EH techniques has promoted a paradigm shift in the design of routing protocols for IoTs Network from Energy-Aware to Energy Harvesting-aware. Also routing protocol is a brain of communication network where thousands of nodes are working in parallel. Here we present work on a hybrid protocol for WSN-based IoTs network, which combines energy prediction and harvesting mechanism with Swarm Intelligence and we propose a Hybrid Protocol for Energy proficient routing in IoTs Network i-e Energy Harvesting Aware BeeSensor (EHA-BeeSensor) routing protocol. The proposed Hybrid routing protocol based energy prediction and harvesting model combined with Swarm intelligence will be helpful to satisfy energy efficiency and quality of service requirements of WSN-based IoTs Network.
