This paper proposes applying IoT technology to the military domain to create an Internet of Military Things (IoMT) system, with a focus on fault tolerance and quality of service. The IoMT system architecture consists of four main layers: Communication, information, application, and decision support, providing fault-tolerant coverage communication and data QoS assurance for transmitted data. Simulation results show that the proposed IoMT system outperforms traditional military systems in performance metrics such as packet loss, end-to-end delay, throughput, energy consumption ratio, and data reduction rate.
Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) technology has provided logistics services to many disciplines such as agriculture, industry, and medicine. Thus, it has become one of the most important scientific research fields. Applying IoT to military domain has many challenges such as fault tolerance and QoS. In this paper, IoT technology is applied on the military field to create an Internet of Military Things (IoMT) system. Here, the architecture of the aforementioned IoMT system is proposed. This architecture consists of four main layers: Communication, information, application, and decision support. These layers provided a fault tolerant coverage communication system for IoMT things. Moreover, it implemented data reduction methods such as filtering, compression, abstraction, and data prioritization queuing system to guarantee QoS for the transmitted data. Furthermore, it used decision support technology and IoMT application unification ideas. Finally, to evaluate the IoMT system, an intensive simulation environment is constructed using the network simulation package, NS3. The simulation results proved that the proposed IoMT system outperformed the traditional military system with regard to the performance metrics, packet loss, end-to-end delay, throughput, energy consumption ratio, and data reduction rate.
