The Internet of Things (IoT) is a communication scheme which allows various objects to exchange several types of information, enabling functions such as home automation, production management, healthcare, etc. Moreover, energy-harvesting (EH) technology is considered for IoT environment in order to reduce the need for management and enhance maintainability. However, since environments considering outdoor elements such as pedestrians, vehicles and drones have been on the rise recently, it is important to consider mobility when designing an IoT network management scheme. In order to handle this challenge, prior research has made an attempt to solve this problem via variational autoencoder (VAE) and backward-pass rate evaluation method. In this article, we propose a guided-mutation genetic algorithm (GMGA) to derive a sub-optimal relaying topology for IoT systems considering energy-harvesting. Furthermore, we propose a mobility-aware iterative relaying topology algorithm, which calculates the sub-optimal relaying topology of current time frame using the topology result of the previous one. Simulation results verify that our proposed scheme effectively solves formulated IoT network problems compared to other conventional schemes, and also effectively handles IoT environments in terms of mobility.
