RTRS algorithm in low-power Internet of things
Abstract
Considering the feature of periodical uplink data transmission in IEEE 802.11ah low-power wide area network (LWPAN),a real-time RAW setting (RTRS) algorithm was proposed.Multiple node send data to an access point (AP),and the uplink channel resources were divided into Beacon periods in time.During a Beacon period,AP firstly predicted the next data uploading time and the total amount of devices that will upload data in the next Beacon period.The AP calculated the optimal RAW parameters for minimum energy cost and broadcasted the information to all node.Then all devices upload data according to the RAW scheduling.The simulation results show that the current network state can be predicted accurately according to the upload time of the terminal in the last period.According to the predicted state,raw configuration parameters can be dynamically adjusted and the energy efficiency can be significantly improved.
