Abstract Internet of Things has been a pivotal technology enabler for realizing smart cities vision through the provision of connectivity for everyday objects by means of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Scalability, flexibility, route efficiency, mobility support and reduced overhead in routing protocols are desired functions in large-scale WSNs. Given the several geographic routing schemes proposed, mainly focusing on positioning, location error, and energy consumption, still exhibit higher delays and overhead which significantly affect the performance of the network. In this paper, an energy-efficient geographic (EEG) routing protocol has been proposed that focuses on network throughput and energy consumption of sensor nodes. Moreover, this strategy also helps in avoiding void region’s creation in the network. The proposed protocol reduces the energy hole problem by efficiently balancing the energy consumption among sensor nodes. The extensive simulations illustrate that the proposed scheme manages energy consumption and packet delivery ratio more efficiently in comparison to a state-of-the-art geographic routing protocol.

面向物联网传感器网络的能源和性能感知地理路由

摘要 物联网已成为通过无线传感器网络 (WSN) 为日常物品提供连接性来实现智慧城市愿景的关键技术推动者。可扩展性、灵活性、路由效率、移动性支持和路由协议中减少的开销是大规模 WSN 中所需的功能。鉴于提出的几种地理路由方案，主要集中在定位、位置误差和能耗方面，仍然表现出较高的延迟和开销，这显着影响了网络的性能。在本文中，已经提出了一种节能地理（EEG）路由协议，该协议侧重于传感器节点的网络吞吐量和能耗。此外，该策略还有助于避免在网络中创建空白区域。所提出的协议通过有效地平衡传感器节点之间的能量消耗来减少能量空洞问题。广泛的模拟表明，与最先进的地理路由协议相比，所提出的方案可以更有效地管理能耗和数据包传输率。
