Performance Analysis of Uplink Traffic for Machine Type Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks

摘要

Machine-to-Machine communication (M2M) or machine type communication (MTC) is the form of communication in which devices communicate with each other and with servers on the Internet without human intervention, defining the new concept known as Internet of Things (IoT). The machine type communication generates a lot of new services and, with them, big problems and challenges that must be addressed. A major challenge is to define the behavior of a new traffic generated by the devices, that is the goal of this work. We propose a traffic model for the uplink traffic, which is composed of deterministic and stochastic parts, and perform a study of throughput, delay and packet loss for this uplink traffic in a central node of the wireless sensor network.
