5G-enabled devices and smart-spaces in social-IoT: An overview

2019-03-01
Al-Turjrnan, Fadi
The abundance of smartphones, with their growing capabilities potentiates applications in numerous domains. A typical smartphone nowadays is equipped with an array of embedded sensors (e.g., GPS, accelerometers, gyroscopes, RFID readers, cameras, and microphones) along with different communication interfaces (e.g. Cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.). Thus, a smartphone is a significant provider for sensory data that awaits the utilization in many critical applications. Primers of this vision have demonstrated success, both in the literature and application's market. In this literature review, we present the main motivations in carrying these smart devices, and the correlation between the user surrounding context and the application usage. We focus on context -awareness in smart systems and space discovery paradigms; online versus offline, the femtocell usage and energy aspects to be considered, and about the ongoing social IoT applications. Moreover, we highlight the most up-to-date open research issues in this area.

SWARM-based data delivery in Social Internet of Things
Hasan, Mohammed Zaki; Al-Turjman, Fadi (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-01)
Social Internet of Things (SIoTs) refers to the rapidly growing network of connected objects and people that are able to collect and exchange data using embedded sensors. To guarantee the connectivity among these objects and people, fault tolerance routing has to be significantly considered. In this paper, we propose a bio-inspired particle multi-swarm optimization (PMSO) routing algorithm to construct, recover and select k-disjoint paths that tolerates the failure while satisfying quality of service (QoS) ...
Cognitive-Node Architecture and a Deployment Strategy for the Future WSNs
Al-Turjman, Fadi (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-10-01)
The advent of sensing and communication technologies represents the next step in the evolution of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and future applications. Future WSNs systems demand that connected devices could be able to work autonomously, while surfing on-line generated data and process them for self-decision making. Accordingly, we propose a cognitive Information-Centric Sensor Network (ICSN) framework. The fundamentals of cognition in ICSN can be recognized as a promising direction in addressing opportu...
Energy efficient wireless unicast routing alternatives for machine-to-machine networks
Tekbiyik, Neyre; Uysal, Elif (Elsevier BV, 2011-09-01)
Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications is a new and rapidly developing technology for large-scale networking of devices without dependence on human interaction. Energy efficiency is one of the important design objectives for machine-to-machine network architectures that often contain multihop wireless subnetworks. Constructing energy-efficient routes for sending data through such networks is important not only for the longevity of the nodes which typically depend on battery energy, but also for achieving a...
A Wireless Vehicle-based mobile network infrastructure designed for smarter cities
Quer, Giorgio; Aktas, Tugcan; Librino, Federico; Javidi, Tara; Rao, Ramesh R. (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-15)
The evolution of smart city services and applications requires a more efficient wireless infrastructure to provide the needed data rate to users in a high-density environment with high mobility, satisfying at the same time the request for high-connectivity and low-energy consumption. To address the challenges in this new network scenario, we propose to opportunistically rely on the increasing number of connected vehicles in densely populated urban areas. The idea is to support the macro base station (BS) wi...
A Cognitive Routing Protocol for Bio-Inspired Networking in the Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT)
Al-Turjman, Fadi (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-10-01)
In this paper, we propose a framework for data delivery in nano-scale networks, where numerous wireless sensors are distributed on a human body, small object, tiny plant root, etc. Our framework caters for green energy-efficient applications in the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT) where data is relayed via nano-routers from a multifarious nanonodes towards a gateway connected to a large-scale network such as the Internet. We consider the entire network energy while choosing the next hop for our routed packets...
