Internet of Things (IoT) allows people and things to be connected anything, anytime, anyplace and anyone ideally by using network. In IoT environment the massive devices makes the forwarding of data from source to sink is more critical. So packets should be routed efficiently in the network by reducing congestion, packet loss and delay rate. The redundant deployment of network equipment reduces the network utilization, which will degrade the energy efficiency of networks. In many of the IoT applications, often involves battery powered nodes which are active for a long period, without any human control after the initial deployment. The improper use of routing techniques is the common reasons of drain out the battery within few days. So there is a need to develop some new energy efficient routing algorithms and protocols. This paper focuses on the energy efficient routing mechanism using link quality based clustering algorithm. The proposed method provides reduced energy consumption, maximizing the network coverage, less packet loss and reduced delay rate.

Keywords- Internet of Things, Routing in IoT, Clustering Algorithm and Link Quality.
