Abstract:
Due to severe competition among manufacturers, timely firmware updates have become one of the most important issues. The constantly increasing number of things connected to the Web leads to high traffic contention in shared networks that causes poor service quality. In this paper, we propose an efficient software update system for smart things. The burden of downloading updates is offloaded to an always-on in-home hub. This delegation achieves not only avoidance of contention, but also the decrease of unnecessary transfer requests. Updates are transferred to the registered smart things without harming active service traffic. To achieve these goals, we implement a transport scheme based on Quick User Datagram Protocol(UDP) Internet Connections(QUIC) protocol that is known as emerging transport layer for Hypertext Transfer Protocol(HTTP). Our experimental results show that the proposed scheme is completely backed off with the existence of active service traffic and quickly completes the transfers when no others are active.
