Performance Metrics Analysis of Routing Algorithms for IoT Based Applications

Routing is an essential service in the IoT, since it enables the exchange of information between Things, by efficiently directing and reliably delivering data on the network from their sources to their destinations. However, routing in the IoT is also challenging, due to the global scale of the IoT, the massive number of Things in the IoT, the dynamic topology of the IoT, and the resource constraints of the IoT devices. The various applications of IoT are expected to equip more and more of everyday objects with connectivity and intelligence. It is already being deployed extensively, in various domains, namely: wearables, smart home, smart cities, smart agriculture, smart transportation and industrial application. This paper tries to study and analyze basic routing methods along with their characteristic which have been implemented in the last few years for better functioning of the IoT applications.
