“…This dynamic binding method places many strict requirements on the devices that will be bound and, as a result, lacks the flexibility of binding any device with any other device that our solution provides. Another notable work that attempts to improve the limitation of ZigBee End Device Binding is given on [ 10 ]. This work avoids the requirement of matching cluster ID by matching sensor events with actuator actions.…”

Sensors and actuators are becoming important components of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Today, several approaches exist to facilitate communication of sensors and actuators in IoT applications. Most communications go through often proprietary gateways requiring availability of the gateway for each and every interaction between sensors and actuators. Sometimes, the gateway does some processing of the sensor data before triggering actuators. Other approaches put this processing logic further in the cloud. These approaches introduce significant latencies and increased number of packets. In this paper, we introduce a CoAP-based mechanism for direct binding of sensors and actuators. This flexible binding solution is utilized further to build IoT applications through RESTlets. RESTlets are defined to accept inputs and produce outputs after performing some processing tasks. Sensors and actuators could be associated with RESTlets (which can be hosted on any device) through the flexible binding mechanism we introduced. This approach facilitates decentralized IoT application development by placing all or part of the processing logic in Low power and Lossy Networks (LLNs). We run several tests to compare the performance of our solution with existing solutions and found out that our solution reduces communication delay and number of packets in the LLN.

“…For example, every ZigBee compliant temperature sensor must implement “measurement & sensing functional domain” and any other device in the network (e.g., a thermostat) would be able to get temperature information as defined in the specification. Additionally, ZigBee allows instantiation of intelligence in the network by defining how to coordinate devices to produce scenes and create virtual bindings among devices [19], for example, to program a switch to turn on two lights and open a motorized door.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) concept proposes that everyday objects are globally accessible from the Internet and integrate into new services having a remarkable impact on our society. Opposite to Internet world, things usually belong to resource-challenged environments where energy, data throughput, and computing resources are scarce. Building upon existing standards in the field such as IEEE1451 and ZigBee and rooted in context semantics, this paper proposes CTP (Communication Things Protocol) as a protocol specification to allow interoperability among things with different communication standards as well as simplicity and functionality to build IoT systems. Also, this paper proposes the use of the IoT gateway as a fundamental component in IoT architectures to provide seamless connectivity and interoperability among things and connect two different worlds to build the IoT: the Things world and the Internet world. Both CTP and IoT gateway constitute a middleware content-centric architecture presented as the mechanism to achieve a balance between the intrinsic limitations of things in the physical world and what is required from them in the virtual world. Said middleware content-centric architecture is implemented within the frame of two European projects targeting smart environments and proving said CTP's objectives in real scenarios.

“…This solution puts a rather stringent requirement on the nodes making its flexibility quite limited. [15] proposed a mechanism to realize more flexible binding of devices in ZigBee networks. Their solution makes associations of events generated by sensors with actions of actuators irrespective of their cluster ID.…”

The wireless communication capability of sensors and actuators made them suitable for several automation solutions which involve sensing physical properties and acting upon them. These days, gateway or cloud based sensor/actuator interaction models are widely used. In this model, every sensor/actuator interaction goes through the gateway or via the cloud. In order to realize the true Internet of Things philosophy where everything is interconnected, direct interactions between sensors and actuators, also called bindings, are important. In this paper, we introduce a CoAP based sensor/actuator binding solution where a 3 rd party is responsible for setting up the binding, but is not involved in any of the further interactions between the sensor and actuator. As binding creation and execution is fully based on RESTful CoAP interactions, very flexible bindings between any two devices can be created. We implemented this solution in Contiki and evaluated the implementation by taking different measures such as delay, memory footprint, and packet size.
