Name based Networking Architecture for IoT Devices

Abstract

Unlike the interaction methods between human and electronic devices, the devices will be the main users in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Therefore, device-to-device (D2D) communication is expected to be an intrinsic part of the IoT arena. As expected, Device-to-Device (D2D) communication can enhance the network capacity and spectrum efficiency while sharing different genres of resources. The ability to gather relevant information in real time is the only key to leveraging the value of the IoT as such information will be transformed into intelligence, which will facilitate the creation of an intelligent environment. To make this environment more user-friendly and sustainable, the naming based scheme is proposed and probable outcomes are discussed. Ultimately, the quality of IoT promotes sharing of the infinite power with the users to communicate in-between and lead to a sustainable solution of D2D infrastructures. Considering the importance of the unique hierarchy of name based solution for D2D communication, we propose a study for standardization of work in the field of name based networking architecture for IoT devices.
