On Networking of Internet of Things: Explorations and Challenges

Internet of Things (IoT), as the trend of future networks, begins to be used in many aspects of daily life. It is of great significance to recognize the networking problem behind developing IoT. In this paper, we first analyze and point out the key problem of IoT from the perspective of networking: how to interconnect large-scale heterogeneous network elements and exchange data efficiently. Combining our on-going works, we present some research progresses on three main aspects: 1) the basic model of IoT architecture; 2) the internetworking model; and 3) the sensor-networking mode. Finally, we discuss two remaining challenges in this area.
