Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of unified devices equipped with sensors, software, and communication capabilities, facilitating the seamless exchange of data to enhance automation, efficiency and convenience across diverse applications. Routing in IoT involves the establishment and optimization of communication paths among interconnected devices, ensuring efficient data transfer and effective network management in diverse IoT applications. RPL (Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) is a specialized routing protocol designed for low-power and lossy networks in IoT. Congestion in RPL can occur when there is a heightened demand for network resources that exceeds the network's capacity to handle the traffic efficiently.Issues related to congestion in RPL include limited bandwidth, variations in link quality, energy constraints, adaptability to network changes, security implications, and the need for effective congestion management mechanisms. Addressing these issues is crucial to maintaining the performance and reliability of low-power and lossy networks in IoT environments. In this paper, an Energy and Bandwidth-aware Parent Selection mechanism is proposed to avoid congestion in RPL for IoT Networks. The proposed mechanism focuses on the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) for identifying node positions. The energy of the node is identified from the DIO message and the bandwidth of the link is also considered for selecting the node with a high bandwidth link. The energy and bandwidth of the links are calculated for all neighboring nodes. This proposed work enhances throughput from 87.9% to 89% for 50 nodes than the existing protocol.
