Network Flooding

The Internet of Things has gained substantial attention over the last few years, because of connecting daily things in a wide range of application and domains. A large number of sensors require bandwidth and network resources to give-and-take queries among a heterogeneous IoT network. Network flooding is a key questioning strategy for successful exchange of queries. However, the risk of the original flooding is prone to unwanted and redundant network queries which may lead to heavy network traffic. Redundant, unwanted, and flooded queries are major causes of inefficient utilization of resources. IoT devices consume more energy and high computational time. More queries leads to consumption of more bandwidth, cost, and miserable QoS. Current existing approaches focused primarily on how to speed up the basic routing for IoT devices. However, solutions for flooding are not being addressed. In this paper, we propose a cluster-based flooding (CBF) as an interoperable solution for network and sensor layer devices which is also capable minimizing the energy consumption, cost, network flooding, identifying, and eliminating of redundant flooding queries using query control mechanisms. The proposed CBF divides the network into different clusters, local queries for information are proactively maintained by the intralayer cluster (IALC), while the interlayer cluster (IELC) is responsible for reactively obtain the routing queries to the destinations outside the cluster. CBF is a hybrid approach, having the potential to be more efficient against traditional schemes in term of query traffic generation. However, in the absence of appropriate redundant query detection and termination techniques, the CBF may generate more control traffic compared to the standard flooding techniques. In this research work, we used Cooja simulator to evaluate the performance of the proposed CBF. According to the simulation results the proposed technique has superiority in term of traffic delay, QoS/throughput, and energy consumption, under various performance metrics compared with traditional flooding and state of the art.

Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates a wide range of applications through sensor-based connected devices that require bandwidth and other network resources. Enhancement of efficient utilization of a heterogeneous IoT network is an open optimization problem that is mostly suffered by network flooding. Redundant, unwanted, and flooded queries are major causes of inefficient utilization of resources. Several query control mechanisms in the literature claimed to cater to the issues related to bandwidth, cost, and Quality of Service (QoS). This research article presented a statistical performance evaluation of different query control mechanisms that addressed minimization of energy consumption, energy cost and network flooding. Specifically, it evaluated the performance measure of Query Control Mechanism (QCM) for QoS-enabled layered-based clustering for reactive flooding in the Internet of Things. By statistical means, this study inferred the significant achievement of the QCM algorithm that outperformed the prevailing algorithms, i.e., Divide-and-Conquer (DnC), Service Level Agreements (SLA), and Hybrid Energy-aware Clustering Protocol for IoT (Hy-IoT) for identification and elimination of redundant flooding queries. The inferential analysis for performance evaluation of algorithms was measured in terms of three scenarios, i.e., energy consumption, delays and throughput with different intervals of traffic, malicious mote and malicious mote with realistic condition. It is evident from the results that the QCM algorithm outperforms the existing algorithms and the statistical probability value “P” < 0.05 indicates the performance of QCM is significant at the 95% confidence interval. Hence, it could be inferred from findings that the performance of the QCM algorithm was substantial as compared to that of other algorithms.

The low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technologies, such as LoRa, Sigfox, and NB-IoT, bring new renovation to the wireless communication between end devices in the Internet of things (IoT), which can provide larger coverage and support a large number of IoT devices to connect to the Internet with few gateways. Based on these technologies, we can directly deploy IoT devices on the candidate locations to cover targets or the detection area without considering multihop data transmission to the base station like the traditional wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we investigate the problems of the minimum energy consumption of IoT devices for target coverage through placement and scheduling (MTPS) and minimum energy consumption of IoT devices for area coverage through placement and scheduling (MAPS). In the problems, we consider both the placement and scheduling of IoT devices to monitor all targets (or the whole detection area) such that all targets (or the whole area) are (or is) continuously observed for a certain period of time. The objectives of the problems are to minimize the total energy consumption of the IoT devices. We first, respectively, propose the mathematical models for the MTPS and MAPS problems and prove that they are NP-hard. Then, we study two subproblems of the MTPS problem, minimum location coverage (MLC), and minimum energy consumption scheduling deployment (MESD) and propose an approximation algorithm for each of them. Based on these two subproblems, we propose an approximation algorithm for the MTPS problem. After that, we investigate the minimum location area coverage (MLAC) problem and propose an algorithm for it. Based on the MLAC and MESD problems, we propose an approximation algorithm to solve the MAPS problem. Finally, extensive simulation results are given to further verify the performance of the proposed algorithms.

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) has subsequently been applied to a variety of sectors, including smart grids, farming, weather prediction, power generation, wastewater treatment, and so on. So if the Internet of Things has enormous promise in a wide range of applications, there still are certain areas where it may be improved. Designers had focused our present research on reducing the energy consumption of devices in IoT networks, which will result in a longer network lifetime. The far more suitable Cluster Head (CH) throughout the IoT system is determined in this study to optimize energy consumption. Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) with Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) is indeed a mixed meta-heuristic algorithm used during the suggested study. Various quantifiable metrics, including the variety of adult nodes, workload, temperatures, remaining energy, and a target value, were utilized IoT network groups. The suggested method then is contrasted to several cutting-edge optimization techniques, including the Artificial Bee Colony method, Neural Network, Adapted Gravity Simulated annealing. The findings show that the suggested hybrid method outperforms conventional methods.

In the Internet of Things (IoT) environment, the intelligent devices collect and share large-scale sensitive personal data for a wide range of application. However, the power of storage and computing of IoT devices is limited, so the mass perceived data will be encrypted and transmitted to a cloud platform-interconnected IoT devices. Therefore, the concern how to save the encryption/decryption cost and preserve the privacy of the sensitive data in IoT environment is an issue that deserves research. To mitigate these issues, an offline/online attribute-based encryption scheme that supports partial policy hidden and outsourcing decryption will be proposed. This scheme adopts offline/online attribute-based encryption algorithms; then, the key generation algorithm and encryption algorithm are divided into two stages: offline stage and online stage. Meanwhile, in order to solve the problem of policy disclosure under the cloud platform, the policy hidden is supported, that is, the attribute is divided into the attribute value and the attribute name. For the pairing operation involved in decryption process, a verifiable outsourced decryption is implemented. Our scheme is constructed based on composite bilinear groups, which meets full security under the standard model. Finally, by comparing with other schemes in terms of functionality and computational overhead, it is shown that the proposed scheme is more efficient and applicable to the mobile devices with limited computing and storage functions in the Internet of Things environment.

With the ever-growing scale of the IoT, transmitting a massive volume of sensor data through the network will be too taxing. However, it will be challenging to include resource-constrained IoT devices as processing nodes in the fog computing hierarchy. To allow the execution of custom code sent by users on these devices, which are too limited for many current tools, we developed a platform called LibMiletusCOISA (LMC). Moreover, we created two models where the user can choose a cost metric (e.g., energy consumption) and then use it to decide whether to execute their code on the cloud or on the device that collected the data. We employed these models to characterize different scenarios and simulate future situations where changes in the technology can impact this decision.
