- The Internet of Things (IoT) notion is quickly influencing t he architectures of data-driven systems d ue to the ever-increasing rapid technological progress in all sectors. The IoT involves the collection and exchange of data from a large number of interconnected devices or sensors. The collected data is structured and transmitted in a variety of different data formats such as JSON, CBOR, BSON, or simply a binary format. The data format used by an IoT device can have a significant i mpact on t he efficiency of its data transmission. In general, using a more compact and efficient data format can help to reduce t he amount of data that needs to be transmitted, which can improve the overall speed and performance of the device. For example, using a binary data format rather than a text-based format can often result in smaller data sizes and faster transmission times. Similarly, using a binary format in a more compressed form can further help to reduce the size of the data being transmitted, which can further improve the efficiency of the transmission. In this paper, we propose Delta Binary (i.e., DeltaBin) to reduce the binary data format by transmitting only changed data. We assess DeltaBin using a real IoT deployment scenario.

- The Internet of Things (IoT) have shown numerous potential applications that can enhance our quality of life. IoT is becoming a core technology to bring smart homes, smart cities, and smart industries into reality. However, with potential benefits comes a challenge of sustainability, and one major concern is to minimize energy consumption. In a citywide area, managing the operation of such large-scale IoT networking is one of the complex tasks. One of the ways is to utilize dynamic sensing scheduling where the IoT device goes to the sleep mode and prevents unnecessary data transmission. In this paper, we propose a dynamic sensing (DynaSens) algorithm for an IoT-based waste management system. This algorithm helps to reduce the waste bin overflowing, thus, provides better sanitation, and it is also helpful in reducing the fuel cost of waste collection vehicles. Our work utilizes measured values such as current consumption, LiDAR measurement time, and LoRa transmission time as the input data for the simulation experiment to evaluate energy consumption. We also assessed DynaSens using a real dataset obtained from a recycling house. We use Pycom LoPy4 micro-controller as a development board. For a number of garbage-thrown scenarios, DynaSens enables longer battery longevity by reducing the repeated execution of the same tasks. © 2022 IEEE.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Most of the utility meters in Sweden are connected using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This opens new possibilities for understanding society’s energy consumption dynamics and making citizens aware of their power consumption usage. In this study, we investigate the patterns of electricity consumption using machine learning methods. We collected metered data from Kalmar Energi company, the electrical grid for Kalmar city in Sweden. In addition, we collected the Kalmar weather and electricity price data from the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) and Nordpool, the European leading power market, respectively. We comprehensively analyze the electricity consumption data to assess the changes in overall electricity demand during the year 2021 in the city of Kalmar. This information can be of significant benefit to other regions seeking to improve their sustainability and energy consumption practices. For analysis and energy consumption prediction, we utilize two forecasting models, i.e., Random Forest (RF) and XGBoost. RF model results show a high level of accuracy with the achieved R-squared (R2) value of 0.91 compared to XGBoost value of 0.87.

- Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies offer new opportunities for data collection, transmission, and decision-making optimization. Similarly, a wide range of use cases of computer vision and object detection algorithms can be found across different industries. This paper presents a case study focusing on the utilization of LPWAN infrastructure, specifically the Helium network, coupled with computer vision and object detection algorithms, to optimize passenger ferry operation. The passenger ferry called M/S Dessi operates between Kalmar and Färjestaden in Sweden during the summer season. By implementing an Edge-computing solution, real-time data collection and communication are achieved, enabling accurate measurement of passenger flow. This approach is superior to traditional methods of collecting passenger data, such as manual counting or CCTV surveillance. Real-time passenger data is invaluable for traffic planning, crowd prediction, revenue enhancement, and speed and fuel optimization. The utilization of the Helium network ensures reliable and long-distance data transmission, extending the system’s applicability to multiple ferries and distant locations. The proposed approach can be utilized to integrate passenger ferries that operate in close proximity to urban areas into society’s digital transformation efforts. This study highlights the potential of LPWAN, computer vision, and object detection in enhancing passenger ferry operations, contributing to enhanced efficiency and sustainability.

- The Internet of Things (IoT), as a new paradigm of connected things or objects to the Internet, allows us to monitor the environment by collecting data in a wide spatial and temporal window. Especially the utilization of IoT has increased significantly since the development of the Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN). However, deploying LoRa gateways, maintaining network infrastructure, operational cost, and quality of service are challenging. Helium has emerged as one of the largest networks in terms of coverage for IoT devices to solve such problems. Helium is decentralized, cryptocurrency incentives-based network infrastructure replacing traditional service providers. However, due to network incentives, currently, it contains more hotspots compared to active users. This paper presents our experience and analysis of deploying IoT devices for real-world applications using the Helium network. We present experiences from the IoT device’s deployment for wetland conservation in southern Sweden.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly popular due to their wide array of application domains. In IoT networks, sensor nodes are often connected in the form of a mesh topology and deployed in large numbers. Managing these resource-constrained small devices is complex and can lead to high system costs. A number of standardized protocols have been developed to handle the operation of these devices. For example, in the network layer, these small devices cannot run traditional routing mechanisms that require large computing powers and overheads. Instead, routing protocols specifically designed for IoT devices, such as the routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks, provide a more suitable and simple routing mechanism. However, they incur high overheads as the network expands. Meanwhile, reinforcement learning (RL) has proven to be one of the most effective solutions for decision making. RL holds significant potential for its application in IoT device’s communication-related decision making, with the goal of improving performance. In this paper, we explore RL’s potential in IoT devices and discuss a theoretical framework in the context of network layers to stimulate further research. The open issues and challenges are analyzed and discussed in the context of RL and IoT networks for further study.

Preparing Wi-Fi 7 for Healthcare Internet-of-Things
- 2022

Ingår i: Sensors. - : MDPI. - 1424-8220. ; 22:16

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The healthcare Internet of Things (H-IoT) is an interconnection of devices capable of sensing and transmitting information that conveys the status of an individual's health. The continuous monitoring of an individual's health for disease diagnosis and early detection is an important application of H-IoT. Ambient assisted living (AAL) entails monitoring a patient's health to ensure their well-being. However, ensuring a limit on transmission delays is an essential requirement of such monitoring systems. The uplink (UL) transmission during the orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) in the wireless local area networks (WLANs) can incur a delay which may not be acceptable for delay-sensitive applications such as H-IoT due to their random nature. Therefore, we propose a UL OFDMA scheduler for the next Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) standard, the IEEE 802.11be, that is compliant with the latency requirements for healthcare applications. The scheduler allocates the channel resources for UL transmission taking into consideration the traffic class or access category. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheduler can achieve the required latency for H-IoT applications. Additionally, the performance in terms of fairness and throughput is also superior to state-of-the-art schedulers.
