Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) is widely used for communication between portable and intelligent heterogeneous devices, like laptops, smartphones, computers, etc. IoT networks are popular in the modern era because they allow data to be exchanged anywhere when connected to the internet. IoT networks have several challenges, including those related to routing, connectivity, privacy, security, and other issues. The major challenge is routing in terms of choosing the best route for sharing data in IoT networks; IoT routing algorithms use more time and energy. In this paper, we review relevent literature and patents and also various routing approaches are categorized into groups, like multicast, clustering, emergency application, traffic, location, tree, and residual energy based approach, and they are compared based on several parameters, like energy consumption, network lifetime, path length, packet delivery ratio, and network latency. In terms of performance metrics, like energy consumption, network lifetime, reliability, efficiency, and packet delivery ratio, the comparison shows that Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL), Efficient Treebased Self-organizing Protocol (ETSP), Collection Tree Protocol (CTP), and Fast Multi-constrained Multicast Routing Algorithms (FAMOUS) are the best protocols. The best approach is a tree-based one since it solves the larger problem in the hierarchy with the least amount of time complexity.
