A survey on subjecting electronic product code and non-ID objects to IP identification

Over the last decade, both research on the Internet of Things (IoT) and real-world IoT applications have grown exponentially. The IoT provides us with smarter cities, intelligent homes, and generally more comfortable lives. However, the introduction of these devices has led to several new challenges that must be addressed. One of the critical challenges facing interacting with IoT devices is to address billions of devices (things) around the world, including computers, tablets, smartphones, wearable devices, sensors, and embedded computers, and so on. This article provides a survey on subjecting Electronic Product Code and non-ID objects to IP identification for IoT devices, including their advantages and disadvantages thereof. Different metrics are here proposed and used for evaluating these methods. In particular, the main methods are evaluated in terms of their: (i) computational overhead, (ii) scalability, (iii) adaptability, (iv) implementation cost, and (v) whether applicable to already ID-based objects and presented in tabular format. Finally, the article proves that this field of research will still be ongoing, but any new technique must favorably offer the mentioned five evaluative parameters.Comment: 112 references, 8 figures, 6 tables, Journal of Engineering Reports, Wiley, 2020 (Open Access

A critical analysis of research potential, challenges and future directives in industrial wireless sensor networks

In recent years, Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs) have emerged as an important research theme with applications spanning a wide range of industries including automation, monitoring, process control, feedback systems and automotive. Wide scope of IWSNs applications ranging from small production units, large oil and gas industries to nuclear fission control, enables a fast-paced research in this field. Though IWSNs offer advantages of low cost, flexibility, scalability, self-healing, easy deployment and reformation, yet they pose certain limitations on available potential and introduce challenges on multiple fronts due to their susceptibility to highly complex and uncertain industrial environments. In this paper a detailed discussion on design objectives, challenges and solutions, for IWSNs, are presented. A careful evaluation of industrial systems, deadlines and possible hazards in industrial atmosphere are discussed. The paper also presents a thorough review of the existing standards and industrial protocols and gives a critical evaluation of potential of these standards and protocols along with a detailed discussion on available hardware platforms, specific industrial energy harvesting techniques and their capabilities. The paper lists main service providers for IWSNs solutions and gives insight of future trends and research gaps in the field of IWSNs

A survey on mobility management protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks based on 6LoWPAN technology

International audienceMobility has the advantage of enlarging WSN applications. However, proposing a mobility support protocol in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) represents a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose a survey on the mobility management protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks based on 6LoWPAN technology. This technology enables to connect IP sensor devices to other IP networks without any need for gateways. We highlight the advantages and drawbacks with performances issues of each studied solution. Then, in order to select a typical classification of mobility management protocols in WSNs, we provide some classification criteria and approaches on which these protocols are based. Finally, we present a comparative study of the existing protocols in terms of the required performances for this network type

6LoWPAN in Wireless Sensor Network with IoT in 5G Technology for Network Secure Routing and Energy Efficiency

Today, interconnection and routing protocols must discover the best solution for secure data transformation with a variety of smart devices due to the growing influence of information technology, such as Internet of Things (IoT), in human life. In order to handle routing concerns with regard to new interconnection approaches like the 6LoWPAN protocol, it is required to offer an improved solution. This research propose novel technique in 6LoWPAN network secure routing and energy efficiency (EE) for WSN in IoT application based on 5G technology. Here the energy optimization has been carried out using clustered channel aware least square support vector machine (Cl_CHLSSVM). Then the secure routing has been carried out using fuzzy based Routing Protocol for low-power and Lossy Networks with kernel-particle swarm optimization (Fuz_RPL_KPSO). To serve needs of IoT applications, proposed method is cognizant of both node priorities as well as application priorities. Applications' sending rate allocation is modeled as a constrained optimization issue.Pxperimental analysis is carried out in terms of throughput of 96%, weighted fairness index of 77%, end-to-end delay of 59%, energy consumption of 86%, and buffer dropped packets of 51%

Internet protocol over wireless sensor networks, from myth to reality

Internet Protocol (IP) is a standard network layer protocol of the Internet architecture, allowing communication among heterogeneous networks. For a given network to be accessible from the Internet it must have a router that complies with this protocol. Wireless sensor networks have many smart sensing nodes with computational, communication and sensing capabilities. Such smart sensors cooperate to gather relevant data and present it to the user. The connection of sensor networks and the Internet has been realized using gateway or proxy- based approaches. Historically, several routing protocols were specifically created, discarding IP. However, recent research, prototypes and even implementation tools show that it is possible to combine the advantages of IP access with sensor networks challenges, with a major contribution from the 6LoWPAN Working Group. This paper presents the advantages and challenges of IP on sensor networks, surveys the state-of-art with some implementation examples, and points further research topics in this area
