Performance Evaluation of Spatio-temporal Data Retention System Supporting a Floating Cyber-physical System

Abstract

We propose a floating cyber-physical system (F-CPS) as a novel platform for data distribution and application execution to realize a CPS. The F-CPS constructs a local-oriented and distributed CPS using devices with computing capability close to the user, such as smartphones, sensor devices, vehicles, and roadside units. This paper first provides an overview of the F-CPS and then discusses the challenges posed by the spatio-temporal retention system (STD-RS), a network technology for data distribution and maintenance in the local area of the F-CPS. To address the challenges associated the STD-RS, we propose adaptive data transmission control to effectively retain the STD in a certain area. Finally, we performed network simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive method.
