A Lightweight Framework for IoT Smart Solutions

Abstract

Successive technological improvements have made possible the development of IoT with a high capacity for communication and data collection, providing numerous opportunities for application. As a result, attention from researchers in both academic and industrial environments has been drawn to the subject matter. Despite all the enhancements till date, there are still several open issues that represent the main challenges for IoT. One of these concerns resides in the management of the devices responsible for collecting environmental data. The functionality and reliability of the services it provides depends on the correct management of the sensor devices. In this article we propose a framework for the development of a lightweight IoT smart solution using the FIWARE Open-Source Platform. This solution scheme is intended for an indoor localization system using Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals.
