The Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, is constantly growing and attracting interest for next generation information and communication infrastructures. In this paper we focus on the exploitation of IoT platforms for remote healthcare status monitoring within the context of the so called connected health applications. In this context users and most importantly healthcare service providers and first...
Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) is receiving more attention in commercial and academic research, especially about its security property. However, current protocols cannot satisfy the requirement of various IoT applications and introduce some problems. There are three typical problems: traditional public key infrastructure (PKI) apply in IoT will incur great overhead, wireless sensor network...
The near future Internet of Things (IoT) allows devices to discover and to establish cooperation autonomously in an opportunistic manner. While the incentive service is available, the front-end inter-organisational devices may help each other not only on sharing information, but they can also share their Internet connection towards saving energy. Considering that different devices may have been configured...
Disseminating sensory information from sensor nodes to the gateway node towards Data Center Server has to be guaranteed its fruitfulness. However, these important information commonly are transmitted over wireless connections whereas everyone including adversaries may join freely in the network. Hence, the correctness of received information should be emphasized. To do so, such information should...
Representational State Transfer (REST) is a web architecture that take the advantage of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to invoke a certain code in the server to do action, either to store, update, delete, or query a value in the server. This kind of implementation are the basis of all Application Program Interface (API) system used by the web application. API provide a tools for creating a software...
Advances in wireless communication devices and systems have a significant impact on various fields like agriculture, healthcare, smart homes etc. One of its important applications is the development of monitoring system for various purposes. Automated water usage monitoring system proposes an effective way of controlling the wastage of water at home/Industries by means of Wireless sensor nodes and...
Power control is the mechanism used in industries, large organization as well as in small sectors like home automation for the reduction of transmitting output powering the communication system to achieve good performance of the system. The power management is a technical mechanism which is used in the network devices to prevent the interference between different wireless networks and reduce the used...
Wireless standardization activities such as Bluetooth V4.x have led to an explosive growth in innovative short-range wireless devices capable of providing various services to assist everyday life. Allowing Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication between these M2M devices also enable new commercial service opportunities. Typically, short range M2M devices need another capable device such as a smartphone...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is defined as a scattered topology of sensor nodes, sensing the data from the environment, processing and transmitting it to server node. This architecture is comparable to a smart grid application' Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)' where a smart meter(node) serves as a data collecting device and reports the energy usage to the server. Although the IEEE802.15.4/...
Wireless standardization activities such as the Bluetooth V4.x (Bluetooth smart) have led to an explosive growth in innovative short-range wireless devices capable of providing various services to assist everyday life. Allowing Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication between these M2M devices also enable new commercial service opportunities. The M2M service providers including telecom carriers may...
The sensor node signal interface is the channel for sensor connecting to sensor node. Therefore, in order to verify the conformance between sensor network signal interface and signal interface standard, the design and implementation of WSN signal interface conformance test system based on web wsa presented. The test content included the signal interface description file, signal type supported by interface,...
Wireless hotspots allow users to use Internet via Wi-Fi interface, and many shops, cafés, parks, and airports provide free wireless hotspot services to attract customers. However, there is no authentication mechanism of Wi-Fi access points (APs) available in such hotspots, which makes them vulnerable to evil twin AP attacks. Such attacks are harmful because they allow to steal sensitive data from...
The Internet is smoothly migrating from an Internet of people towards an Internet of Things (IoT). By 2020, it is expected to have 50 billion things connected to the Internet. However, such a migration induces a strong level of complexity when handling interoperability between the heterogeneous Internet things, e.g., RFIDs (Radio Frequency Identification), mobile handheld devices, and wireless sensors...
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) provides a complete communication framework for data retrieval and dissemination. It leverages innovative naming, security schemes and novel routing strategies, augmented with caching at intermediate nodes. Content requests are forwarded towards the source(s) by direct use of content names (instead of IP addresses), matching the layout of the Wireless Sensor Network...
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,...
In this paper, based on the DDNS(Dynamic Domain Name Service) and port mapping technology, a method about server port mapping and server-side gateway dynamic DNS is introduced, which can be applied in Data Collecting System based on the Internet of Things. In this way, the external sensor-side gateway can access the intranet server which has a dynamic IP address.
Unlike traditional networked embedded systems, the Internet of Things interconnects heterogeneous devices from various manufacturers with diverse functionalities. To foster the emergence of novel applications, this vast infrastructure requires a common application layer. As a single global standard for all device types and application domains is impracticable, we propose an architecture where the...
A novel idea presented in this paper is to deploy the Open Flow technology in wireless sensor networks that can lead to a significant achievement in Internet of things and cloud computing arena through network virtualization. Two new abstract layers namely Common platform layer and virtualization layer can be added at the top and bottom of a preset Infrastructure as a Service architecture. Our proposed...
The Internet of Things vision states that sensors and actuators shall be integrated into the global Internet to facilitate an interaction with and integration of the physical environment. The development of enabling technologies like uIPv6 and 6LoWPAN provide the basic requirements for this interconnection. However, a seamless Internet-connection and interconnection between sensors and actuators can...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have received lots of attention in recent years. WSNs have been applied to multiple fields such as video surveillance, home automation, and health care. How to efficiently manage WSN devices thus becomes an important issue. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an IP-based network management protocol which can collect and modify management information from network...
