Collision Avoidance Methodology in Internet of Things and Wireless Ad hoc Network

Abstract

In today's digital era, internet of things and wireless communication needs no introduction as almost everything directly or indirectly is dependent on the same. This scenario also leads to various security issues because devices are connected to internet and this availability makes this exposure vulnerable for various attacks. Recently in internet of things and wireless ad hoc networks, there is an essential issue of how to increase channel utilization without degrading the performance. Some problems are also responsible to increase collision in the network. Here, the authors propose a busy tone-based medium access control scheme to avoid such problems in fully as well as non-fully connected environment. Here in this chapter, they present a brief introduction to internet of things, security challenges regarding IoT, and its association with wireless technology. They also discuss the problems concerning wireless communication, which affects the performance of networks and their solutions.
