International Journal of Internet Protocol Technology (IJIPT)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • SDN Based Fair Packet Scheduling for Prioritising Healthcare Traffic in Mobile Edge Computing: a Comparative Analysis with PQ and FCFS   Order a copy of this article
    by Shaiza Farooq, Muhammad Siraj Rathore 
    Abstract: Remote healthcare infrastructures are generally equipped with Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) to offer healthcare services closer to patients homes. The packet scheduling methods in these infrastructures prioritise emergency traffic, and the normal traffic queue is not processed until the priority queue is empty. The approach may lead to starvation of normal traffic. We propose SDN-based fair packet scheduler which guarantees service to each traffic type according to its proportional weight. We offer the highest priority to the emergency traffic but at the same time prevent other flows from possible starvation. We compare the performance of proposed fair scheduler with the traditional First Come First Serve (FCFS) and Priority Queuing (PQ) scheduling. Our results demonstrate that only fair scheduler could achieve the targeted throughput for normal traffic. In addition, packet loss ratio is reduced by 47% and the packet latency by 26% compared to PQ.

  • Eddystone-TLM Frame with a Lightweight Frame for Sensor Data Broadcasting   Order a copy of this article
    by Sagar Padiya, Vijay Gulhane 
    Abstract: In an IoT, wireless communication technologies connect devices, which should be based on lightweight protocols to conserve resources and reduce energy consumption. Optimizing data transmission enhances device performance and improves network bandwidth utilization. Due to the ubiquity of Bluetooth-compatible devices, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has emerged as a highly effective and popular choice for short-range wireless communication in IoT. BLE-Beacon broadcasts data packets at regular intervals to signal their presence or share data. Google's Eddystone is a proximity beacon messaging protocol with four different frames, that can be used individually or in combination. Eddystone-TLM frame transmits telemetry data (14 bytes) to administrators but with an additional 6-byte "NOT USED" field. Such broadcasting affects communication speed, energy consumption, bandwidth utilisation, etc. This research proposes a novel approach to the Eddystone-TLM frame for broadcasting short (sensor) data without disrupting the regular operations of an existing system.

  • Abnormal Signal Recognition of Carrier Communication in Distribution Network based on Local Outlier Factor   Order a copy of this article
    by Lei Cao, Shihua Xu, Qingzhu Meng, Yun Wang 
    Abstract: To overcome the problems of high misrecognition rate, missed recognition rate, and long time in traditional recognition methods, an abnormal signal recognition method of carrier communication in distribution network based on local outlier factor is proposed. OFDM technology and inverse discrete Fourier transform are used to modulate the carrier communication signal of the distribution network. The modulated communication signal is denoised by improving the variational mode decomposition method to determine the data set of the distribution network carrier communication signal. When the signal in the data set meets the local segregation factor condition, it is an abnormal signal, thus achieving the recognition of abnormal signals in the distribution network carrier communication. After experimental verification, the average misrecognition rate of the proposed method is 4.08%, the average missed recognition rate is 5.58%, and the minimum time for identifying abnormal signals in distribution network carrier communication is 0.22s.
    Keywords: Local outlier factor; Distribution network; Carrier communication; Abnormal signal recognition; Improving the variational mode decomposition method.
