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 host centric 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 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 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 the IoT requirements can be
met by ICN, we discuss specific challenges ICN has to address to
satisfy them.
