A reliable nonfeedback transmission mechanism for asymmetric channels based on machine learning

Abstract

Cross‐technology communication (CTC) enables data communication between heterogeneous wireless devices, which becomes the focus of current research. Due to the difference of communication distance, the transmission mode of the heterogeneous devices is mostly one‐hop transmission and multihop return. The mechanism of ensuring reliable transmission by sending ACK (ACKnowledge character) leads to longer transmission delays in asymmetric channels, especially for the ZigBee networks with low duty cycle. To solve this problem, this article proposes a new nonfeedback mechanism to reduce the communication delay on asymmetry channel. Through the method of fitting error, the random forest algorithm is improved, so that the training model can predict the current packet loss rate by judging channel conditions, receiver position, payload and other factors, so that the transmitter can accurately calculate the number of packets to be sent. The experimental results show that the loss rate predicted by this algorithm makes the transmission reliability be as high as 99.78%. Compared with the existing CTC technologies such as WeBee and NetCTC, the nonfeedback transmission mechanism put forward by us improves the transmission efficiency by 91.39% and 24.15%. The results show that the proposed mechanism greatly reduces transmission delay and improves channel utilization.

A secure multi‐path transmission algorithm based on fountain codes

“…Due to the randomness of random forest regression prediction model, it can solve the problem of over fitting in training to a certain extent, and has high anti noise ability, which can improve the accuracy of prediction. Through the experiment, a total of 7320 pieces of data were collected in Reference 24, and the data were cleaned and normalized. First, the number of packets sent and received was processed, which was converted into the packet loss rate in this case.…”
