Area of Science:

• Computer Science
• Electrical Engineering
• Wireless Communications

Background:

• Dynamic spectrum management (DSM) is crucial for heterogeneous wireless networks like wireless sensors and actuators networks (WSANs), Internet of Things (IoT), and Wi-Fi.
• Existing DSM approaches often lack efficient control dissemination and trust-ability in complex network environments.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop and evaluate an integrated system for automated radio frequency channel optimization in Wi-Fi and IEEE 802.15.4 networks.
• To address the challenges of dynamic spectrum management in heterogeneous wireless environments by combining novel control strategies.

Main Methods:

• Integration of named-based routing, temporary control data storage, contract-based control, and service-defined configuration.
• Implementation using the NovaGenesis architecture with an integrated cognitive radio system for channel indication.
• Proof-of-concept evaluation in a real-world scenario involving Wi-Fi and IEEE 802.15.4 networks in the 2.4 GHz bands.

Main Results:

• The proposed solution successfully automates radio frequency channel optimization, providing dual-mode best channel indications.
• Network throughput was more than doubled compared to scenarios with mutual interference.
• Enhanced network performance was demonstrated in environments equipped with the proposed system.

Conclusions:

• The integrated approach effectively manages dynamic spectrum, improving efficiency and performance in heterogeneous wireless networks.
• The NovaGenesis architecture provides a robust platform for implementing advanced DSM services.
• Automated channel optimization significantly boosts network throughput and user experience.
