ADCC: An effective adaptive duty cycle control scheme for real time big data in Green IoT

Currently, large number of devices have been connected to the Internet of Things (IoT). Ubiquitous IoT devices encounter emergencies and generate much data which may lead to congestion and urgency to be processed timely. To alleviate it, many approaches have been proposed and Adaptive Duty Cycle Control (ADCC) scheme is an effective one. The main contributions of this paper are as follows: (a) Unlike previous studies that mostly the efficiency of congestion control and real-time processing is experiment-oriented, specially, this paper theoretically gives a targeted optimization of duty cycle ratio, which can effectively guide the design of ADCC scheme for real time big data. (b) A general design principle is proposed to guide the scheme designing in order to improve the efficiency and performance of networks. (c) A comprehensive congestion avoidance and real-time processing scheme combining dynamic duty cycle adjustment and full utilization of residual energy is proposed. Thus, these ideas can meet the concept of Green IoT. Through our extensively theoretical and experimental analysis, the principle can effectively guide the design of ADCC scheme, and can reduce the delay, data drop ratio by 20.95% − 77.85% and 29.63% − 100% respectively, without affecting network lifetime, compared with previous scheme.
