Modeling and Improving Named Data Networking over IEEE 802.15.4

Enabling Named Data Networking (NDN) in realworld Internet of Things (IoT) deployments becomes essential to benefit from Information Centric Networking (ICN) features in current IoT systems. To design realistic NDN-based communication solutions for IoT, revisiting mainstream technologies such as low-power wireless standards may be the key. In this paper, we explore the NDN forwarding over IEEE 802.15.4 by modeling a broadcast-based forwarding strategy. Based on the observations, we adapt the Carrier-Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) algorithm of 802.15.4 to improve NDN wireless forwarding while reducing broadcast effects in terms of packet redundancy, round-trip time and energy consumption.
