Abstract

The scientific and business communities are showing considerable interest in wireless sensor networks (WSN). The availability of low-cost, small-scale components like CPUs, radios, and sensors, which are often combined into a single chip, is crucial. Parallel to the evolution of WSNs, the concepts of the IoT have been evolving in recent years. Wireless communication technologies may play a significant role in the implementation of IoT, despite the fact that IoT does not need or require any particular technology for communication. WSN assisted IoT networks can drive several applications in many industries. The proposed research explores the possibility of enhancing energy efficiency in WSN-assisted IoTN by balancing various challenging sensor network performance metrics. The base station's current placement inside the sensing field is predetermined by the preexisting routing algorithms. Our study examines the impact of base station placement outside and within the prescribed sensing domains on energy consumption and network longevity. In addition, methods for transferring data from the distributed source sensor to the base station while minimizing energy consumption are investigated. In this preliminary study, we focus on developing an algorithm for WSN-Assisted IoTN that can balance network factors such as hop count, communication distance, and residual energy. To further optimize the routing route between local cluster heads and the base station, a novel network architecture is built based on the Ant-optimization model, which uses centroid routing to balance energy consumption among local clusters. An open-source Network Simulator (NS-3) is used to model the behaviour of the proposed routing protocols and compare them to comparable existing network protocols. All of the suggested protocols have the same fundamentals for creating networks, however they vary in terms of routing, optimization, and performance depending on the development effort under consideration.
