Abstract

Many emerging mobile and IoT applications involve the interaction of users and smart devices in which users communicate with the devices to affect them to conduct in the desired way for satisfying the users' needs. However, traditional communications networks mainly focus on how to reliably and effectively transmit bits or packets. In this paper, we propose a novel network architecture, termed Effect-Centric Communication Networking (ECCN or ECN) by focusing on the communication effects. ECCN enables nodes to exchange not only data but also function expressions and programs (code and data). A user can send an 'Order' to one or more targeted destination nodes whose locations and identities may be unknown in advance. The Order is routed to the best nodes for execution based on a two-level routing: (1) the Type and ID of the order, (2) the function code carried in the order message, to meet the user's requirements and optimize network performance. The routing, transport, and security mechanisms in ECCN are designed, which can effectively handle mobility, network disconnection, node failure, virtual service migration, and so on.
