Abstract:
Advanced wireless sensor network technologies, such as the Internet of Things and Machine to Machine, have recently been widely applied to various fields. The network protocol of future wireless networks, however, requires sensing data from the various monitoring values in the large-scale wireless sensor network and, hence, may not be effectively built if based on the current host-centric scheme. We must therefore redesign based on a content-centric concept. From this perspective, we focus on an information-centric network-based wireless sensor network framework. We propose a novel, efficient caching scheme using overhearing phenomena, and boost the proposed caching mechanism by using the successive interference cancellation technique. Moreover, we propose protocol stacking and signal processing based on a cross-layer design. Our numerical result reveals that the amount of stored sensing data can be increased, the number of multi-hops reduced, and the distance of data transfer between the publisher and subscriber nodes improved by using the exhaustive computer simulation.
