CCIC-WSN: An Architecture for Single Channel Cluster-based Information-Centric Wireless Sensor Networks
share
The promising vision of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) and of its realization, Named Data Networking (NDN), has attracted extensive attention in recent years in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, a comprehensive NDN/ICN-based architectural design for WSNs, including specially tailored naming schemes and forwarding mechanisms, has yet to be explored. In this paper, we present single-Channel Cluster-based Information-Centric WSN (CCIC-WSN), an NDN/ICN-based framework to fulfill the requirements of cluster-based WSNs, such as communication between child nodes and cluster heads, association of new child nodes with cluster heads, discovery of the namespace of newly associated nodes, and child node mobility. Through an extensive simulation study, we demonstrate that CCIC-WSN achieves 71-90 than recently proposed frameworks for NDN/ICN-based WSNs under various evaluation settings.
