----------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------Ever since the advent of computing, managing data has been of extreme importance. With innumerable devices getting added to network infrastructure, there has been a proportionate increase in the data which needs to be stored. With the advent of Internet of Thin...

In order to produce communication devices compliant with the LTE standard, a terminal manufacturer must perform a series of tests before mass production. This work analyzes the test cases and results of LTE Protocol Conformance Test (PCT) and Interoperability Test (IOT) for the user equipment (UE). We conduct 175 PCT test cases from the 3GPP specifications and the results show a PCT pass ratio ...

Internet of Things (IoT) platforms are the key for the development of scalable IoT applications and services that connect real and virtual worlds between objects, systems, and people. However, as the IoT platform market represents a truly new market segment that was almost non-existent a few years ago, the platforms are complex and changing quickly. These IoT platforms perform simple functions ...

Denial of Service (DoS) attacks serve to diminish the ability of the network to perform its intended function over time. As DoS attacks may permeate the veil of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices from the broader internet, it is vital that these devices are able to mitigate these attacks. If such a network of IoT devices were to fail during time of need, lives of patients, war fighters, or th...

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings together a large variety of devices of different platforms, computational capacities and functionalities. The network heterogeneity and the ubiquity of IoT devices introduce increased demands on both security and privacy protection. Therefore, the cryptographic mechanisms must be strong enough to meet these increased requirements but, at the same time, they m...

In order to meet the growing demands for high-throughput, cost-effective, and energy efficient solution for the emerging device-to-device (D2D) based Internet of Things (IoT) communication, Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) and sharing based protocols have been proposed. However, due to the temporal and spatial transience of spectrum utilization by licensed incumbents, optimal spectrum resource man...

This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) based virtualization platform for providing smart tourism services. The virtualization platform provides a consistent access interface to various types of data by naming IoT devices and legacy information systems as pathnames in a virtual file system. In the other words, the IoT virtualization platform functions as a middleware which uses the meta...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is intended for ubiquitous connectivity among different entities or “things”. While its purpose is to provide effective and efficient solutions, security of the devices and network is a challenging issue. The number of devices connected along with the ad-hoc nature of the system further exacerbates the situation. Therefore, security and privacy has emerged as a sign...

This paper revisits NDN deployment in the IoT with a special focus on the interaction of sensors and actuators. Such scenarios require high responsiveness and limited control state at the constrained nodes. We argue that the NDN request-response pattern which prevents data push is vital for IoT networks. We contribute HoP-and-Pull (HoPP), a robust publish-subscribe scheme for typical IoT scenar...

Applying Semantic Web technologies to Internet of Things (IoT) enables smart applications and services in a variety of domains. However, the gap between semantic representations and data formats used in IoT devices introduces a challenge for utilizing semantics in IoT. SensorMarkup Language (SenML) is an emerging solution for representing device parameters and measurements. SenML is replacing p...
