Traffic optimization in IoT networks

Abstract

Since the 2000s, the idea that the Internet could be used for machine-to-machine communication and process automation has emerged. Together with the development of electronic objects capable of communicating with IP protocols, this idea led to the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT Internet of Things). Nowadays, the evolution of networks is very intense. New networks are appearing, “all-optical” solutions in the heart of networks, “wireless” solutions to facilitate access to users or to implant sensors / actors in places difficult to access, or finally the Internet of communicating objects. In this evolution, new scientific issues and challenges are emerging. Some of the problems are related to the optimization of generated traffic as well as the improvement of the performance of tools and techniques. Often, these optimization problems lead to models using graphs. The analysis of optimization problems in networks is an important activity. IOT networks create more data traffic that is difficult to control within the operator’s network. The method given in this paper will help network operators optimize their networks and assist developers in improving hardware and software interactions to reduce data traffic in the network.
