Abstract

Improving smart environment communication remains a final unachievable destination. Continuous optimization in smart environment communication is mandatory because of an emerging number of connected devices. Carefully observing its parameters and demands leads to acknowledging existing challenges and boundaries regarding areas covered with signal and possibilities of approaching network architecture, limited battery resources in certain nodes of network architecture, privacy, and security of existing data transfer. One approach to dealing with these communication challenges and boundaries is focusing on important technical parameters respectively, signal processing speed, communication nodes distance, and communication channel security. The aim of this article is to point out these most important communication parameters in smart environments and how changing those can affect communication. Its original contribution is represented in establishing principles for governing security parameters by using permanent magnets in order to produce Faraday's rotation and thus manipulate the whole process of communication in a smart environment.

Introduction

Rapid development in communication extent, as well as in the number of subjects active participants, followed by a more complex use of network architectures for their processing, are activating additional topics for researchers. After a period when following and analyzing the quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) parameters were sufficient performance measures in the communication process, in recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the Internet of things (IoT) creating additional space for advancement in transmitting data among connected subjects. After a short period of time, adding more subjects to communication resulted in the Internet of everything (IoE) as a new and even more complex smart environment. In this article, IoT and IoE will be addressed as a common IoE/IoT smart environment. Communication channels in IoE/IoT smart environment are currently being established using highly diverse communication technologies, including various advantages and disadvantages considering their parameters. With respect to existing approaches, it is reasonable to look towards new solutions due to an enormous number of connected devices requiring ever better performances, resulting in the necessity of proposing a completely new method or complementary method for that purpose.

Problem Description

These newly created environments for connecting devices and communicating information generated and still generate numerous research topics, such as:

  • The possibility of harmonious functioning in heterogeneous network architecture, whether its heterogeneity is related exclusively to approached combined networks or related to the fact that some parts of the network are capable of dynamically reconfiguring over time or persisting static configuration.

  • Achieving the desired data transfer security level, preserving the integrity of data transmitted, lowering electromagnetic pollution levels of media in use, and lowering distance between nodes in communication, as well as the inevitable process of their authentication and authorization.

An additional problem emerging while researching these phenomena is the fact that most of their parameters are not mutually independent, so formulating their mathematical correlations is demanding, involving different areas of mathematics. In order to achieve sufficient communication quality, the participant should fulfill these requests at a minimum:

  • All participants in communication should undergo a process of authentication and authorization to limit their activities in real-time communication.

  • Information integrity must be preserved in total. In a connected world with the automatic exchange of information and executing tasks, there is zero tolerance for failure in communication. Therefore, information integrity is considered a key element in automated environments.

  • The confidentiality of information content must be ensured, with prescribed procedures, following the principles mentioned above. Thus, exchanged information security is requested, as well as the security of connected devices and communication processes.

The research question in this article is:

How the parameter of security as a dominant technical parameter in a smart environment could be improved with Faraday’s rotation, and what are the recommended values of IJERTCS.313042.m01 as a result of interference between a magnetic field IJERTCS.313042.m02 and electromagnetic waves of different frequency f in order to maximize the angle of rotation IJERTCS.313042.m03 value?
