To Study Variation Of Energy Consumption In Iot Networks

Routing protocols play a crucial role in determining the rate of data transfer on IoT networks. In the absence of routing protocols it will be difficult for the IoT networks to deliver ubiquitous services to its end users. This paper uses AODV protocol for establishing communication among the source and sink node through simulations. AODV is energy efficient as compared to other reactive protocols as it selects the shortest possible routing path.Average values of transmission delay and energy consumption by the nodes have been calculated for network scenario of 30,40, 50, 60 and 70 nodes. The variation in energy consumption during communication process for all these networks have been studied which indicate that energy consumption varies with the distance among the communicating nodes in the routing path. Similarly delay also varies with the distance of the sink node from the base station.
