The world is converging toward a critical point in history where the question has to be asked, will there be enough resources to go around? Populations around the globe are growing and moving out of poverty towards the consumption based lifestyles of western countries. This means more is needed, more oil, more water, and more food. These resources are finite, limited, and often wasted. Through the use of technology and data, these resources can be better utilized. Data and data analysis will allow these systems to be optimized to produce more and waste less. The goal of this project is to use data and apply it to the field of plant growth and agriculture. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a data driven technology that seeks to integrate and connect everyday devices and sensors. This data infrastructure can be used for a variety of applications such as home automation, industrial manufacturing, healthcare, and smart agriculture. Although each application is derived from a significantly different field, the underlying communication protocols are very similar and must adhere to similar constraints. The constraints of low power devices, lossy links, noisy environments, and embedded microcontrollers with limited memory and processing power. These protocols are the basis of the IoT protocol stack. They create the framework that determines how data is transferred within an IoT network [3][4]. The focus of active IoT research is shifting towards data, how data is sent, how

The main tasks of this framework are to analyze and determine the smart activities of these intelligent devices through maintaining a dynamic interconnection among those devices. The proposed framework will help to standardize IoT infrastructure so that it can receive e-services based on context information leaving the current infrastructure unchanged. The active collaboration of these heterogeneous devices and protocols can lead to future ambient computing where the maximum utilization of cloud computing will be ensured.
IoT offers a platform for sensors and devices to communicate seamlessly within a smart environment and enables information sharing across platforms in a convenient manner. The recent adaptation of different wireless technologies places IoT as the next revolutionary technology by benefiting from the full opportunities offered by the Internet technology. IoT has witnessed its recent adoption in smart cities with interest in developing intelligent systems, such as smart office, smart retail, smart agriculture, smart water, smart transportation, smart healthcare, and smart energy. IoT has emerged as a new trend in the last few years, where mobile devices, transportation facilities, public facilities, and home appliances can all be used as data acquisition equipment in IoT. All surrounding electronic equipment to facilitate daily life operations, such as wristwatches, vending machines, emergency alarms, and garage doors, as well as home appliances, such as refrigerators, microwave ovens, air conditioners, and water heaters are connected to an IoT
“In a few decades’ time, computers will be interwoven into almost every industrial product”, said computer scientist pioneer Karl Steinbuch in 1966. Steinbuch’s prediction couldn’t be closer to the truth. Today we see the “Internet of Things” (IoT), which is the concept that modern devices are provided with “unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring any human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction” (Rouse, 2014). Wireless technologies, the internet, and various other types of computer networks have converged to form the IoTs as we know it. The Internet of Things is a complex technical and policy-related subject, and impacts everything from politics and the environment, to society and the economy.
A current trend in cyber security, known as the internet of things (IoT), covers the boundaries of the net to include an extensive range of computing devices. Linking a wide array of IoT devices to the Internet presents many challenges. Due to the gathered data being exposed to a widespread amount of internet users, the main challenge is security. Most IoT devices on the market are low-tier and have limited functionality, because of this, many standard security strategies cannot be implemented to secure IoT systems. This leaves a door wide open for exploits and attacks both towards services of IoT and the whole internet itself. Most of these security issues can be resolved by following a unified IoT framework that runs on all IoT devices.
The Internet of things is a large and growing topic, there are many projects and much research being developed for it. Here, we have compiled a list of the names of some of these projects: “Microsoft Lab of Things”, “CALIPSO (Connect All IP-based Smart Objects)”, “ELLIOT (Experiential Living Lab for the Internet Of Things)”, “EPoSS (European Technology Platform on Smart
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnected network of sensors, machines, and devices via wireless transmission. The challenge with this concept is that it requires an abstract definition of a concrete process. Connecting devices together to enhance their potential and to increase proficiency is the theory behind the IoT. The data created, complied and used by sensors, machines and devices is the application of IoT. Pye’s article takes these concepts and further defines the impact on industrial and scientific applications.
2. INTRODUCTION :Smart locks, smart cars — you’ve probably heard some of these terms lately, and you’re going to hear them even more as the year goes on. But what are these things exactly — and what makes them so smart? These devices are all part of an emerging category called the Internet of Things, or IoT for short. Internet of things refers to a concept that internet is no longer just a global network for people to communicate with one another using computers, but it is a platform for devices to communicate electronically with the world around them. It includes objects ranging from computers to washing machines and laptops to microwaves. It is based on a rule that “everything that can be connected should be connected”.
Authorization determines whether an entity (i.e., person or object) is permitted to access a certain resource. Access control means controlling access to resources by granting or denying access according to a wide range of criteria. Authorization is typically implemented through the use of access controls. As expected in IoT there will be an extremely large number of devices with low power requirements communicating over distributed and ad-hoc networks with low bandwidth connections to the Internet, creating a unique set of authorization and access control challenges. Thus, the standard authorization models may need adaptation before they are ready for application in IoT [12]. While there are many platforms and technologies available for IoT, access control issues are often overlooked. In the IoT context, the convergence of the physical and cyber worlds will make it
The Internet of Things is a complex, innovative system rooted in the idea of connectivity. Individual artifacts that transmit data and information amongst each other ensure a smooth and coherent experience based off their ability to communicate through internet connection, sharing the same network to create incomparable efficiency and convenience. The Internet of Things is constantly developing to work in new areas and scenarios, further securing its essentiality in the domain of the technological future
In this section, we discuss some standard and non-standard protocols that are used for routing in IoT applications.
An Internet of Things (IoT) system connects the physical world into Internet via radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, sensors, and mobile devices. IoT is an intelligent collaboration of tiny sensors and devices giving new challenges to the end to end communication of things.
Making IoT reality there are some features that must be satisfied. Low power demand is one of them. This is particularly useful when devices have no or limited access to power sources. The device must be active on the requirement, involve occasional human or system interaction or connected to a large network of devices that cumulatively consume a lot of power. The practical implementation of this is possible when it is supported by updates to control signaling, idle and sleep mode, link adaptation, and uplink (UL) power control. Collaboration with other devices is also an alternative to decrease power consumption (Wu, Talwar, Johnsson, Himayat, & Johnson, 2011). The example is IP (Internet Protocol) stack, a light protocol that links a large number of communicating devices all over the world. Its operation required only small and battery operated embedded devices (Atzori, Iera, & Morabito, 2010).
This is an active area of IoT research and will be the primary focus of this project. If data can be effectively gathered, networked, and analyzed, then that data can then be used to impart real and significant change on the environment. For agricultural systems this will result in improved plant health, increased harvest yields, and decreased waste.
The proposed solution is to develop a protocol, a set of rules, to monitor application performance and the real-time state of the network in the Internet of Things (IoT). The objective of this ruleset is to achieve Quality of Service (QoS) from the network perspective and Quality of Experience (QoE) from the user perspective. This ruleset will support a range of devices and applications in the IoT. There will also be consideration taken into
