Software-defined networking (SDN) is a modern network architecture, which separates the network control plane from the data plane. Considering the gradual migration from traditional networks to SDNs, the hybrid SDN, which consists of SDN-enabled devices and legacy devices, is an intermediate state. For wide-area hybrid SDNs, to guarantee the control performance, such as low latency, multi SDN controllers are usually needed to be deployed at different places. How to assign them to switches and partition the network into several control domains is a critical problem. For this problem, the control latency and the packet loss rate of control messages are important metrics, which have been considered in a lot of previous works. However, hybrid SDNs have their unique characters, which can affect the assignment scheme and have been ignored by previous studies. For example, control messages pass through Legacy Forwarding Devices (LFDs) in hybrid SDNs and cause more latency and packet loss rate for queuing compared with SDN-enabled Forwarding Devices (SFDs). In this paper, we propose a dynamic controller assignment scheme in hybrid SDNs, which is called the Legacy Based Assignment (LBA). This scheme can dynamically delegate each controller with a subset of SFDs in the hybrid SDNs, whose objective is to minimize average SFD-to-control latency. We performed some experiments compared with other schemes, which show that our scheme has a better performance in terms of the latency and the packet loss rate.

In order to overcome the problems of high energy consumption and low execution efficiency of traditional Internet of things (IOT) packet loss rate monitoring model, a new packet loss rate monitoring model based on differential evolution algorithm is proposed. The similarity between each data point in the data space of the Internet of things is set as the data gravity. On the basis of the data gravity, combined with the law of gravity in the data space, the gravity of different data is calculated. At the same time, the size of the data gravity is compared, and the data are classified. Through the classification results, the packet loss rate monitoring model of the Internet of things is established. Differential evolution algorithm is used to solve the model to obtain the best monitoring scheme to ensure the security of network data transmission. The experimental results show that the proposed model can effectively reduce the data acquisition overhead and energy consumption, and improve the execution efficiency of the model. The maximum monitoring efficiency is 99.74%.

To solve the problem of sensing coverage of sparse wireless sensor networks, the movement of sensor nodes is considered and a sensing coverage algorithm of sparse mobile sensor node with trade-off between packet loss rate and transmission delay (SCA_SM) is proposed. Firstly, SCA_SM divides the monitoring area into several grids of same size and establishes a path planning model of multisensor nodes’ movement. Secondly, the social foraging behavior of Escherichia coli in bacterial foraging is used. A fitness function formula of sensor nodes’ moving paths is proposed. The optimal moving paths of all mobile sensor nodes which can cover the entire monitoring area are obtained through the operations of chemotaxis, replication, and migration. The simulation results show that SCA_SM can fully cover the monitoring area and reduce the packet loss rate and data transmission delay in the process of data transmission. Under certain conditions, SCA_SM is better than RAND_D, HILBERT, and TCM.

This paper is a collection of telemedicine techniques used by wireless body area networks (WBANs) for emergency conditions. Furthermore, Bayes’ theorem is proposed for predicting emergency conditions. With prior knowledge, the posterior probability can be found along with the observed evidence. The probability of sending emergency messages can be determined using Bayes’ theorem with the likelihood evidence. It can be viewed as medical decision-making, since diagnosis conditions such as emergency monitoring, delay-sensitive monitoring, and general monitoring are analyzed with its network characteristics, including data rate, cost, packet loss rate, latency, and jitter. This paper explains the network model with 16 variables, with one describing immediate consultation, as well as another three describing emergency monitoring, delay-sensitive monitoring, and general monitoring. The remaining 12 variables are observations related to latency, cost, packet loss rate, data rate, and jitter.

This paper analyzes the characteristics of current monitoring wireless sensor networks for coal mine safety and two kinds of typical system network architecture of mining working face in coal mine firstly, and then analyzes the network performance of the two kinds of network system theoretically. In order to compare the performance of WSN adopting linear topology and hybrid topology, we build the simulation model using NS2 to evaluate the performance through three indexes, i.e. total energy consumption, packet loss rate and average transmission latency. The research results show that the network adopting hybrid topology has better energy efficiency, and the network adopting linear topology has better performance in packet loss rate and average transmission latency.
