Abstract
Heterogeneous mobile networks are a vital cue for Internet of Things (IoT) networks and their applications. Therefore, an optimal routing protocol is essential for the heterogeneous network to realize energy efficiency and robustness. However, designing an optimal routing protocol is more complex due to uneven energy depletion and dynamic event generation. The complexity further increases with the node mobility. In this context, the multi-hop routing approach with a controlled mobility pattern provides an energy efficient network by improving memory and storage utilization. This work proposes a new energy-efficient model for heterogeneous network, considering the effect of mobility and residual energy of nodes for cluster head selection in multi-hop-LEACH (M-LEACH). The performance of the proposed mobility induced multi-hop LEACH (Mob M-LEACH) protocol is further compared with existing baseline methods. The robustness of the network is evaluated considering static and dynamic environments for multiple network technologies. The simulation results show that the proposed method reduces network latency by 25% and enhances the throughput by 75%, improving energy consumption and network lifetime when compared with the state-of-art methods.
