As LoRaWAN networks are actively being deployed in the field, it is important to comprehend the limitations of this low power wide area network technology. Previous work has raised questions in terms of the scalability and capacity of LoRaWAN networks as the number of end devices grows to hundreds or thousands per gateway. Some works have modeled LoRaWAN networks as pure ALOHA networks, which fails...
Connected devices offer tremendous opportunities. However, their configuration and control remains a major challenge in order to reach widespread adoption by less technically skilled people. Over the past few years, a lot of attention has been given to improve the configuration process of constrained devices with limited resources, such as available memory and absence of a user interface. Still, a...
As the Internet of Things continues to grow rapidly in the coming years, the number of devices with limited resources will continue to grow as well. These so-called constrained devices typically implement specialized protocols and data formats for increased efficiency. While this reduces the load on constrained devices, it also limits the usability of such devices for their users. This paper presents...
As the IP-integration of wireless sensor networks enables end-to-end interactions, solutions to appropriately secure these interactions with hosts on the Internet are necessary. At the same time, burdening wireless sensors with heavy security protocols should be avoided. While Datagram TLS (DTLS) strikes a good balance between these requirements, it entails a high cost for setting up communication...
Gateway or cloud based interaction models are widely used for automation solutions that use networked sensors and actuators. In this model, every sensor/actuator interaction goes through the gateway or via the cloud. In order to realize the true Internet of Things philosophy where everything is interconnected, direct interactions between sensors and actuators, also called bindings, are important....
As open standards for the Internet of Things gain traction, the current Intranet of Things will evolve to a truly open Internet of Things, where constrained devices are first class citizens of the public Internet. However, the large amount of control over constrained networks offered by today's vertically integrated platforms, becomes even more important in an open IoT considering its promise of direct...
The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a new Internet protocol that is currently being standardized. CoAP allows access to the drastically increasing number of smart objects and their sensing resources from virtually anywhere. It is a light-weight protocol designed to cope with the restrictions imposed by the limited resources (CPU, memory, power) of many smart objects. Depending on the application,...
