Mélange: Supporting heterogeneous QoS requirements in delay tolerant sensor networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In sparse mobile sensor networks, nodes have a small number of neighbors with intermittent connectivity. This paper presents a new networking protocol for this type of network, aimed at maximizing system performance in terms of both delay and reliability. The system is motivated by the observation that many applications on this type of network have two kinds of co-existing data packets: those with real-time constraints and those with reliability constraints. By treating these packets differently, we are able to better meet the needs of both. We show that our approach outperforms ordinary epidemic routing when packets with different types of QoS requirements exist in the network.

Modelling the Integrated QoS for Wireless Sensor Networks with Heterogeneous Data Traffic
The future of Internet of Things (IoT) is envisaged to consist of a high amount of wireless resource-constrained devices connected to the Internet. Moreover, a lot of novel real-world services offered by IoT devices are realized by wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Integrating WSN to the Internet has therefore brought forward the requirements of an end-to-end quality of service (QoS) guarantee. ...
