Autonomous Communication Model for Internet of Things

Abstract

The internet has changed the way human activities are performed. In a few years, this communication infrastructure evolved to leverage a new technological paradigm named internet of things (IoT). This technology fuses processes and devices to create multipurpose cyber-physical systems (CFS) that improve human quality of life. These systems rely on internet availability, which can be affected by natural phenomena such as earthquakes carrying out economic and social consequences. In this work, an autonomous communication model for IoT domains is proposed. The main goal of this model is to set the basis for the development of a communication system capable of operating independently of the internet. This communication autonomy is critical in catastrophe scenarios where information broadcasts can support disaster management. According to simulation results, the proposed model can be implemented in different IoT scenarios including cities developed under this technology.
