---------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-----------------------------------------------------------------As network size continues to grow exponentially, there has been a proportionate increase in the number of nodes in the corresponding network. With the advent of Internet of things (IOT), it is assumed that many more devices will be connected to the existing net...

Internet of Things (IoT) has become a promising technology for addressing societal challenges by connecting smart devices and enabling big data analytics creating smart cities worldwide. As the IoT scales up, it is important to provide interoperability of different devices. We highlight that simply standard protocols are not sufficient for openness and interoperability. IoT for smart cities nee...

Internet of Things (IoT) devices can apply mobileedge computing (MEC) and energy harvesting (EH) to provide the satisfactory quality of experiences for computation intensive applications and prolong the battery lifetime. In this article, we investigate the computation offloading for IoT devices with energy harvesting in wireless networks with multiple MEC devices such as base stations and acces...

The emerging technology breakthrough of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) is expected to offer promising solutions for food supply chain (FSC) and in-home healthcare (IHH), which may significantly contribute to human health and well-being. In this thesis, we have investigated the technologies and architectures of the IoT for these two applications as so-called Food-IoT and Health-IoT respectively. W...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing and more and more devices, so-called “things”, are being connected every day. IoT platforms provide access to those “things” and make them available for services and applications. Today, a broad range of such IoT platforms exist with differing functional foci, target domains, and interfaces. However, to fully exploit the economic impact of the IoT, it is ...

The vision of the Internet of Things (IoT) foresees a future Internet incorporating smart physical objects that offer hosted functionality as IoT services. These services when integrated with the traditional enterprise level services form the creation of ambient intelligence for a wide range of applications. To facilitate seamless access and service life cycle management of large, distributed a...

Geo-distributed and heterog eneous Internet of Things (IoT) devices can gener ate hug e amoun t of da ta. Inefficien t manag emen t of IoT-da ta promotes netw ork cong estion and increases computa tional overhead on the data-processing entities. Traditional netw orking architecture, tha t is lack of functional abstr action and monitoring capabilities, often fails to meet the dynamics of IoT. So...

The security of the Internet of Things (IoT) is receiving considerable interest as the low power constraints and complexity features of many IoT devices are limiting the use of conventional cryptographic techniques. This article provides an overview of recent research efforts on alternative approaches for securing IoT wireless communications at the physical layer, specifically the key topics of...
