Implementation and Performance Testing of ID Layer Nodes for Hierarchized IoT Network

Recent advances in technologies for smart devices are having a significant impact in IoT (Internet of Things) scenarios as, e.g., intelligent buildings. Sensor/actuator networks use small and non-intrusive devices consuming reasonable amount of energy and offering improved performance. On the other hand, highly specialized devices providing high reliability are interconnected by dedicated network infrastructure because of safety reasons. This article discusses early stage of the implementation of an innovative hierarchical network infrastructure for connecting IoT objects and services where the location of the nodes is closely related to the structure of the environment as it occurs in intelligent buildings/enterprises.
