Abstract :
The limitations of IoT have resulted in increased failures and the need for guaranteed fault tolerance to ensure adequate network performance. While previous studies have effectively improved fault tolerance by addressing various aspects of this area, previous methods are ineffective in ensuring the stability and accuracy of data exchange in the event of failure. The existence of this problem highlights the necessity of proposing a new method that can guarantee the stability and accuracy of data exchange to ensure network performance stability in case of failure. To address this, this research introduces a method called FTRTA, which is based on the enhancement of the RPL protocol and data distribution techniques. These distribution techniques are effective in improving load balancing and fault tolerance of network traffic. FTRTA is developed based on this technique and involves three operational steps. Firstly, it evaluates and analyzes the status of network nodes similar to when sending DIO messages. In the second step, it creates a network communication graph. Finally, in the third step, data transmission is performed using a distribution technique to ensure fault tolerance. Simulation results using Cooja software demonstrate the high performance of FTRTA in ensuring the stability and accuracy of data exchange, improving factors such as successful receptions and network throughput compared to similar studies.
