A Priced Public Sensing Framework for Heterogeneous IoT Architectures

Abstract

The proliferation of wireless sensors has given rise to public sensing (PS) as a vibrant datasharing model. This vision can be extended under the umbrella of the Internet of Things (IoT) to include versatile data sources within smart cities such as cell phones, radio frequency identification tags and sensors on roads, and buildings and living spaces. The facilitation of such a vision faces many challenges in terms of inter operability, resource management, and pricing. In this paper, we present a priced PS framework for IoT architectures. Our framework caters for service-based applications in smart cities where data is provided via a data cloud of multifarious data sources. We propose online heuristics for public data delivery in smart city settings. We also introduce a pricing utility function for data acquisition. Our pricing function considers resource limitations in terms of delay, capacity and lifetime on the data providers' side, as well as user's quality and trust requirements from the requesters' side. We present simulation results showing the efficiency of our scheme as compared with other wireless sensor and mobile ad-hoc schemes with respect to scalability, lifetime, delay, delivery ratio, and price.INDEX TERMS Wireless sensor networks, public sensing, Internet of Things, heuristic algorithms, utility functions.

An Evolutionary Secure Energy Efficient Routing Protocol in Internet of Things

“…In [22], the authors presented propose online heuristics for public data delivery in smart city settings and also introduce a pricing utility function for data acquisition. There pricing function considers resource limitations in terms of delay, capacity and lifetime on the data provider's side, as well as user's quality and trust requirements from the requesters' side.…”

Cloud Centric IoT Framework for Supply Chain Management

“…Built-in sensors in mobile devices can leverage the performance of IoT applications in terms of energy and communication overhead savings [11], [12]. Therefore, It has a benefit of strong candidate for front-end access to the cloudcentric IoT, where mobile devices provide their sensed data based on the pay-as-you-go fashion [13].…”

“…Today, India positions second worldwide in Agriculture production. 13.7% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in 2013 is based upon Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry and fisheries for 13.7% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in 2013. India is the world's biggest vote based system with 1.2 billion populations.…”

“…The Internet of Things (IoT) standard has point of interest of ubiquitous interconnection of billions of embedded devices that can be uniquely identified, localized, and communicated [2].IoT architectures are either Internet driven or object driven. Scalability and cost efficiency of IoT services can be accomplished by the integration of cloud-computing into the IoT architecture, i.e., cloud-centric IoT [3][4] [5]. Applications that can be enhanced by the coordination of Iot into cloud computing are many, for example, healthcare [6], smart homes [7], smart cities [8], and future transportation systems [9].…”

Path planning for data collectors in Precision Agriculture WSNs

“…However, the use of WSNs in PA will face several challenges related to field coverage, data delivery, and network topology control because of the outdoor harsh operational conditions [18] [21] [23]. Therefore, we propose Smart Environment Monitoring System (SEMS) that addresses all these challenges and helps in realizing a practical sensing framework in PA. SEMS will address 3-Dimensional (3-D) aspects in PA, where irregular surface patterns, wild obstacles grow up, and 3-D setups are considered.…”
