Programmable Multi-hop Wireless Networks Towards IoT: Architecture and Key Techniques

In conventional multi-hop wireless networks towards IoT, network resources are static normally. As a result, if one network is overloaded, it cannot borrow any resources from other adjacent under loaded networks. The reason for this problem is that there is none of a uniform architecture and supporting techniques between these adjacent networks. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture and corresponding key techniques for multi-hop wireless networks. The proposed architecture are programmable and universal. By such proposal, all adjacent networks following the proposed architecture are managed by one control center. The network resources are optimally and dynamically managed among these networks to meet all application requirements.
