Low Power Mesh Network System

Abstract: The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT (IIoT) requires reliable, energy- efficient communication across resource-constrained wireless nodes. Traditional single-hop topologies often struggle with range limitations and power drain, while standard multihop protocols can introduce significant control overhead. This paper presents a Low-Power Mesh Network System engineered to optimize routing efficiency, extend network operational lifetime, and minimize overall energy consumption. By integrating lightweight communication protocols with dynamic power-management techniques and multihop routing strategies, the proposed architecture significantly reduces control signal overhead and packet loss during data transmission. Experimental evaluations and comparative analysis demonstrate that the proposed system achieves substantial power savings compared to standard multihop frameworks while maintaining low latency and high transmission reliability across dense sensor networks. The results confirm the viability and scalability of this low-power mesh network for real-time monitoring in smart agriculture, industrial automation, and smart environment deployments.
