Hierarchical Tree-based Optimized Communication for Real Time Event Driven Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of Things envisions to support real time application processing and operations in a heterogeneous environment. It acts as an umbrella framework where smart objects perform communication, computation and coordination activities. To detect, gather and report such activities occurring in a distributed environment, an event driven system is needed. These activities are affected by energy consumption and average delay in the network. In this context, an optimized communication hierarchy is needed for effective reporting of events. Moreover, among many approaches proposed to optimize the energy consumption, reducing the number of transmissions and effective routing strategy are considered as an accomplishment. In this view, this paper proposes a tree-based optimized communication method for event driven Internet of Things. It focuses on balancing the workload of the devices in the IoT environment. The proposed algorithm is evaluated for efficacy on IoT based platform.
