Design of Energy efficient IoT Network Protocols with Improved Security Privacy and Lifetime

Abstract

The widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) networks across various newlineapplications, encompassing agriculture, healthcare, environment, commercial, and newlineindustrial systems, has led to the dense deployment of IoT nodes throughout monitoring newlineregions. Despite this proliferation, resource-constrained devices, primarily dependent on newlinebattery power, confront challenges such as node failures and data inaccuracies arising newlinefrom environmental factors. However, these devices encounter further difficulties in newlineharsh environments like remote areas, where replacing power sources poses a significant newlinechallenge. Efficient power management becomes paramount for enabling these devices newlineto operate autonomously without human intervention. Energy efficiency emerges as the newlineprimary challenge for IoT networks, directly impacting the operational lifespan of newlineindividual nodes and the overall effectiveness of the network. IoT networks transmit newlineextensive data, making strong security measures crucial for protection against cyber newlinethreats and unauthorized access. Cluster-based routing methods are pivotal in enhancing energy efficiency and newlineprolonging the lifespan of IoT networks. Even though the cluster-based routing newlineprotocols provide energy-efficient and scalable IoT networks, there are some concerns newlinethat need to be addressed. For applications relying on continuous data collection and newlinetransmission, achieving energy-efficient cluster formation with minimal energy newlineconsumption for data transmission is a significant concern. A novel topology formation newlineand communication protocol for a swarm of IoT nodes has been introduced to minimize newlineenergy usage and extend operational lifespan. newline newline
