An Energy Efficient IPv6 Packet Delivery Outline for Industrial IoT Over G.9959 Protocol Based Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)

The world is witnessing a significant paradigm shift in the delivery and management of industrial services, driven by the need for automated manufacturing in industries such as mining. This transformation is pivotal as it leverages the Internet to interconnect people and devices, giving rise to a new field known as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). IIoT represents the fusion of IoT’s computational capabilities with the principles of the industrial revolution, facilitating extensive scalability through the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. A crucial challenge within IIoT is the battery life of sensor nodes, which is directly influenced by the efficiency of their operating modules and protocols. Various protocols have been tested within IIoT-based Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to address this issue. However, these protocols often fall short in terms of data rate performance, which is essential for supporting the diverse range of IIoT applications and services. This manuscript investigates the IPv6 packet delivery rate, focusing on energy efficiency and delay. The research identifies the G.9959 protocol as superior to IEEE 802.15.4 for IIoT adoption. Additionally, it examines the impact of bandwidth variation on energy efficiency. Through comprehensive simulations, the proposed scheme demonstrates superior performance compared to existing protocols, highlighting its potential for enhancing IIoT applications.
