A compact NDN architecture for cluster based information centric wireless sensor networks

Abstract

This poster proposes a lite variant of Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture specially designed for single-channel cluster-based information-centric wireless sensor networks. The proposed framework incorporates the fundamental requirement of short but human-readable names for cluster-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that can fit into 127 bytes Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size. As the nodes in WSN can be heterogeneous in terms of data generation, therefore, the name integrated lite query structure in our framework can significantly improve the process of data collection. Moreover, the proposed forwarding strategy for inter-cluster and intra-cluster communication may reduce the unnecessary packet transmissions in the network, which improve the network performance.
