Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) promises to connect billions of objects to
Internet. After deploying many stand-alone IoT systems in different
domains, the current trend is to develop a unified IoT platform so
that objects can be made accessible to applications across
organizations and domains. Towards this goal, quite a few proposals
have been made to build a unified IoT platform as an overlay on
today's Internet. Such an overlay solution, however, is inadequate
to address the important challenges posed by a unified IoT system,
especially in terms of mobility, scalability, and communication
reliability, due to the inherent inefficiencies of the current
Internet. To address this problem, we propose to build a unified 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, scalability, and
efficient content and service delivery.
In this proposal, we first present a few popular IoT scenarios in
smart homes, smart grid, smart transportation, and smart healthcare.
Then we identify a list of important requirements with the unified
IoT architecture that promises to support tens of billions of
objects. After discussing the weaknesses of the current overlay-
based IoT solution, we propose an ICN-based solution, ICN-IoT, which
can sufficiently satisfy these requirements. We present an example
ICN-IoT architecture and discuss how it supports efficient data
discovery, data processing and data distribution. Finally, we show
that ICN-IoT efficiently supports context- based scenarios, which are
very common for many IoT applications.
