“…In the future, an increasing number of objects will be (wirelessly) connected with each other [1,2]. The rising popularity of wireless car ports, televisions, radios, rolling shutters and different types of environmental sensors demonstrates that even every-day household objects will come equipped with (wireless) communication possibilities.…”

In a future internet of things, an increasing number of every-day objects becomes interconnected with each other. Current network solutions are not designed to connect a large number of co-located devices with different characteristics and network requirements. To cope with increasingly large and heterogeneous networks, this paper presents an 'incentive driven' networking approach that optimizes the network performance by taking into account the network goals ('incentives') of all individual devices. Incentive driven networking consists of the following steps. First, devices dynamically search for co-located devices with similar network preferences and hardware and/or software capabilities. Next, if such devices are found, communities consisting of interconnected objects with similar network expectations are formed on an ad-hoc basis. Due to the similarities between the involved devices, it is easier to optimize the network performance of each individual community. Finally, different communities can cooperate with each other by activating and sharing (software or hardware) network resources. The paper describes which (future) research is needed to realize this vision and illustrates the concepts with a number of simple algorithms. Through an experimental proof-of-concept implementation with two networks of resource-constrained embedded devices, it is shown that even these simple algorithms already result in improved network performance. Finally, the paper describes a large number of example use cases that can potentially benefit from our innovative networking methodology.

“…Other enablers within the standard relating to VHO include dynamic spectrum assignment and dynamic spectrum access. The fundamental concept of the 1900.4 is to define a decision based system that acts on a set of actions, which are required to optimize the radio resource coordination and QoS in a heterogeneous wireless network environment [11]. The following entities within the 1900.4 are employed in the VHO, VHD and VHC; VHC -t/n, CIC -t/n, THM and NHM as proposed by the authors.…”

The scarce availability of spectrum and the proliferation of smartphones, social networking applications, online gaming etc., mobile network operators (MNOs) are faced with an exponential growth in packet switched data requirements on their networks. Haven invested in legacy systems (such as HSPA, WCDMA, WiMAX, Cdma2000, LTE, etc.) that have hitherto withstood the current and imminent data usage demand, future and projected usage surpass the capabilities of the evolution of these individual technologies. Hence, a more critical, cost-effective and flexible approach to provide ubiquitous coverage for the user using available spectrum is of high demand. Heterogeneous Networks make use of these legacy systems by allowing users to connect to the best network available and most importantly seamlessly handover active sessions amidst them. This paper presents a survey of interworking architectures between IMT 2000 candidate networks that employ the use of IEFT protocols such as MIP, mSCTP, HIP, MOBIKE, IKEV2 and SIP etc. to bring about this much needed capacity.

Abstract-This paper argues in favor of introducing a standardized distributed pilot channel to improve spectrum sharing between heterogeneous technologies in unlicensed and possibly licensed bands with incumbent users. The main features of such a distributed pilot channel are sketched and a simple distributed algorithm for optimization of spectrum sharing is introduced. The pilot channel serves as a supplement to spectrum sensing and can improve spectrum sharing in unlicensed and licensed bands.
