A Study on the Reliability of Data Transmission of an over the Top Network Protocol on SMS versus UDP/ GPRS (Fragmented)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to identify an aspect of data transmission that could help address the existing gap between the availability of the second and third generations of mobile telephony in the light of increased demand for growth of machine-to-machine applications using mobile data technology. This study examined the reliability of sending data through the SMS interface as an alternative means to transmit data over newer technologies such as GPRS. The research primarily focused on transport performance, and looked into different factors of integrity and reliability, such as transmission time and number of retries. The study was then divided into construction, testing and analysis phases wherein the output was an analysis of the data gathered from testing packet data transmission via SMS and GPRS in key locations around a specific locale. As per the results, SMS in general works in a slow but steady pace of delivery, while GPRS (using the UDP protocol) offers a quicker but slipshod transmission.

BACKGROUND Mobile health (mHealth) technologies hold incredible promise to improve healthcare delivery in resource-limited settings. Network reliability across large catchment areas can be a major challenge. We performed an analysis of network failure frequency as part of a study of real-time adherence monitoring in rural Uganda. We hypothesized that the addition of short messaging service (SMS...
متن کاملAn Adaptive LEACH-based Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
LEACH is the most popular clastering algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, it has two main drawbacks, including random selection of cluster heads, and direct communication of cluster heads with the sink. This paper aims to introduce a new centralized cluster-based routing protocol named LEACH-AEC (LEACH with Adaptive Energy Consumption), which guarantees to generate balanced cl...

متن کاملNew High Secure Network Steganography Method Based on Packet Length
In network steganography methods based on packet length, the length of the packets is used as a carrier for exchanging secret messages. Existing methods in this area are vulnerable against detections due to abnormal network traffic behaviors. The main goal of this paper is to propose a method which has great resistance to network traffic detections. In the first proposed method, the sender embe...

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is one of the most significant applications of the Smart Grid. It is used to measure, collect, and analyze data on power consumption. In the AMI network, the smart meters traffics are aggregated in the intermediate aggregators and forwarded to the Meter Data Management System (MDMS). The infrastructure used in this network should be reliable, real-time an...
