Abstract

In the early 2000s, the idea of using the Internet to automate the exchange of data between devices was born. With the development of electronics capable of interacting via IP  protocols, this concept has evolved into the modern understanding of the Internet of Things (IoT). Today, networking is evolving rapidly, with new technologies emerging: all-optical solutions for network backbone, wireless technologies to facilitate user access and deployment of sensors in hard-to-reach places, and IoT networks that enable communication between devices. This evolution raises new research questions and challenges, such as traffic optimization and tool efficiency. Often, solving these problems involves the use of graph models. The study of optimization in networks is a key area as IoT networks generate more and more data, which is becoming a challenge for traffic management at the operator level.
IoT is the idea of connecting ordinary devices to the Internet to exchange data. Optimizing IoT networks offers a number of benefits, such as improved traffic control, increased reliability, energy efficiency, reduced latency, increased bandwidth, and accelerated deployment of new devices and services. Devices with limited resources are being connected in billions of IoT networks. Problems such as packet loss put additional strain on these networks. Therefore, it is important to address various issues related to routing, energy saving, congestion, heterogeneity, scalability, reliability, and security to maximize the use of available IoT network resources.
This article presents a comprehensive study of IoT network optimization. The study is relevant due to the constant growth in the number of devices connected to the IoT network that transmit data and require significant energy resources to maintain the networks. Uninterrupted operation of networks and long-term operation of data collection systems without battery replacement require a constant power supply. This creates a need to improve the methods of interaction between nodes of large networks to increase energy efficiency and speed up data processing.
