Recently, a growing trend has emerged toward using Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of industrial systems, which is referred to as industrial IoT. To deal with the time‐critical requirements of industrial applications, it is necessary to consider reliability and timeliness during the design of an industrial IoT system. Through the separation of the control plane and the data plane, software‐defined...
There is an increasing demand in designing heterogeneous networks, where various low-power wireless radios such as ZigBee and Bluetooth devices coexist, while sensing devices may generate traffic with different intervals. In this work, we devise an architecture of a cross layer controller, encompassing a software defined radio at the data plane to manage radio access, and a software defined networking...
Congestion control is a challenging issue in wireless sensor networks with limited channel bandwidth. Thus, many protocols have been designed to provide a distributed traffic control during packet forwarding. However, all these approaches are applied to single-hop communication networks, ignoring the multi-hop restrictions. In this work, we take advantage of software defined networking paradigm by...
Ensuring interoperability in the future Internet of Things applications can be a challenging task, especially in mission-critical applications such as Health Monitoring Systems. Existing low-power wireless network architectures are designed in isolated networks, and ensure a satisfying level of performance in homogeneous networks. However, with co-existence of different low-power networks, the interoperability...
Timely delivery of critical traffic is a major challenge in industrial applications. The Wireless Dominance (WiDOM) medium access control protocol offers a very large number of priority levels to suit time sensitive application requirements. In particular, assuming that its overhead is properly modeled, WiDOM enables an accurate evaluation of the network response time in the wireless domain, through...
With the reduction in size and cost of sensor nodes, dense sensor networks are becoming more popular in a wide-range of applications. Many such applications with dense deployments are geared towards finding various patterns or features such as peaks, boundaries and shapes in the spread of sensed physical quantities over an area. However, collecting all the data from individual sensor nodes can be...
Very dense networks offer a better resolution of the physical world and therefore a better capability of detecting the occurrence of an event; this is of paramount importance for a number of industrial applications. However, the scale of such systems poses huge challenges in terms of interconnectivity and timely data processing. In this paper we will look at efficient scalable data acquisition methods...
In this paper, we propose a new medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks for environmental monitoring applications. The proposed MAC scheme is specifically designed for wireless sensor networks which have periodic traffic with different sampling rates. In our protocol design, only sink can start and maintain synchronization and also determine the time schedule for all other...
