Business driver | There is currently no global specification for broad IoT interoperability, independent of the physical radio. A DQ firmware upgrade would introduce a universal lower MAC, allowing for synchronous and asynchronous flows to share the channel. DQ in place of ALOHA has also proven a seamless migration path for legacy devices. Eliminating the ALOHA problem is also the key to stable QoS under any condition, and will make possible regional mesh networks as distributed public utilities. |
Business use cases | 1. Automotive 2. Industrial IoT 3. Smart City |
Business Cost - Initial Build Cost Target Objective | There is no additional cost for utilizing a Distributed Queue (DQ) collision detection scheme, as it is a direct replacement or swap with Aloha-based technologies, requiring no change at OSI layers 2.5 or above and 50% energy saved in the PHY since retransmission of payload data is eliminated. Experimental Zigbee and LoRa base stations with a RasPi and a radio hat were built for $85 at Bucknell, improving the number of competing devices from 1500 to 5700 and concluding that crowdsourced regional mesh networks would be possible. |
Business Cost – Target Operational Objective | The target operational objective is to achieve >95% throughput at all times, or Near-Perfect packet efficiency in a star network. Some efficiency will be lost in the hybrid DQ model to afford a commercial migration path for legacy devices which have no knowledge of the novel MAC but this will still shatter the Aloha-based 50% maximum. |
Security need | Security is a function of packet efficiency and needs a broadcast architecture for ensembles to open the IoT metaverse. DQ also allows us to encrypt the whole packet at the MAC/Data Link layer including the packet header. See security discussion in the attached SAE Journal article. |
Regulations | CPNI law is a better part of the Telecommunications Act of '96 which can now be upheld in shared-packet networks, along with other privacy laws started at the US Postal Service before transferring to telecom law. |
Other restrictions | Licensed RF is restricted. WiFi, and other unlicensed RF for the IoT including long range TVWS airwaves are not. |
Additional details | The hexadecimal address list from the DQWA Appendix can be made available. At 60 pages, it was only left out to make the specification document more manageable. |
