Energy-Efficiency Comparison of Ad-hoc Routings in a Shadowing Environment for Smart IoT

Abstract

With the progress of internet of things (IoT), devices with a wireless ad-hoc function are being increasingly used. For future wireless communication systems, the use of millimeter waves, which are strongly affected by shadowing, is considered. We focus on energy-efficiency [bits/J] that combines throughput and energy consumption, which is expected to be important in future wireless communication systems, to realize smart IoT in a shadowing environment. In this paper, we compare the effects of two parameters, including shadowing deviation values, on energy-efficiency in three dimensions for both AODV and OLSR protocols in a shadowing environment using network simulator, ns3.
