Internet of Things architecture challenges: A systematic review

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing trend within many domains, such as automotive, avionics, automation, energy, and health. IoT architecture is the system of numerous elements, including sensors, protocols, actuators, cloud services, and layers. IoT architecture plays an important role to provide desired services. Nowadays, tens of IoT architectures are provided by the research community. Many challenges have been identified by the research community, including interoperability, security and privacy, reliability, energy constraints, scalability, and lack of common standards. However, to provide suitable IoT architecture, the importance and priority of requirements in different scenarios may vary, and requirement analysis should be regarded. To this end, this paper presents a systematic mapping survey to give a review of IoT architecture and provide a structured overview of research trends. Moreover, a technical taxonomy is presented for these challenges according to reviewed studies. This classification model can be used as a guideline for future works.

IoT Technologies for Livestock Management: A Review of Present Status, Opportunities, and Future Trends

“…[ 45,46] The other domain-specific architecture include (but are not limited to this list) that of Internet of vehicle, agriculture, smart city, and manufacturing, etc.…”

“…These architecture provide a solid backbone to deploy intelligent solutions in these domains. [45][46][47] Industrial/ commercial…”

“…The architecture framework assumes the viewpoints of usage, business, function, and implementation [46,47] • Generally: IoT Architectures seeks to shed light on what technology to incorporate into IoT scenarios as the need arises. This can be either bidirectional and/or unidirectional with expanding use to several diverse real-life scenarios.…”

The role of low‐power wide‐area network technologies in Internet of Things: A systematic and comprehensive review

“…It transforms physical things into smart objects and allows them to talk, listen, hear, and act smartly 5,6 . These intelligent things can include anything, such as a person, device, sensor, and any smart object, which are permitted to communicate with each other with or without human interaction 7,8 . Developing IoT applications is affected by various factors, such as the heterogeneity of adopted communication protocols, utilizing multiple programming languages, a lack of general frameworks or guidelines to simplify high‐level implementation and low‐level communication, and the high complexity of distributed computing 9,10 …”

Efficient IoT Data Management for Geological Disasters Based on Big Data-Turbocharged Data Lake Architecture

“…Recently, with the prosperous development of distributed computing techniques, leveraging big data platforms that can assist in ingesting IoT datasets from diverse data sources as well as in accelerating the data processing process becomes vital [12]. Both Hadoop and Spark, two milestones in large-scale distributed computing, have been applied in fast data processing to obtain insights from such a huge volume of IoT datasets [13]. In recent years, a number of representative works that couple IoT data management with big data technologies were conducted.…”
