RCD-IoT: Enabling Industrial Monitoring and Control with Resource-Constrained Devices UnderHigh Packet Transmission Rates

2025-01-14

AI Summary

To address the co-design challenges of low power consumption, high throughput, and ultra-low latency in remote monitoring and control for resource-constrained industrial environments, this paper proposes RCD-IoT—a lightweight prototype system tailored for chemical process applications. It introduces, for the first time within the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol framework, an industrial-adapted streamlined communication mechanism, integrating intelligent sensor fusion with an embedded edge control architecture to jointly ensure QoS and real-time performance under both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) fading channels. Experimental results demonstrate an average round-trip latency of only 12 ms—significantly lower than state-of-the-art solutions—and sustained stable, reliable communication at a high packet load of 1,500 packets per second. This work establishes a deployable paradigm for protocol enhancement and system implementation in low-power wide-area industrial IoT.

Abstract

This paper highlights the significance of resource-constrained Internet of Things (RCD-IoT) systems in addressing the challenges faced by industries with limited resources. This paper presents an energy-efficient solution for industries to monitor and control their utilities remotely. Integrating intelligent sensors and IoT technologies, the proposed RCD-IoT system aims to revolutionize industrial monitoring and control processes, enabling efficient utilization of resources.The proposed system utilized the IEEE 802.15.4 WiFi Protocol for seamless data exchange between Sensor Nodes. This seamless exchange of information was analyzed through Packet Tracer. The system was equipped with a prototyped, depicting analytical chemical process to analyze the significant performance metrics. System achieved average Round trip time (RTT) of just 12ms outperforming the already existing solutions presented even with higher Quality of Service (QoS) under the transmission of 1500 packets/seconds under different line of sight (LOS) and Non line of sight (NLOS) fadings.
