Design of an Optimized Multicast Routing Algorithm for Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a fast- growing technology in on-going research field that includes wireless sensor networks, cloud computing, big data analytics, ubiquitous computing, distributed decentralized systems, pervasive computing, embedded systems, mobile computing, machine learning etc. The above mentioned fields are mainly connected with IoT smart portable devices such as smartphones, home appliances, healthcare device, smart vehicle devices automation industry devices, etc. Though IoT enabled devices has been increased in many fields, the industries still faces many problem with connectivity issues because of several factors like mobility nature of devices; limited processing power and resource availability which includes energy, bandwidth constraints, routing cost and end to end delay; communication between node to node via intermediate mobile nodes towards destination may also fail links frequently, there by affecting the network performance. These limitations of existing topology based on reactive tree and mesh based routing protocols create challenging task while designing an optimized stable routing algorithm for IoT. In such a situation, resource optimization is an essential task to be performed by the IoT networks. In the proposed work resource optimization was done by Designed Optimized Multicast Routing Algorithm (DOMRA) for IoT. The DOMR algorithm implemented has route discovery process with nodes positions, directions of nodes, velocities of nodes, and then the path stability bases to overcome the connectivity issues. The proposed algorithm focusing to deploy various real time IoT enabled applications such as smart home automation, smart cites, smart agriculture, automation industry etc. To finalize the simulation results shows maximized system throughput, goodput, packet delivery ratio, network lifetime, network routing performance and reduced control overheads. The proposed algorithm hence produced better routing performance when compared with other existing algorithm in wireless networks.
