Routing Protocols Analysis for Internet of Things
Huamei Xin, Kun Yang · 2015
Internet of things (IoT) has become an emerging new technology. Things having identities and virtual personalities use intelligent interfaces to connect and communicate within social environmental and user contexts. This paper first studied the mechanisms of some existing routing protocols such as AODV, DSR and OLSR, which is widely used in Ad Hoc networks. And then their performance in IoT circumstances is exploited to find an appropriate routing mechanism for the future IoT. The routing overhead, average end to end delay and throughput were also compared to find a suitable routing protocol scheme for the IoT. Simulation result shows that DSR mechanism performs better in terms of routing overhead. The mechanism of AODV can have better performances in terms of throughput.
