A Bio-Inspired Routing Optimization in UAV-enabled Internet of Everything

Internet of Everything(IoE)indicates a fantastic vision of the future,where everything is connected to the internet,providing intelligent services and facilitating decision making.IoE is the collection of static and moving objects able to coordinate and communicate with each other.The moving objects may consist of ground segments and ying segments.The speed of ying segment e.g.,Unmanned Ariel Vehicles(UAVs)may high as compared to ground segment objects.The topology changes occur very frequently due to high speed nature of objects in UAV-enabled IoE(Ue-IoE).The routing maintenance overhead may increase when scaling the Ue-IoE(number of objects increases).A single change in topology can force all the objects of the Ue-IoE to update their routing tables.Similarly,the frequent updating in routing table entries will result more energy dissipation and the lifetime of the Ue-IoE may decrease.The objects consume more energy on routing computations.To prevent the frequent updation of routing tables associated with each object,the computation of routes from source to destination may be limited to optimum number of objects in the Ue-IoE.In this article,we propose a routing scheme in which the responsibility of route computation(from neighbor objects to destination)is assigned to some IoE-objects in the Ue-IoE.The route computation objects(RCO)are selected on the basis of certain parameters like remaining energy and mobility.The RCO send the routing information of destination objects to their neighbors once they want to communicate with other objects.The proposed protocol is simulated and the results show that it outperform state-of-the-art protocols in terms of average energy consumption,messages overhead,throughput,delay etc.
