Efficient Mechanism for Enhanced Data Speedup in Internet of Things

The sheer number of IoT devices and the data that these devices transmit across the Internet have seen phenomenal growth rates as the use cases for these devices rises. This implies that more bandwidth will be needed to handle this growth and achieve speedup in data transmission. This paper argues that additional fungible paths can be used to achieve speedup between communicating IoT devices. A theoretical model is designed to predict the speedup expected from the use of additional fungible paths, and experiments are conducted to validate the efficacy of the model. However, our results showed the same or slightly smaller speedup values than our predicted values. We deduced that this might be due to the bottlenecks in line with what other researchers in the field of parallel processing and high-performance computing had found. We recommend that our model can be utilized to predict what speedup rates are theoretically possible, then IoT device manufacturers, computer network engineers, and computer scientists could tweak their IoT implementations to achieve the actual speedups as close as possible to the predicted values.
