Abstract

Smart embedded objects will become an important part of what is called the Internet of Things. However, the integration of embedded devices into the Internet introduces several challenges, since many of the existing Internet technologies and protocols were not designed for this class of devices. In the past few years, there have been many efforts to enable the extension of Internet technologies to constrained devices. Initially, this resulted in proprietary protocols and architectures. Later, the integration of constrained devices into the Internet was embraced by IETF, moving towards standardized IP-based protocols. In this paper, we will briefly review the history of integrating constrained devices into the Internet, followed by an extensive overview of IETF standardization work in the 6LoWPAN, ROLL and CoRE working groups. This is complemented with a broad overview of related research results that illustrate how this work can be extended or used to tackle other problems and with a discussion on open issues and challenges. As such the aim of this paper is twofold: apart from giving readers solid insights in IETF standardization work on the Internet of Things, it also aims to encourage readers to further explore the world of Internet-connected objects, pointing to future research opportunities.

  • Lack of interoperability between devices and networks is a major challenge in 5G-IoT.

    “Interoperability and Heterogeneity, seamlessly interconnection between a large number of devices and heterogeneous networks will increase productivity, however the lack of interoperability between these devices and networks is a major challenge in 5G-IoT.”

    From Future Industry Internet of Things with Zero-trust Security (2024) · cites this paper as Ishaq et al., 2013

    Section 7.3 identifies end-to-end interoperability between IoT devices as a key factor and describes unresolved interoperability problems. Section 2 also discusses compatibility barriers when connecting constrained devices to the Internet. The passages do not address 5G-IoT specifically, so they support the general challenge but not its application to that setting. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
