【 摘 要 】

In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has gained popularity due to greater data accessibility and the ability to incorporate prediction algorithm in the IoT devices. However, IoT devices have limited energy resources as the devices are mostly light in weight. By improving the efficiency IoT communications systems, energy efficiency of the IoT devices can be increased. One way is to utilise the suitable transport protocol for the IoT networks as transport protocol indirectly influences the energy efficiency and the quality of service of the IoT communication systems. Conventional transport protocol, such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), introduces latency due to its three way handshakes, large header size and strict reliability rule which can lead to unecessary energy usage for some applications. In this paper, we propose to use User Datagram Protocol Lite (UDP-Lite) for the IoT networks. The performance of the total packet loss for these UDP-Lite configurations in IoT networks is investigated and the numerical analysis illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
