However, some of the use cases (i.e., emergency situations) in the Internet of Things (IoT) requires push-based traffic, where a producer broadcasts the data based on the emergency situation without any consumer request. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the existing NDN forwarding engine when designing for an IoT scenario. Although solutions are provided to enable push-based traffic in IoT, the main solutions in the current literature lack data broadcast control design. Moreover, the existing solutions use an additional interest messages exchange, which creates extra overheads in the network, thereby resulting in higher delay and lower throughput. In this paper, therefore, we propose a name-based push-data broadcast control scheme for IoT systems, and consider two scenarios, i.e., smart buildings and vehicular networks. The proposed scheme consists of a robust content namespace design, device namespace design, and minor amendments to the data packet format and unsolicited data policy of the forwarding engine as well. The evaluation is carried out for both scenarios. Simulation experiments show that the proposed scheme outperforms the recent proposed schemes in terms of total number of data packets processed in the network, total energy consumption, and average delay in the network by varying the number of data packets per 2 s and varying vehicle speed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19143034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,10]],"date-time":"2019-07-10T11:56:51Z","timestamp":1562759811000},"page":"3034","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Hierarchical Name-Based Mechanism for Push-Data Broadcast Control in Information-Centric Multihop Wireless Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6475-2434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rehmat","family":"Ullah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics &amp; Computer Engineering, Hongik University, Sejong City 30016, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6812-8620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Atif Ur","family":"Rehman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics &amp; Computer Engineering, Hongik University, Sejong City 30016, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9824-1950","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Byung Seo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Software and Communications Engineering, Hongik University, Sejong City 30016, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1010","DOI":"10.1109\/JIOT.2018.2866709","article-title":"Recent Advances of Edge Cache in Radio Access Networks for Internet of Things: Techniques, Performances, and Challenges","volume":"6","author":"Piao","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Int.
