Abstract

To develop unified IoT platforms where objects can be made accessible to applications across organizations and domains, popular solutions are based on client-server overlays on today's Internet. These solutions, however, inherit the inefficiencies of the current Internet -- especially in terms of mobility, scalability, and communication reliability. To address this problem, we propose to build the unified IoT platform leveraging the salient feats of Information-Centric Network (ICN) architectures, which we call ICN-IoT. Specifically, we explore two ICN architectures -- MobilityFirst and NDN -- to support IoT, and refer to them as MF-IoT and NDN-IoT, respectively. Through detailed simulations, we find that though these two architectures fare comparably, MF-IoT incurs lower control overheads.
