Mobility Management Protocols in Internet of Things: A Critique

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an evolving paradigm where the system is inter-connected and inter-related with numerous objects, which can gather and transmit data over a wireless sensor network (WSN) without human intervention. The data transmission is accomplished by loT based routing protocols. The data packets are transmitted from the source to the destination in the routing process. The proficiency of routing protocol is accomplished by minimizing the path cost. In the context of IoT, the objects and devices are powered by a battery. Hence, protocol routing plays a prominent role in the conservation of energy. The IoT based protocols in WSN and their routing mechanism is detailed in this study. Additionally, the Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is discussed in this article, along with the issues.
