Abstract

Internet of things establishes communication among heterogeneous devices. IoT network is low power and lossy network known as LLN. The components in LLN use low power for its operations. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has defined routing protocol for standardized LLN, i.e., routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks (RPL). One of the major challenges in RPL is efficient conservation of node energy to improve the life of the LLN network. In the RPL network, most of the energy is consumed while regulating and controlling the packets rather than transmission. The algorithm used for regulating and controlling packet in RPL is called trickle timer algorithm. Hence to improve the lifetime of network it is essential to modify the existing trickle timer algorithm. In this paper, we have proposed a new algorithm called EE-trickle. The performance of EE-trickle is compared with existing trickle using the simulator Cooja and using open test bed of future Internet of things lab. From the experiments, it is identified that EE-trickle provides better PDR along with less energy consumption than the existing trickle. Hence, the paper helps the future researchers who work on energy consumption in RPL to make use of EE-trickle in their experiment rather than existing trickle.
