ACIAR: application-centric information-aware routing technique for IOT platform assisted by wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is integrated with internet of things (IoT) for providing feasible solution towards data handling and information access, in a ubiquitous manner. The operations of the IoT platform are backboned by the sensor nodes to meet the end-user application demands. Contrarily, the intrinsic behavior and resource constraint nature of the nodes degrade the performance of the IoT application and services. To suppress the issues in WSN communication due to energy and data handling, application-centric information-aware routing (ACIAR) technique is introduced in this article. This routing technique focuses on route discovery and information handling with the aid of iterative decision process and weighted neighbor selection to grant seamless support for IoT data requirements. The process of weighted neighbor selection is adaptable depending on the requirement and run-time of the application ensuring unanimous data support from the sensor network using ACIAR. The performance of the proposed routing technique is estimated using the metrics throughput, delay, data loss, transmission and residual energy.
