Abstract

The development of the Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) has given new hope for the Internet of Things and M2M networks to become the most prevalent network type in industrial world in the near future. This type of network is designed to connect several entities in a radius that can reach up to 10 Km. This gain in scope is possible through a reduction in the amount of information exchanged. The latter will makes LPWANs Networks the most suitable for telemetry applications. This large network coverage offered by LPWAN gives the possibility to connect a large number of objects. On the other hand, it involves difficulties for the pervasive system associated with this kind of network to integrate dynamically all this objects, in which an automatic reconfiguration process becomes crucial to this kind of network. In this study, we propose the multi-agent systems as a solution to virtualize the heterogeneity of the peripherals and to facilitate their integration and their dynamic exploitation in the LPWAN system. That virtualization is possible due to the portability of the multi-agent systems and the standardization of the exploitation of the services offered by them.

Highlights

  • The technology revolution has created a new world dedicated to information processing, where any real component is characterized by two sets

  • The first one is implemented in the pervasive system layer of the Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) network in order to get a better control of all the terminals that appears in the network, the second one is implemented in the terminal where will develop an agent with the main behaviour is to locate the main platform in the network and publish its services

  • These two agents plus the yellow page agent which is already defined in the JADE platform are cooperating in order to reconfigure the LPWAN pervasive system layer, by applying the proposed approach in the previous section and according to the scenario illustrated by Fig. 3: A

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The technology revolution has created a new world dedicated to information processing, where any real component is characterized by two sets (data and Handling). The Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) [1] such as LoRaWan [2] or SigFox [3] provides a solution to connect each component or object to the network and monitor their behaviour in real time through their pervasive system layer For this purpose, we need to develop a mechanism for observing and dynamically updating the system, which can be considered as a dynamic reconfiguration for the initial state of the LPWAN pervasive system. We will use the multi-agent systems approach [4], [5] to perform the dynamic reconfiguration This chose is made, because they present better portability and flexibility by dint of the different behaviours offered by them, which gives a great capacity to improve context-aware of a pervasive system.
