摘 要:The Internet of Things(IoT)has numerous applications in every domain,e.g.,smart cities to provide intelligent services to sustainable *** next-generation of IoT networks is expected to be densely deployed in a resource-constrained and lossy *** densely deployed nodes producing radically heterogeneous traffic pattern causes congestion and collision in the *** the medium access control(MAC)layer,mitigating channel collision is still one of the main challenges of future IoT ***,the standardized network layer uses a ranking mechanism based on hop-counts and expected transmission counts(ETX),which often does not adapt to the dynamic and lossy environment and impact *** ranking mechanism also requires large control overheads to update rank *** resource-constrained IoT devices operating in a low-power and lossy network(LLN)environment need an efficient solution to handle these *** learning(RL)algorithms like Q-learning are recently utilized to solve learning problems in LLNs devices like ***,in this paper,an RL-based optimization of dense LLN IoT devices with heavy heterogeneous traffic is *** proposed protocol learns the collision information from the MAC layer and makes an intelligent decision at the network *** proposed protocol also enhances the operation of the trickle timer algorithm.A Q-learning model is employed to adaptively learn the channel collision probability and network layer ranking states with accumulated reward *** on a simulation using Contiki 3.0 Cooja,the proposed intelligent scheme achieves a lower packet loss ratio,improves throughput,produces lower control overheads,and consumes less energy than other state-of-the-art mechanisms.
