Reliability and Availability of IoT Devices in Resource-Constrained Environments.
Abstract
In this paper, we provide an outlook for various protocols that are used for the transmission of data in the communication layer and provide an overview and analysis of device reliability from the point of view of the perception layer. We present an analysis on design metrics like perception, communication and computation layers for a “constrained environment”. An environment with limited resources such as - limited power, bandwidth, compute, memory etc. can be classified as a constrained environment. Based on our literature survey we have also presented a study that shows multi-path routing is more efficient than single-path and the retransmission mechanism is not preferable in an IoT environment. We have also tested the performance of standard security algorithms on different computational architectures and discuss the implications of the results. Empirical results demonstrate that encryption & decryption times increase non-linearly rather than linearly as message size increases.
