Abstract

Internet of Things (IoTs) network technologies are becoming popular in delay, integrity, and security sensitive applications such as healthcare, etc. In addition, pervasive IoT network applications face challenges like computing, energy, and network management. This paper presents a novel efficient and secure protocol for emerging IoT network applications (ESPINA), which can be seamlessly hosted on both IoTs and smart edge (SE) nodes and integrated with upcoming sixth generation (6G) wireless communication and embedded systems. The proposed ESPINA protocol consists of two stages: (1) IoT network setup, and (2) data transmission. First stage of ESPINA includes initialization (ESPINAi), path discovery (ESPINAs) and security (ESPINAg) subroutines for the IoT network. Second stage ensures data transmission scheduling for IoTs and SEs associated with the network. ESPINAiot–se and ESPINAse–bs subroutines govern IoTs and selected SE(s) scheduling respectively. When compared against state-of-the-art competitors, the proposed ESPINA protocol: (a) saves 0.5% to 3.5% residual energy consumption depending on the length of the path between a SE and a base station (BS), (b) reduces computational cost from linear [e.g., O(n), where n is the node count] to constant [e.g., O(1)), c] improves security for a longer data transmission time by using its keys-renewal strategy. Low energy, linear computational cost, and better security demonstrate that performance of the ESPINA is better than the compared state-of-the-art protocols. The ESPINA is envisioned as a better candidate protocol to match the standard and expectations set by the 6G wireless communications.
