Investigation of The Impact of Routing Protocol in Green IoT with Netsim

Technology evolution nowadays moves vigorously to improve daily human life and directly affect the earth’s resource consumption. Reducing energy consumption leads to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emission to the surrounding, which can cause environmental and health issues. The balance of fast data transmission with efficient energy consumption is vital for achieving green IoT. One part of the IoT system, the wireless sensor, performs a duty to operate continuously without data delay. That is why most wireless sensors only collect raw data and do packet forwarding, where later it will be analyzed by another physical device. Although the sensors still need to recognize the routing topology by themselves, the energy consumed to forward the packet to its destination can be optimized. Researchers have used various ways to control energy consumption using different hardware and power management, so this research wants to focus on how using different routing protocols can impact energy consumption.
