Performance Requirements Evaluation of Network functions in Information-Centric Networking based Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Machine-to-machine (M2M) services that connect devices and provide many services are drawing increasing attention. We propose an information-centric networking-based wireless sensor network (ICSN) design for cost reduction and early service provisioning. An ICSN can achieve information-centric networking (ICN) when applied to wireless sensor networks. An ICSN is constructed using sink nodes and sensor nodes having unlimited and limited computing resources, respectively. However, the sensor node load increases because of processing of ICN routers, and ICSN operation. Herein, we investigate CPU usage and memory usage of each node with a virtual operating system to clarify the requirements of the sensor nodes used to construct an ICSN.
