Abstract

This paper evaluates the influence of communication characteristics on server processing load. In future ubiquitous communication environments, terminal-initiated communications will become more popularized than human-initiated communications like current Internet communications. The tiny terminal having a short-range wireless communication method like a sensor node is expected to report the presence data involved in a daily life to the server. However, if these terminals become popularized, the server must process a lot of presence data compared with current Internet communications. Therefore, from the viewpoint of network scalability, we performed hardware simulations to evaluate the influence of communication characteristics on server processing load and clarified its critical factor.
