Improving IoT Communications Based on Smart Routing Algorithms

Due to the recorded success by Internet of Things (IoT) technology, more and more domains use it as a communications and exchange network such as e- health, smart cities, vehicles, etc. IoT do not stop integrating an important number of components and objects that are characterized by their complexity and heterogeneity. Such constraints make the existing routings protocols unsuitable for IoT communications. To accomplish all the expected tasks and satisfy the user services, it is important to guarantee a quality of communication that answers to the requirements of the various applications in terms of data and processing (availability, integrity, efficiency, etc.). The objective of our work in this paper is to propose a smart and efficient routing algorithm to improve the IoT communications performance. The proposed method is called SERA (Smart and Efficient Routing Algorithm) which is based on self-organization of the communications between devices according to their new parameters. The evaluation of SERA has shown that SERA improves considerably the IoT communications performance in terms of some QoS and energy efficiency parameters.
