An Efficient Secure Multichannel Traffic Management Scheme in 2.4 GHz Home Automation Network with IoT Functions

Abstract:

A home automation system integrates electrical devices in a house with each other. In this paper, an efficient secure multichannel traffic management scheme for wireless home automation networks with IoT (Internet of Things) functions is proposed. The mechanism includes a channel resource optimization scheme by the centralized channel assignment algorithms and an intrusion detection scheme for security enhancement with the traffic management. We evaluated the performance of the mechanism by using the wireless data measured on real wireless home networks. The simulation results show that the scheme can effectively manage the multi-channel status of the networks and detect the intrusion attacks, which improve the overall network performance.
