Proposal for a Feature Automation Solution for an IMS-KMS-IoT Platform based on SDN

Abstract

The concept of the Internet of Things is a paradigm that is gaining more and more ground and soon the number of connected objects will be counted in billions. This will transform our lives and pose new challenges. To meet the challenges of objects several platforms have been proposed by previous work. Some are based on an IMS-IoT platform and others integrate IMS, IoT and SDN technologies. Our article proposes an architecture that integrates SDN into an IMS-IoT platform and the automation of the control layer (IMS-IoT platform) and the transport layer of the functional architecture in order to meet future requirements related to the configuration of these many objects, mobility and diversity of user terminals (smartphone, tablet, computers, etc.). The proposed architecture makes it possible to benefit from all the simplicity and efficiency provided by an SDN network but also the services offered by the IMS-IoT platform.
