Description
Summary:With the rapid development of IoT (Internet of Things), massive data is delivered through trillions of interconnected smart devices. The heterogeneous networks trigger frequently the congestion and influence indirectly the application of IoT. The traditional TCP will highly possible to be reformed supporting the IoT. In this paper, we find the different characteristics of packet loss in hybrid wireless and wired channels, and develop a novel congestion control called NB-TCP (Naive Bayesian) in IoT. NB-TCP constructs a Naive Bayesian distinguisher model, which can capture the packet loss state and effectively classify the packet loss types from the wireless or the wired. More importantly, it cannot cause too much load on the network, but has fast classification speed, high accuracy and stability. Simulation results using NS2 show that NB-TCP achieves up to 0.95 classification accuracy and achieves good throughput, fairness and friendliness in the hybrid network.
