Similar to how humans communicate, devices will have to communicate with each other in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Where the devices themselves become the users of the knowledge or the data that is acquired. Hence we can say that device-to-device communication becomes an intrinsic part of IoT. Devices have to communicate autonomously with each other without any centralized monitoring system. It will be more powerful when the devices can communicate in a multi-hop manner rather than a single-hop manner where the information when and where needed can be accumulated and used. This leads to a need where there must be a group communication between the devices in a particular network. Hence information about the network and the environment in which the devices operate can be identified and the relevant knowledge can be transferred to a peer network or a device for further information gathering or the peer nodes can be used as intermediate nodes in the multi-hop network. Here we are proposing a network of multi-hop interconnected intelligent IoT devices that can communicate among its peer devices gather information and send the information in a multi-hop fashion making using of the adjacent networks or clusters.
