A Real-Time Data Delivery for Mobile Sinks Group on Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems

Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems (MCPS) have extended the application domains by exploiting the advantages of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) through the mobile devices. The cooperation of various mobile equipment and workers based on the MCPS further improved efficiency and productivity in the industry. To support this cooperation of groups of workers (hereafter referred to as the Mobile Sink Groups), data should be delivered to appropriate groups of workers in a timely manner. Traditionally, the data dissemination for MSG relies on flooding-based geocasting into the movable area of the group due to frequent movements of each group member. However, the flooding-based data dissemination could not be directly applied to real-time data delivery that demands the required time deadline and the end-to-end delivery distance, because the flooding could not define the end-to-end distance and progress to each member in a group. This paper proposes a real-time data delivery mechanism for supporting MSG in time-critical applications. In our mechanism, a ring-based modeling and data transfer scheme on a virtual grid in the ring for group mobility provides the end-to-end distance and the progress to forward real-time data to each member. Simulation results show our mechanism is superior to the existing ones in terms of real-time communication for MSG.
