Energy efficient resource reservation mechanism for constrained networks

Internet of Things is a buzz word of today's world. It enables communication between objects by connecting them to form a network. These devices are capable of collecting diverse type of data, which benefits in making human life safe and smart. Conventional Wireless sensor networks have gained popularity as it is one of the invaluable resources for bringing IOT to reality. Wireless Sensor Networks provides the basic infrastructure for Internet of Things. It is the key source of obtaining data from the physical world. Wireless Sensor Networks is a constrained network comprising large number of battery operated sensor nodes deployed for various tasks containing diverse types. Since they are operated on batteries saving energy is a main concern. The information that is sensed from the nodes is decisive and has to reach the destination in time. Providing best effort data delivery by saving energy enforces challenges in authentic and real time delivery of data. Optimal usage of resources for handling critical data satisfying the QOS requirements and also saving energy is challenging in this constrained network. This paper proposes energy efficient resource reservation mechanism which has resulted in optimal utilization of resources by reserving and allocating sufficient resources for prominent and critical data. Hence increasing the energy efficiency and system performance.
