Reservation based Resource Allocation with Dynamic Admission Probability for WSN-MCN Convergence Network
Anita Swain, Arun Kumar Ray, Prasanta Kumar Swain · 2018
This Ubiquitous application of cell phones leads to an idea of using cell phones as a carrier of sensor data, which can create a larger network. This represents an idea of heterogeneous network such as cellular network and wireless sensor network to emerge as WSN-MCN convergence network. These mutually benefit both the network but the resource allocation that shares spectrum resources between cellular users and WSN user is critically challenging. We propose a reservation based resource sharing scheme that reserves a part of the spectrum for cellular users and rest part of the spectrum is dynamically allocated to users of both the network. An analytical model has been developed to determine various performance factors of the converged network in terms of channel allocation. The proposed model is compared with existing schemes and numerical results are presented in the form of graphs.
