The coordination of nodes in the Internet of Things

Based on distributed condition, this paper proposes a method to solve the problem of coordinating nodes in the Internet of Things. This method can be divided into two parts: in the Known Area, an elected leader controls the groups to ensure the coordination of the nodes; in the Unknown Area, Cloud taking the task of searching and communicating implements the coordination of the nodes. Based on the characteristics of the nodes in the Internet of Things, a new kind of nodes classification and a new way of leader election are proposed during the procedure of this method. Compared with other methods in coordinating nodes, this method simplifies the construction of the network and effectively adapts to the characteristics of coordination of nodes in the Internet of Things.
