Research Challenges and QoS Provisioning MAC Protocol for Cyber Physical Systems

Abstract

One of the latest emerging class of systems which implants cyber features into the physical world is the Cyber Physical System (CPS), which provides a platform for interaction between physical world and virtual world. CPS promises to transform the physical world to virtual world through interaction similar to human interaction with each other. With the increasing demand of cyber physical systems in various applications, it requires wide variety of communication protocols for reliable and real time data transmission. The low- power and low – cost features of some canonical protocols lead to some short falls, reliability and timeliness. In this paper, we discuss an extensive survey on MAC protocols and Research challenges for enhancing the QoS in CPS.
