IoT device management architecture based on proxy

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) requires seamless integration of heterogeneous devices and applications. Various communication technologies, protocols, data format and network solutions are used for connectivity of things in IoT. Interoperability is the most essential feature desired in data format and communication protocols to support IoT vision of connected world. However, due to the heterogeneity of elements in the IoT, management of IoT devices and others would be complex. Moreover, the data format and communication protocols are also important in the data transmission between devices and applications. This paper proposes an integrated IoT system to facilitate management of diverse resources in IoT environment. Proposed architecture is comprised of the IoT service provider, the interworking proxy and the IoT device.
