Description
Summary:The smart city is being developed in many big cities to support local governments for resources and infrastructure optimization in terms of enhancing services for the citizen. Large investment costs are required to implement a communication network for the smart city infrastructure (i.e. Internet of Things (IoT) devices) using 4G or Wi-Fi networks. This study aims to implement Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) as a low-cost alternative network for the smart city. We use Surabaya smart city plan scenario in which smart mobility services are provided in city transportation and infrastructure. The IoT devices are installed in numerous locations and continuously transmit messages to the monitoring server located in the city hall, bus and car employed as a DTN node. In this paper, as a preliminary research, we investigate the performance of well-known DTN routing protocols (Epidemic, Maxprop, and ProphetV2) with our proposed protocol called Spray and Hop Distance (SNHD). The evaluation is performed using the ONE simulator in terms of the number of delivered messages, the average latency, and the overhead ratio. The results show the performance of SNHD is better than the well-known DTN protocols in various conditions when the total size of delivered messages is large. Unfortunately, none of those routing protocols has a good performance in all of the scenario conditions. In the future, we desire to implement this system in real smart city system in Surabaya and do simulation with more realistic scenario such as real traffic-trace.
