Abstract
a group of consumers are sufficient for data recipients to perform their duties. Unfortunately, this
approach usually relies on cryptographic algorithms which increases the overhead on computations
and communication for the network. This often drives the network to a congestive state, thereby
resulting in delays which can minimize the task of a cyber-criminal targeting the availability of data
in the network. The congestion problem was tackled in this work by designing a robust
state-of-the-art communication architecture herein referred to in this thesis as Ring Triangulation
Communication Architecture (RTCA). Congestive scenarios in Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) and ZigBee
wireless communication technology standards were modeled. The designed architecture was then
applied to those networks and its performance was analyzed through extensive simulations. The
results of the simulations show that notwithstanding the congestive effects of data aggregation, the
designed architecture provides a good QoS guarantee for the two considered networks.
