Information-centric wireless sensor and actor network in the industrial network
Truong-Xuan Do, Younghan Kim · 2013
Information-centric networking (ICN) approach has been emerging as a promising technology for the future Internet. This technology enables in-network caching and content replication, which improves efficiency in term of data bandwidth and latency. These characteristics make it suitable for wireless sensor and actor network (WSAN) in the industrial environment. In this paper, we present a scheme to apply the ICN concept into the industrial WSAN. The information-centric approach will overcome the bandwidth overhead caused by periodical traffic in the industrial WSAN.
