Trickle-E: Enhanced Trickle Timer with Residual Energy Consideration
摘要
Trickle Timer protocol is widely used in IoT networks to regulate message delivery by minimising redundant transmissions. However, its static approach to transmission parameters leads to inefficiencies in dynamic network environments. To address these limitations, we propose Trickle-E which is an adaptive enhancement to the Trickle Timer. Thanks to intelligent management of transmission intervals and optimised redundancy suppression, Trickle-E significantly improves several performance metrics. Simulations show a reduction in latency, improved energy efficiency and a higher packet delivery rate (PDR) compared with the traditional Trickle Timer. These results demonstrate that Trickle-E is particularly well suited to networks with high variability in density and activity, ensuring more efficient and reliable message delivery.
