Multiple Base station and Packet Priority-based clustering scheme in Internet of Things

Sensors play an integral role in the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) since sensors can be controlled by end users and data can be transmitted to distant sites through Internet. However, thousands of sensors and similar devices pose a great challenge in routing that raises the need for cluster-based routing protocol. Most existing routing protocols are not designed considering the dense architecture of IoT. It is a great challenge to render these algorithms adaptive to the changing requirements of sensor-based IoT applications since their routing policies are mostly predetermined. Thus, they are not energy efficient and fault tolerant for such mobility centric IoT. In this article, we introduce a Multiple Base station and Packet Priority-based Clustering scheme (MBPP) for IoT and evaluate its performance through computer simulations.
