Abstract

It is expected that 50 billion devices in the world will be connected on IOT by 2025. The importance of wireless sensor networks cannot be overstated in this scenario. Network becomes more beneficial to an application when it can be used to its full potential, which is difficult to achieve because of limitations of resources (processor, memory, and energy). There are many existing routing mechanisms which deal with these issues by reducing number of transmissions between sensor nodes by choosing appropriate path toward base station. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol to select the optimized route by using opportunistic theory and by incorporating appropriate sleep scheduling mechanisms into it. This protocol focuses on reduction of congestion in the network and thus increases an individual node’s life, the entire network lifetime, and reduces partitioning in the network.
