DESCRIPTION
Internet of things (IoT) presence in the existence world is huge. It has a wide variety of applications like wearables, smart cities, industrial internet, connected car, connected health, smart supply chain, smart farming, connected healthcare to name a few. According to Gartner prediction the number of IoT connected devices will be 20 billion which is more than human population. The amount of data generated every single minute is enormous and a clear overhead to consider. Creating the connectivity between these smart devices for a real time decision making is cumbersome. The IoT protocols are the basic need of communication. There were wide variety of protocols are in presence based on infrastructure, identification, routing, discovery, data protocols, device management, semantic and multilayer frameworks.
To build a formidable IoT system to provide a ubiquitous service is the definition and is an arduous task. It brings out various limitations and challenges like mobility, scalability, compatibility, interoperability, security. For example, interoperability for all sensors and physical objects depends on the standardization IoT. The performance of IoT is measured through how these IoT protocols are allowing as a platform for the IoT applications to achieve. The communication of IoT is based on various communication protocols that are needed for the connectivity to the smart devices like sensors. Where the energy constraint is a critical element to deal with. Mobility protocols are the other set of protocols used for mobility management. The challenges it faces are like mobility, power supply, processing capacity. IoT network optimization helps the performance to be better on many directions like reliability, scalability, congestion control, routing heterogeneity, quality of service etc. The protocol enhancement is expected to reduce lot of overhead. Performance testing of IoT faces impediment because of its geographical location presence which connects to various servers to send and receive data, load conditions and real-time decision making.
The open challenges of IoT communication were plenty like data privacy, trust, connectivity for smart devices, security and etc.
The topics of this special issue include, but are not limited to:
Queuing and network information theoretic analysis for IoT based communication protocols
