Internet of Things (IoT) is a keyword which coins various challenges to be addressed in the area of networking and security. 6LoWPAN act as bridge between wireless sensor networks (WSN) and Internet. IoT Operating system is one of the major area, where we can able to change the behavior of the WSN nodes which is to be deployed. The main challenge in WSN is power consumption, as most of the devices used are battery powered. Medium Access Layer (MAC) and Network Layer protocols plays major role in effective utilization of power consumption. Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is universally accepted routing protocol for IOT which is designed for static environment. This paper deals with conversion of static environment to mobile environment where the nodes be dynamic in its position for mobilitybased application and modifying the parameters in existing trickle timer algorithm for mobile environment. Cooja Simulator from Contiki Operating System is used to implement the simulation experiments. Comparison was done between Static trickle timer algorithm with modified trickle timer algorithm based on power consumption for different number of nodes in a common environment.
