Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a new cellular technology introduced in 3GPP Release 13 for providing wide-area coverage for the Internet of Things (IoT). This article provides an overview of the air interface of NB-IoT. It describes how NB-IoT addresses key IoT requirements such as deployment flexibility, low device complexity, long battery life time, support of massive number of dev...

Keynote David Rose The New Vanguard for Business: Connectivity, Design, and the Internet of Things The Internet of Things is the hottest topic of the moment a shift predicted to be as momentous as the impact of the internet itself. The internet has allowed us to share ideas and data largely input by humans. What about a world where data from objects as diverse as umbrellas, fridges, and gas tan...

My research interests are in the areas of wireless networking and sensing systems. Today, wireless networks use radio frequency (RF) signals to communicate. My research demonstrates that we can also use these signals as sensing tools that enable us to learn about our environment without physically reaching out to the various objects in it. Specifically, as these signals travel in the wireless m...

The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Services (IoS) are two well-known exemplars of the emerging ‘Internet variants’. These variants will be tightly interwoven yet specific with respect to the supporting technologies needed. The present paper discusses the five variants identified as essential by the authors: IoT, IoS, Internet-ofHumans, Internet-of-Crowds, and Internet-of-Clouds. F...

More and more, devices around us are being connected to each other in the realm of Internet of Things (IoT). Their communication and especially collaboration promises useful services to be provided to end users. However, the same communication channels pose important privacy concerns to be raised. It is not clear which information will be shared with whom, for which intents, under which conditi...

As the Internet of Things evolves, attention has been paid to adding intelligence capabilities, some of them via semantic technologies. However, many of these developments are still too device-centric and more needs to be done to make the IoT more people-centric. One important aspect in this direction is supporting spatial constructs that are meaningful to humans. We present the OpenThings plat...
