Routing Protocols for Constraint Devices Internet of Things Network

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is an uprising innovative technology which is gaining popularity day by day. In an IoT network, devices are connected with each other at anytime anywhere in the world. The communication of devices within an IoT network requires routing protocols so that can easily exchange information among themselves as well as they can access the information that has been collected by different interconnected objects. In addition to this, routing protocols are indispensable for resource constrained environments, Low Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) in an IoT network so that the information can be exchanged at the cost of relatively low bandwidth. Routing protocols are needed in huge networks environments where enormous data traffic lead to congestions in an IoT network that results in delay, packet loss, and low throughput. This paper focuses on reporting some of the routing protocols meant for data transmission in an IoT environment for both small scale constrained gadgets as well as for large scale devices.
