This paper provides an overview of the use of small cells (e.g., femtocells) in the Internet of Things (IoT) environments. As a result of rapid increase in the number of mobile connected devices such as smart-phones and tablets, the demand for data traffic is exponentially increasing. In order to satisfy mobile users' requests and meet the requirements of high data traffic, mobile operators have to increase the network capacities dramatically. One of the promising solutions for the network operators to improve coverage and capacity, and provide high data rate services in a less costly manner is the deployment of femtocells related technologies. Femtocells will help mobile operators to provide a basis for the next generation of services which are a combination of voice, video, and data services to mobile users. Moreover, proper traffic modelling and deployment strategies of femtocells will improve the overall performance of the femtocell network. Therefore, in this survey paper, we overview modelling traffic and deployment strategies in femtocells and provide a review for the use of femtocells and their applications in the IoT environments. In addition, we present open research issues associated with IoT-femtocell based applications.

Information Freshness in Random Access Channels for IoT Systems Munari, Andrea; Uysal, Elif (2021-09-20) This paper introduces and discusses some recent advances in the field of information freshness for Internet of things (IoT) applications. Focusing on a setup in which a large number of transmitters share a common wireless channel to deliver updates to a common receiver, we tackle in particular the role played by random access policies based on variations of the basic ALOHA protocol, employed in most practical IoT systems. The fundamental trade-offs that emerge are discussed together with the enhancement ach...
A method for supporting data collection in user research studies at domestic environments Öztoprak, Aydın; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2011) This thesis analyzes data collection tools and methods in domestic environments for smart product development processes. The aim of the study is to create a method for supporting data collection studies in user research of smart products at domestic environments. The study examines the utilization of information and communication technologies in ethnographic data collection methods at domestic environments with a qualitative approach. Two case studies are conducted to understand and analyze the effects of c...
Smart Residence Management System RMS with Personalized Comfort Ay, Meral Başak; Gökalp, Ebru; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Tanyer, Ali Murat (2016-10-31) The built environment is undergoing a significant evolution, enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) concept. IoT offers some far-reaching opportunities with the help of cloud computing to exploit technological advances for the benefit of the users, society, and the environment. Technological advances in IoT makes it easier to monitor and manage environments around us. Also, increasing control over lighting/daylighting amount, fresh air ventilation rate, temperature, noise level and humidity level increase ...
Wireless Communication Aspects in the Internet of Things: An Overview ULUŞAR, ÜMİT DENİZ; Celik, Gurkan; Al-Turjman, Fadi (2017-10-12) Recent advances in technology propelled the development of resource constrained tiny devices and the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). Potential applications spanning various fields of science from environmental to medical have been emerged. Different architectures, routing protocols, performance issues and goals have been suggested. In this work, we review fundamental concepts, recent developments and critical design factors under IoT-specific constraints and objectives such as energy efficiency and env...
An ideation method in design for iot: Creating object personas via sensor data Tuna, Nur Nagihan; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2020-11-2) Internet of things (IoT) introduced some challenges as well as many opportunities for designers. Enhanced capabilities of the things transformed them from being passive assistants of humans to active agents that can collect and act on data. On the one hand, the emergence of new and more capable ‘things’ constitutes challenges for designers. Most of the studies are technology-driven, and the unprecedented experiences that designers cannot envision might result in disappointing experiences for users. On ...
