“…A unifying architecture that can support heterogeneity of networking protocols, interoperability among network protocols and the devices is needed to enable the IoT network [86]. In [58], the authors proposed six layers for the IoT network, which are listed as follows : physical layer, link layer, ID layer, network layer, end-to-end layer, and data layer.…”

Abstract:The introduction of mobile devices has changed our daily lives. They enable users to obtain information even in a nomadic environment and provide information without limitations. A decade after the introduction of this technology, we are now facing the next innovation that will change our daily lives. With the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT), our communication ability will not be restricted to only mobile devices. Rather, it will expand to all things with which we coexist. Many studies have discussed IoT-related services and platforms. However, there are only limited discussions about the IoT network. In this paper, we will thoroughly analyze the technical details about the IoT network. Based on our survey of papers, we will provide insight about the future IoT network and the crucial components that will enable it.

“…Very recently, smartphones are playing an increasingly important role in modern computing architecture thanks to their mass distribution and the increasing computing resources. They are often used as mobile IoT gateways [3] or to support heterogeneous wireless sensor networks integration [4], but in our opinion, each personal mobile device (i.e. smartphone, smartwatch) can play a central role also in Edge computing architecture.…”

Edge computing paradigm has attracted many interests in the last few years as a valid alternative to the standard Cloud-based approaches to reduce the interaction timing and the huge amount of data coming from IoT devices toward the Internet. In the next future, Edge-based approaches will be essential to support time-dependent applications in the Industry 4.0 context; thus, the paper proposes BodyEdge, a novel architecture well suited for human-centric applications, in the context of the emerging healthcare industry. It consists of a tiny mobile client module and a performing Edge gateway supporting multi-radio and multi-technology communication to collect and locally process data coming from different scenarios; moreover, it also exploits the facilities made available from both private and public Cloud platforms to guarantee a high flexibility, robustness and adaptive service level. The advantages of the designed software platform have been evaluated in terms of reduced transmitted data and processing time through a real implementation on different hardware platforms. The conducted study also highlighted the network conditions (data load and processing delay) in which BodyEdge is a valid and inexpensive solution for healthcare application scenarios.

In this review, we explore the potential of smartphone‐based applications based on their unique ability to support portable, easy‐to‐use, precise, and efficient functions, which, in turn, makes lab‐on‐hardware a trending area of novel research. Smartphones can assist surgeons, physicians, biologists, chemists, ophthalmologists, and laboratory technicians in maintaining an easy‐to‐use, cost‐effective, and integrated environment for treatment, diagnosis, and point‐of‐care (POC) applications. These POC applications can improve patients' quality of life, offering patients a precise diagnosis and the correct treatment. This is a noble goal that aims to reduce costs and to increase the accuracy of sample testing, treatment, and diagnosis. Recent innovations have made major advances in smartphone adapters, providing portability, robustness, self‐powered devices, small‐sized adapters, and ease of usage. Lab‐on‐hardware is a progressing field, and smartphone imaging applications are increasingly expanding, resulting in POC applications with the latest and most advanced image analysis, enhancement, recognition, and other image processing techniques. The most recent studies in the field are explored to provide a solid background to interested researchers against which they can choose of application and/or adapter design they aim to develop, with a discussion of the methods reviewed here.
