However, the heterogeneity of the network leads to new challenges, since the packet loss can be caused either by the poor channel quality of wireless links or network component failures. A novel and adaptive mechanism combining sparse random linear network coding with parallel transmission (SNC-PT) is proposed to achieve the fault-tolerance against high packet loss rate and any network element malfunction. We illustrate the benefits of using the SNC-PT mechanism to improve fault tolerance by characterizing the network performance with respect to the completion time and goodput along with its relationship to channel quality and node failures. We show that significant performance gains can be obtained in comparison with conventional uncoded transmission based on transmission control protocol (TCP). The simulation results show that the SNC-PT mechanism is fault-tolerant, while it can significantly shorten the data transmission completion time to at least 12% of the baseline and increase the goodput by about 10% compared to other coding schemes such as random linear network coding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24020157","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,20]],"date-time":"2022-01-20T22:40:20Z","timestamp":1642718420000},"page":"157","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["A Fault-Tolerant Transmission Scheme in SDN-Based Industrial IoT (IIoT) over Fiber-Wireless Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3066-6036","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qinbin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Technology, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}]},{"given":"Taotao","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Technology, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaomin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Technology, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}]},{"given":"Yuesheng","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BMW Group, 80788 Munich, Germany"}]},{"given":"Heng","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Province Key Laboratory of Intelligent Building Energy Effciency, Suzhou University of Science and Technology, Suzhou 215009, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4724","DOI":"10.1109\/TII.2018.2852491","article-title":"Industrial internet of things: Challenges, opportunities, and directions","volume":"14","author":"Sisinni","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
