Elastic Hop Count Trickle Timer Algorithm in Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that allows machines to communicate with each other without the need for human interaction. Usually, IoT devices are connected via network. A wide range network technologies required make concept operate successfully; as result, protocols at various layers used. One most extensively used layer routing Routing Protocol Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL). primary components RPL trickle timer method. algorithm directly impacts time it takes control messages arrive. It has listen-only period, which causes load imbalance delays nodes in algorithm. By making method run dynamically based on hop count, this research proposed novel way dealing difficulties traditional algorithm, called Elastic Hop Count Trickle Timer Algorithm. Simulation experiments have been implemented using Contiki Cooja 3.0 simulator study performance employing dynamic approach. results proved outperforms e-trickle terms consumed power, convergence time, packet delivery ratio.
