Evaluation for cloud-based load distribution model in ICSN

Abstract

We have proposed Information-Centric Networking (ICN) based wireless Sensor Networks (ICSN). ICSN Platform (ICSNP) is an environment to provide multiple Internet of Things (IoT) services using a single sensor network. Excessive requests will cause load congestion at the sink node as the number of concurrently running services increases. To avoid sink node congestion, we propose a cloud-based load distribution model in this paper. As a result, the experimental results show that the load is distributed at the sink node with a reduction of about 45% compared to ICSNP.
