Abstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to connect billions of objects
to the Internet. After deploying many stand-alone IoT systems in
different domains, the current trend is to develop a common, "thin
waist" of protocols forming a horizontal unified, defragmented IoT
platform. Such a platform will make objects accessible to
applications across organizations and domains. Towards this goal,
quite a few proposals have been made to build a unified host-centric
IoT platform as an overlay on top of today's host-centric Internet.
However, there is a fundamental mismatch between the host-centric
nature of todays Internet and the information-centric nature of the
IoT system. To address this mismatch, we propose to build a common
set of protocols and services, which form an IoT platform, based on
the Information Centric Network (ICN) architecture, which we call
ICN-IoT. ICN-IoT leverages the salient features of ICN, and thus
provides seamless mobility support, security, scalability, and
efficient content and service delivery.
This draft describes representative IoT requirements and ICN
challenges to realize a unified ICN-IoT framework. Towards this, we
first identify a list of important requirements which a unified IoT
architecture should have to support tens of billions of objects, then
we discuss how the current IP-IoT overlay fails to meet these
requirements, followed by discussion on suitability of ICN for IoT.
Though we see most of the IoT requirements can be met by ICN, we
discuss specific challenges ICN has to address to satisfy them. Then
we provide discussion of popular IoT scenarios including the "smart"
home, campus, grid, transportation infrastructure, healthcare,
Education, and Entertainment for completeness, as specific scenarios
requires appropriate design choices and architectural considerations
towards developing an ICN-IoT solution.
