HoPP: Robust and Resilient Publish-Subscribe for an Information-Centric Internet of Things
This paper revisits NDN deployment in the IoT with a special focus on the
interaction of sensors and actuators. Such scenarios require high
responsiveness and limited control state at the constrained nodes. We argue
that the NDN request-response pattern which prevents data push is vital for IoT
networks. We contribute HoP-and-Pull (HoPP), a robust publish-subscribe scheme
for typical IoT scenarios that targets IoT networks consisting of hundreds of
resource constrained devices at intermittent connectivity. Our approach limits
the FIB tables to a minimum and naturally supports mobility, temporary network
partitioning, data aggregation and near real-time reactivity. We experimentally
evaluate the protocol in a real-world deployment using the IoT-Lab testbed with
varying numbers of constrained devices, each wirelessly interconnected via IEEE
802.15.4 LowPANs. Implementations are built on CCN-lite with RIOT and support
experiments using various single- and multi-hop scenarios
A Case for Time Slotted Channel Hopping for ICN in the IoT
Recent proposals to simplify the operation of the IoT include the use of
Information Centric Networking (ICN) paradigms. While this is promising,
several challenges remain. In this paper, our core contributions (a) leverage
ICN communication patterns to dynamically optimize the use of TSCH (Time
Slotted Channel Hopping), a wireless link layer technology increasingly popular
in the IoT, and (b) make IoT-style routing adaptive to names, resources, and
traffic patterns throughout the network--both without cross-layering. Through a
series of experiments on the FIT IoT-LAB interconnecting typical IoT hardware,
we find that our approach is fully robust against wireless interference, and
almost halves the energy consumed for transmission when compared to CSMA. Most
importantly, our adaptive scheduling prevents the time-slotted MAC layer from
sacrificing throughput and delay
Powering the Internet of Things with RIOT: Why? How? What is RIOT?
The crucial importance of software platforms was highlighted by recent events
both at the political level (e.g. renewed calls for digital data and operating
system "sovereignty", following E. Snowden's revelations) and at the business
level (e.g. Android generated a new industry worth tens of billions of euros
yearly). In the Internet of Things, which is expected to generate business at
very large scale, but also to threaten even more individual privacy, such
aspects will be exacerbated. The need for an operating system like RIOT stems
from this context, and this short article outlines RIOT's main non-technical
aspects, as well as its key technical characteristics.Comment: 4 page
