A Survey on Trend and Classification of Internet of Things Reviews

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is shaping the current and next generation of the Internet. The vision of IoT is to embed communication capabilities with a highly distributed, ubiquitous and dense heterogeneous devices network. This vision includes the adaptation of secure mobile networks, anytime, anywhere, by anyone or anything with new intelligent applications and services. Many efforts have been made to review the literature related to the IoT for the benefit of IoT development. However, many issues need to be addressed to overtake the full potential of the IoT. Therefore, this paper aims to classify and standardize IoT research areas by considering review papers that were published between 2010 and 2019. This paper analyzes a total of 95 related reviews, which were manually selected from databases based on 6 chosen areas. This paper presents the trends and classification of IoT reviews based on 6 research areas, namely, application, architecture, communication, challenges, technology, and security. IoT communication research has been dominating the trends with 21% of total reviews and more than 100% research growth in the last 10 years. Hence, this paper can provide useful insights into specific emerging areas of IoT to assist future research.

IoMT amid COVID-19 pandemic: Application, architecture, technology, and security

“…Researchers have been proposing many interesting and implementable ideas to improve and morph the traditional medical ecosystem into an IoMT ecosystem. These enhancements apply across the board - application, architecture, technology, communication, and security components ( Mohd Aman et al., 2020 ). The medical ecosystem framework is generally referred to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model but with relevant modifications made to incorporate IoT communication and technology.…”

Bio‐fuel cell for medical device energy system: A review

“…IoT devices allow physicians to monitor patient safety continuously through remote monitoring without physical interference. 72 Besides the body health tracking system, the applications of IoT in medical also includes real-time surveillance. It is helpful to have such a system for data collection, storage, transfer, and analytics.…”

“…Medical devices embedded with IoT sensors are connected to the Internet to enable smart medical applications. Among the IoT sensors functionality used in the medical field include: (a) location/occupation/motion detection, (b) intensity and pressure calculation, (c) flow and chemical detection, and (d) humidity, temperature, and radiation detection 72,73 . These sensors are embedded in medical wearable, nonwearable, implantable, and nonimplantable devices.…”

“…In order to support the recent phenomena of the medical ecosystem, researchers have suggested many technology innovative and workable proposals to develop and improve the existing medical devices. These developments extend around the energy system, energy harvesting, board‐application, design, infrastructure, connectivity, and security components 33‐35,72 …”

Increasing fault tolerance of data plane on the internet of things using the software-defined networks

“…It is estimated that over 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet by 2025 ( Ericsson, 2018 ). In recent years, communication has attracted the attention of many researchers ( Mohd Aman et al, 2020 ). These developments must be considered in-network redesign ( Hakiria et al, 2014 ).…”
