Improving the performance of data transfer in the hybrid low-speed networks that are used in the near-real time operating establishments

The spread of the modern data transfer techniques, in modern industrial and agricultural applications, and service areas, leads to the need to transfer this data effectively and flexibly, within installations parts. This research aims to apply the hybrid mechanism, based on the use of ZigBee technology, and CAN Bus together to ensure the best performance, in accordance with the performance indicators required by the networks of these facilities, in near-real time operation. The study attempts to compare this mechanism with other mechanisms proposed in similar research. The proposed solution supports the use of a hybrid data transfer networks, based on the internetworking of CAN Bus networks, using a backbone based on wireless ZigBee technology. This solution proposes an appropriate structure for gateways between the hybrid parts of the network. The research has concluded that the proposed mechanism preference, compared with the proposed mechanisms in similar research, according to the standards of performance indicators, is suitable for this kind of networks, as it allows us to recommend the use of this mechanism in the service and industrial applications. The NS2 network simulator is used to evaluate and compare the obtained results.
