Abstract:
The 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 common, "thin
waist" of protocols forming a 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 IoT platform as an overlay on top
of today's Internet. Such overlay solutions, however, are inadequate
to address the important challenges posed by a heterogeneous, global
scale deployment of IoT, 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 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,
scalability, and efficient content and service delivery.
This draft sets the 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 analyze the current
state of art deployment model and discuss important and popular IoT
scenarios including the "smart" home, campus, grid, transportation
infrastructure, healthcare, Education, and Entertainment. Though we
see most of these requirements are met by ICN, we discuss specific
challenges ICN has to address to satisfy them considering
heterogeneity in IoT environments and scenarios.
