The internet of things (IoT) requires connecting various physical devices, including computing and mechanical devices to the internet. IPv6 over low power wireless personal area networks (6LoWPAN) is the great option for realizing IoT. IEEE 802.15.4 defines the physical and medium access control (MAC) layers of 6LoWPAN. MAC layer of 6LoWPAN plays an important role in the efficient utilization of resources and energy consumption of 6LoWPAN devices. The contribution of this paper is the improvement of resource utilization of 6LoWPAN devices including energy consumption and delay using Lamport’s algorithm in the MAC layer instead of the conventional carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance approach. The proposed Lamport’s algorithm protocol shows a significant improvement in energy consumption and throughput of 6LoWPAN devices.
