Spectrum Based Power Management for Congested IoT Networks

Abstract

With constantly increasing demand in connected society Internet of Things (IoT) network is frequently becoming congested. IoT sensor devices lose more power while transmitting data through congested IoT networks. Currently, in most scenarios, the distributed IoT devices in use have no effective spectrum based power management, and have no guarantee of a long term battery life while transmitting data through congested IoT networks. This puts user information at risk, which could lead to loss of important information in communication. In this paper, we studied the extra power consumed due to retransmission of IoT data packet and bad communication channel management in a congested IoT network. We propose a spectrum based power management solution that scans channel conditions when needed and utilizes the lowest congested channel for IoT packet routing. It also effectively measured power consumed in idle, connected, paging and synchronization status of a standard IoT device in a congested IoT network. In our proposed solution, a Freescale Freedom Development Board (FREDEVPLA) is used for managing channel related parameters. While supervising the congestion level and coordinating channel allocation at the FREDEVPLA level, our system configures MAC and Physical layer of IoT devices such that it provides the outstanding power utilization based on the operating network in connected mode compared to the basic IoT standard. A model has been set up and tested using freescale launchpads. Test data show that battery life of IoT devices using proposed spectrum based power management increases by at least 30% more than non-spectrum based power management methods embedded within IoT devices itself. Finally, we compared our results with the basic IoT standard, IEEE802.15.4. Furthermore, the proposed system saves lot of memory for IoT devices, improves overall IoT network performance, and above all, decrease the risk of losing data packets in communication. The detail analysis in this paper also opens up multiple avenues for further research in future use of channel scanning by FREDEVPLA board.

Incidence of Hyperammonemia among High-Risk Infants Admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

“…In the present study, the mean Hb was 11.25±2.57, WBCs, PLT, ALT and AST were 14.37±6.21, 232.71±115.9, 54.6±34.88 and 84.6±41.55 respectively, also BUN and creatinine were (16.95±12.36 and 0.56±0.41 respectively), +ve CRP in 85% and PCT 6.7%. Our findings are in agreement to the results of the recent study of Besher et al (11) , which demonstrated that the laboratory investigation among study group showed normal Hg, platelet (PLT) and leukocytosis in CBC, and increasing liver enzymes (AST).…”

A Review of Deep Learning Applications for the Next Generation of Cognitive Networks

“…As a result, the wireless spectrum is becoming an essential and scarce resource. Moreover, there are so many technologies coexisting together that the problems of interference, channel congestion, data collisions, and unbalanced spectrum usage become a challenge, which drastically reduces overall network performance and user experience [25,26]. In this sense, we present some works discussing solutions to this challenge.…”

Prioritization-Driven Congestion Control in Networks for the Internet of Medical Things: A Cross-Layer Proposal

“…Providing quality of service (QoS) is one of the most significant challenges [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Furthermore, considering the use of wireless networks and the presence of network congestion, this challenge becomes more difficult to solve [ 9 , 15 ]. For example, various healthcare applications that send and receive electrocardiogram (ECG) data can cause a significant increase in data traffic, which can lead to network congestion.…”
