Mechanism for adaptive and context-aware inter-IoT communication

Abstract

The expected proliferation of massive number of connected devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) context imposes several challenges and constraints to inter & intra IoT communication. Current mechanism has limited capability for handling a number of aspects associated with this exponential rise in connected devices, types and functions of IoT networks, and availability of heterogeneous modes of communications. Such aspects include network & device specific identity and session maintenance, context-aware and adaptive communication, security needs, reliability and criticality of communication, etc. To address some of these challenges, we present a novel approach for adaptive and context-aware inter-IoT communication across heterogeneous networks supporting IoT service requirements and mobility.
