Poster Abstract: Block Cycle Length–Based Asymmetric Rendezvous Protocol for IoT Applications

In the Internet of Things (IoT) environment, a sensor network protocol must satisfy various application-specific requirements such as synchronous, asynchronous, symmetric, and asymmetric operations. Most block design-based neighbor discovery protocols can not support asymmetric operations. In this paper, we propose a new block cycle length-based asymmetric rendezvous protocol for neighbor discovery. The proposed protocol has better energy efficiency and shorter latency than existing asynchronous neighbor discovery protocols since it is based on optimized block designs.
