Communication management for reliable service based IoT systems

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) systems are becoming more and more popular. Moreover, service-based approach to IoT systems development is practically a standard utilized in their architecture. uti. IoT communication problems ware discussed in many articles about wireless communication, sensor networks or cloud computing. However the topic of high-level end to end communication in IoT systems is much less often the point of researchers’ interest. Despite that, the reliability of communication makes much more sense especially when it is considered at the application layer. Furthermore, networks utilized in IoT systems are usually virtual and software-based. Due to this fact, it is reasonable to take consider this problem with a novel and adequate approach, rather with classical models of communication resource allocation. In this article authors presented an idea of reliable communication management for IoT systems based on resource allocation. This idea is discussed in context of service-based IoT system lifecycle, especially considering the stages of resource allocation and services execution. Concerning the presented concept, three algorithms were prepared and tested in the simulation process.
