Abstract:The Internet of Things is envisaged to interconnect billions of devices, from sensors and actuators to smart objects, computers and vehicles. The main obstacle that arises is that technology should allow physical objects, usually constrained devices, to interact with applications. Therefore, already existing technologies and patterns should be adapted to the new requirements, or novel ones must be created. In this context, the application layer protocols play an important part in orchestrating an IoT network. This paper focuses on the comparison of different protocols by carrying out experiments and prototyping a real-world interaction between IoT network actors.

“…The cluster tree topology could be a suitable architecture for M2M area networks as the routers or gateways could be placed close to end devices reducing transmission power consumption and avoiding radio channel impairments. The medium access control protocol is another critical design issue for M2M area networks [18]. An M2M area network could be considered as a local and/or personal area network where one of three different classes of MAC protocols is used.…”

Abstract:With the increasing demand of Machine to Machine (M2M) communications and Internet of Things (IoT) services it is necessary to develop a new network architecture and protocols to support cost effective, distributed computing systems. Generally, M2M and IoT applications serve a large number of intelligent devices, such as sensors and actuators, which are distributed over large geographical areas. To deploy M2M communication and IoT sensor nodes in a cost-effective manner over a large geographical area, it is necessary to develop a new network architecture that is cost effective, as well as energy efficient. This paper presents an IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15.4 standards-based heterogeneous network architecture to support M2M communication services over a wide geographical area. For the proposed heterogeneous network, we developed a new cooperative Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) medium access control (MAC) protocol to transmit packets using a shared channel in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. One of the key problems of the IEEE 802.11/802.15.4 heterogeneous network in a dense networking environment is the coexistence problem in which the two protocols interfere with each other causing performance degradation. This paper introduces a cooperative MAC protocol that utilizes a new signaling technique known as the Blank Burst (BB) to avoid the coexistence problem. The proposed MAC protocol improves the network QoS of M2M area networks. The developed network architecture offers significant energy efficiency, and operational expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX) advantages over 3G/4G cellular standards-based wide area networks.

“…As one of the most promising techniques for Industry 4.0, IWSNs are becoming a popular trend in industry applications [2] where rigorous requirements of real-timeliness and reliability are imposed. To address these requirements, recently international standards on IWSNs, including WirelessHART [3], ISA 100.11a [4], WIA-PA [5] and WIA-FA [6], have been released.…”

Abstract-Real-timeliness and reliability are two basic requirements for industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs). In this paper, periodic heterogeneous traffics with delay constraints are concerned in an IWSN with multiple access points (thus forming a redundant star topology). In order to improve the reliability while meeting the real-timeliness and fairness, we propose a fairness-aware scheduling (FAS) algorithm, in which three heuristic rules are first designed based on a novel penalty mechanism. Then, in each slot field devices are classified into six priorities according to the above three rules. Finally, the current slot is allocated to field devices in accordance with their priorities and communication ranges in a space division multiplexing way. A performance study is carried out by simulation, and the results show that the proposed FAS algorithm performs much better than existing works in terms of reliability and fairness.
