The applications traditionally use polling-based communication protocols. However, in polling-based communication over current industrial wireless network protocols such as ISA100.11a, WirelessHART have difficulty in realizing both scheduled periodic data collection at high success ratio and unpredictable on-demand communications with short latency. In this paper, a polling-based transmission scheme using a network traffic uniformity metric is proposed for IIoT applications. In the proposed scheme, a center node controls the transmission timing of all polling-based communication in accordance with a schedule that is determined by a Genetic Algorithm. Communication of both periodic and unpredictable on-demand data collection are uniformly assigned to solve the above difficulties in the schedule. Simulation results show that network traffic is generated uniformly and a center node can collect periodic data from nodes at high success ratio. The average success probability of periodical data collection is 97.4 % and the lowest probability is 95.2 % .<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19010187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,9]],"date-time":"2019-01-09T03:06:06Z","timestamp":1547003166000},"page":"187","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Polling-Based Transmission Scheme Using a Network Traffic Uniformity Metric for Industrial IoT Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9402-0923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuichi","family":"Igarashi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Technology Innovation, Research &amp; Development Group, Hitachi, Ltd., 1-280, Higashi-koigakubo Kokubunji-shi, Tokyo 185-8601, Japan"}]},{"given":"Ryo","family":"Nakano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Technology Innovation, Research &amp; Development Group, Hitachi, Ltd., 1-280, Higashi-koigakubo Kokubunji-shi, Tokyo 185-8601, Japan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6195-6087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Naoki","family":"Wakamiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Osaka University, Osaka 565-0871, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"76","DOI":"10.1038\/scientificamerican1004-76","article-title":"The Internet of Things","volume":"291","author":"Gershenfeld","year":"2004","journal-title":"Sci.
