Abstract:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Internet of Things (IoT) often suffer from error-prone links when deployed in resource-constrained industrial environments. Reliability is a critical performance requirement of loss-sensitive applications, and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is a key indicator of successful communications. In addition to the improvement of the physical layer through modulation and channel coding, machine learning offers adaptive solutions by configuring various communication parameters dynamically. In this paper, we apply a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to predict SNR and Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR). Analysis results based on a real dataset show that the DNN can predict SNR and PDR at the accuracy of up to 96% and 98%, respectively, even when trained with very small fraction (≤10%) of data. Moreover, a common subset of features turns out to be useful in predicting both SNR and PDR so as to encourage considering both metrics jointly. We may control the transmission power in the dynamic and adaptive manner when we have predictable SNR and PDR, and thus fulfill the reliability requirements with energy conservation. This can help in achieving sustainable design for the communication system.
