CLIC-IoE — Cross Layers Solution to Improve Communications under IoE

Abstract

The rapid expansion of connected devices has ushered in the Internet of Everything (IoE), enabling seamless integration among machines, people, and systems across diverse applications. However, the IoE faces significant challenges in ensuring efficient, reliable, and energy-conscious data transmission at scale. To address these issues, we present CLIC-IoE (Cross-Layer Solutions to Improve Communications under IoE), an innovative cross-layer framework designed to significantly enhance communication performance within IoE environments. By intelligently coordinating multiple communication layers, CLIC-IoE achieves remarkable results: a 39.47% reduction in data errors, a 38.33% increase in delivery rates, and a decrease of 0.8 nanoseconds in end-to-end delays. Additionally, it optimizes energy consumption, demonstrating a 51.67% improvement in energy efficiency (CEA) and a 20% boost in Active Things Rate (ATR). These advancements position CLIC-IoE as a transformative solution that enhances the scalability and reliability of IoE systems while promoting sustainable energy use. This manuscript provides a comprehensive exploration of the CLIC-IoE architecture, algorithms, and performance evaluation, emphasizing its potential impact on future IoE deployments. By addressing the critical challenges faced in IoE environments, CLIC-IoE not only enhances communication performance but also paves the way for more sustainable and efficient IoT systems.
