Abstract:
As network infrastructure expands, the Internet of Things (IoT) demands extensive coverage, substantial throughput capacity, and real-time performance. The 802.11ah standard's raw mechanism was proposed to enhance efficiency in high-density environments. However, its implementation in latency-sensitive IoT network environments is constrained by inherent limitations. In this paper, we propose the Secure Restricted Access Window Based Group Coordination (SRAW-GC) technique, which prioritizes the processing of latency-sensitive traffic while aggregating high-throughput traffic for transmission, addressing both throughput and latency requirements. Experimental findings indicate that SRAW-GC improves performance metrics by 29.86% in throughput, 19.3% in latency, and 48.23% in energy consumption compared to conventional mechanisms. The proposed technique can ensure better availability in IoT network environments than the conventional RAW technique.
