Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been inscription in this review paper. Internet of Things is a keyword to cover various challenges related to internet and the web to the real physical world. We know that, today internet has already taken an important part of everyday life and it has also dramatically changed the lives of human being. The most important factor of this invention is, integration or combination of several technologies with the communication system solutions. The most applicable factors of IoT is the identification and tracking various factors for smart objects. The universal sensing networks is enabled by Wireless Sensing Networks (WSN) and these technologies cuts across many areas of modern day living. The escalation of these devices in a communicating and actuating network will create the Internet of Things (IoT). Here the sensors and actuators combine easily with the environment around us and the information is shared across various platforms in order to develop a common operating picture (COP). Internet of Things predicts the future that, the advance digital world and the physical world will get linked by means of proper information and wireless communication system technologies. In this survey paper we have mentioned the visions, concepts, technologies, various challenges, some innovation directions, and various applications of Internet of Things (IoT).

An Extended Review on Internet of Things (IoT) and its Promising Applications

Dr. Yusuf Perwej

Communications on Applied Electronics, 2019

At present IoT is immensely a descriptive term of a vision that everything should be connected to the internet. IoT applications have been widely used in several fields of social living such as healthcare and social products, industrial automation and energy. In this scenario, there are more than 14 billion interconnected digital and electronic devices in operation worldwide, the equivalent of almost two devices for every human being on earth. The IoT connects different nonliving objects through the internet and enables them to share information with their community network to automate processes for human beings and makes their lives convenient. Subsequently, objects are being amalgamated with internet connectivity and powerful data analysis capabilities that promise to change the way we work and live. The Internet is a worldwide system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users globally. The most vital characteristics of IoT include connectivity, active engagement, connectivity, sensors, artificial intelligence, and small device use. This paper provides an overview of existing Internet of Things (IoT), technical details, and applications in this new emerging area as well as we are thoroughly analyzing the layer about the IoT. However, this manuscript will give a better understanding for the new researchers, who want to do research in this field of Internet of Things.

Internet of Things (IoT) and Its Applications

IJIRT Journal

The Internet of Things is an emerging topic of technical, social, and economic significance. Consumer products, durable goods, cars and trucks, industrial and utility components, sensors, and other everyday objects are being combined with Internet connectivity and powerful data analytic capabilities that promise to transform the way we work, live, and plays. Internet, a revolutionary invention, is always transforming into some new kind of hardware and software making it unavoidable for anyone. The form of communication that we see now is either human-human or human-device, but the Internet of Things (IoT) promises a great future for the internet where the type of communication is machine-machine (M2M). This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the IoT scenario and reviews its enabling technologies and the sensor networks. The paper concludes with a discussion of social and governance issues that are likely to arise as the vision of the Internet of Things becomes a reality.

Internet of things (IoT) applications and Challenges: A Study

Dr. HARISHCHANDER ANANDARAM

2022

During recent years, one of the most familiar names scaling new heights and creating a benchmark in the world is the Internet of Things (IoT). It is indeed the future of communication that has transformed things (objects) of the real-world into smart objects. The functional aspect of IoT is to unite every object of the world under one common infrastructure; in such a manner that humans not only have the ability to control those objects; but to provide regular and timely updates on the current status. IoT concepts were proposed a couple of years ago and it may not be incorrect to quote that this term has become a benchmark for establishing communication among objects. In context to the present standings of IoT, a comprehensive review of literature has been undertaken on various aspects of IoT, i.e., technologies, applications, challenges, etc. This paper evaluates various contributions of researchers in different areas of applications. These papers were investigated on various parameters identified in each application domain. Furthermore, existing challenges in these areas are highlighted. Future research directions in the field of IoT have also been highlighted in the study to equip novel researchers in this area to assess the current standings of IoT and to improve upon them with innovative ideas.
