CONCLUSION AND FUTURE DIRECTION
In the IoT, tiny sensors are deployed to sense networks within scenarios where the sensors have limited battery capacity and battery replacement takes effort. In such a situation, the main challenging issue is the better utilization of the limited energy of the sensor node to prolong the network lifetime. An energy constraint sensor was the major design focus of this article. In the proposed routing, two mobile data collectors were used to collect data from the sensor field, which was divided into two partitions. Mobile data collectors rotated on the predefined elliptical path, and they collected data from individual sensors, sent a beacon message to the neighboring forwarding nodes, collected the sensed data from the forwarding nodes, and delivered the collected data to the base station located at the center of the sensor field. The performance of the proposed routing was superior in terms of average control packet energy consumption, average energy consumption, data delivery latency, and low end-to-end latency. This routing technique solves the energy-hole problem and has great potential for IoT applications.
