Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an environment in which various devices provide services to users through communications. Because of the nature of the IoT, data are stored and distributed in heterogeneous information systems. In this situation, IoT end applications should be able to access data without having information on where the data are or what the type of storage is. This mechanism is called Service Discovery (SD). However, some problems arise, since the current SD architectures search for data in physical devices. First, turnaround time increases from searching for services based on physical location. Second, there is a need for a data structure to manage devices and services separately. These increase the administrator's service configuration complexity. As a result, the device-oriented SD structure is not suitable to the IoT. Therefore, we propose an SD structure called Name-based Service-centric Service Discovery (NSSD). NSSD provides name-based centralized SD and uses the IoT edge gateway as a cache server to speed up service discovery. Simulation results show that NSSD provides about twice the improvement in average turnaround time, compared to existing domain name system and distributed hash table SD architectures.

IoT는 다양한 디바이스들이 통신을 통해 사용자에게 서비스를 제공하는 환경이다. IoT의 특성으로 인해 데이터들은 이종간의 정보시스템에 분산되어 저장된다. 이러한 상황에서 IoT 엔드 애플리케이션은 데이터가 어디에 있는지 또는 스토리지의 형태가 어떠한지 알 수 없어도 데이터를 액세스할 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 메커니즘을 SD(Service Discovery)라고 한다. 그러나 현재까지의 SD 구조는 물리적 디바이스를 중심으로 탐색하기 때문에 몇 가지 문제점이 발생한다. 첫째, 물리적 위치에 따른 서비스 탐색으로 인해 반환시간이 증대된다. 둘째, 디바이스와 서비스를 따로 관리하는 데이터 구조가 요구된다. 이는 관리자의 서비스 구성복잡도를 증가시킨다. 이로 인해 디바이스 중심의 SD 구조는 실제 IoT에 적용하기에는 적합하지 않은 구조로 되어 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 NSSD(Name-based Service Centric Service Discovery)라는 SD 구조를 제안한다. NSSD는 이름 기반의 중앙집중형 SD를 제공하며 IoT 에지 게이트웨이를 캐싱 서버로 사용해 서비스 탐색속도를 향상시킨다. 기존의 DNS와 DHT 기반 DS 구조와의 시뮬레이션을 통해 NSSD가 평균 반환시간에 있어 약 2배 정도 향상된 성능을 제공함을 입증하였다.
