Routing and load balancing in Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

The assignment includes the following tasks 1. Study the Telenor Connected Object (COOS) infrastructure 2. Study existing load balancing techniques that are relevant for COOS 3. Make a model of COOS in order to investigate load balancing techniques 4. Propose usage scenarios for COOS which need performance differentiation and load balancing 5. Conduct load balancing experiments on scenarios with different techniques 6. Propose principles for load balancing in COOS • How can you achieve effective routing across different (access) network technologies? Load balancing of traffic – optimised for node performance (e.g. battery and/or bandwidth limitations, least cost routing). How can one distribute load across different networks (e.g. wifi, bluetooth, 3G...) in an effective manner?
