Title
Energy-Governed Resilient Networked Systems
Abstract
Connected embedded systems in the realm of smart infrastructures comprise ubiquitous end-point devices supported by a communication infrastructure. Device, energy supply and network failures are a reality and provisioned communications could fail. Self-organization is a process where network devices cooperate with each other to restore network connectivity on detecting network connectivity failures. Self-organized networks are envisioned to be hierarchical, implying that a root device is expected to spend more energy to forward the entire network's data. This leads to battery exhaustion and therefore a single point of failure in the system. In this paper we address this problem by proposing an energy-governed resilient networking framework. Our framework enforces a policy to throttle upstream network traffic to maintain energy drain at the root device. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed policy, we designed our experiment framework using Nano-RK and FireFly; a lightweight operating system and sensing platform respectively.
