System and method for adapting characteristics of application layer protocol using sensed indication

摘要

Disclosed is a system and method for optimizing resource utilization in a constrained sensor gateway for transfer of data. The constrained sensor gateway can be constrained in terms of the bandwidth and energy available to transfer data. According to the disclosure, a network condition detection module is configured to detect network condition of the constrained sensor gateway. Further an adaption module is configured to determine a reliability score. Further according to the disclosure an application layer protocol of the constrained sensor gateway adapts a reliability level based on the reliability score determined by the adaption module. The adaption of the reliability level by the application layer protocol may enable the optimization of the resource in the constrained sensor gateway. The reliability level may pertain to a reliable mode, or a non-reliable mode of communication for transferring data.
