Decentralized type of network is used in internet of things environment, in which nodes communicate with each other and data is transferred to the internet via base station. The communication routing is applied using RPL (IPV6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Network) in IoT. It is systematic routing protocol for LLNs (Low Power and Lossy Network). To ensure the mobility in RPL, MRPL (mRPL: Boosting mobility in the Internet of Things) is introduced. Energy consumption is one of the important criteria for mobile nodes because they are battery-powered. So, EC-MRPL (EC-MRPL: An energy-efficient and mobility support routing protocol for the Internet of Mobile Things), an enhancement of MRPL is introduced to improve the energy efficiency in MRPL. In this paper we proposed novel strategy to enhance the energy efficiency and network performance in EC-MRPL and MRPL. A cluster based approach is proposed to handle the traffic and energy consumption efficiently. Our proposed approach is implemented in ns-2 (Network Simulator Version 2) and our experimental results depict that the proposed approach is more energy efficient and has better performance in terms of delay and throughput with compared to MRPL protocol.
