Abstract
Data transmission from sensor nodes is the biggest problem for IoT networks. Overusing communication power shortens node lifespans. Thus, network issues including QoS, security, network heterogeneity, congestion avoidance, reliable routing, and energy savings must be addressed. Routing protocols are essential for delivering data between organizations. Information gathering and consolidation require data aggregation to minimize traffic congestion, operating expenses, energy usage, and network lifespan. IoT data aggregation makes route planning dependable, energy-efficient, and difficult. Disjoint & Scalable Multipath Routing (D &SMR) is a new routing system developed using NS2 simulation. The method estimates delivery success using decision trees and neural networks. We evaluate characteristics such as (D &SMR) routing scheme predictability, node popularity, power consumption, speed, and location while training the model. Simulation results show that (D &SMR) outperforms a reliable routing system in terms of delivery success, lost messages, overhead, and hop count. The proposed hybrid routing method involves cluster construction and intra- and inter-cluster routing. The study found that (D &SMR) beats previous research in network resilience, packet transmission efficiency, end-to-end latency, and energy usage.
