title = "Future of IoT networks: A survey",
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.",

note = "Funding Information: The National Intelligence Council (NIC) of the United States selected IoT as one of six technologies that has potential impacts on national interests through 2025 [31]. Specifically, industry giants such as Cisco and Qualcomm primarily focus on extending the current network infrastructure into the IoT and construct the hyper-connected infrastructure. Further, legacy sensor devices and radio frequency identification (RFID) are based on seamless connection. In terms of the government aspect, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) regards IoT as a basis technology for smart grid implementation. Moreover, the National Science Foundation has selected IoT as one of the technology areas in the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program [32]. Funding Information: Along with the Chinese government, Japan is currently conducting the “i-Japan Strategy 2015” research program as a part of IoT research [36]. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) of Japan created a consortium that is based on mobile carrier service providers and system vendors [37]. The Japanese government is concentrating on remote health-care and earthquake monitoring to enable a secure future digital society. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology ordered the new project, “The Research Project for Information & Communication Technology (ICT) System Architecture in the Era of IoT” [38] to get a foothold in IoT environment. Funding Information: Fortunately, some nations have recognized this problem and proposed novel network architectures [39]. For instance, there are many research projects about the future network architecture under FP7 and Horizon 2020 in the EU. Specifically, the 4WARD and Scalable & Adaptive Internet Solutions (SAIL) project studies the future network architecture. Additionally, Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) is intended to construct the initiative test bed infrastructure for the future Internet technology. In Horizon 2020, FIRE+ [40] is proposed to expand previous FIRE project by enabling experiments in any size, complexity, or networking technology. In addition to the EU, the Future INternet Design (FIND) project had been researched under the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States. Future Internet Architecture (FIA), which is the successor of FIND, has four main research topics to build the Internet architecture: Named Data Networking (NDN), MobilityFirst, NEBULA, and eXpressive Internet Architecture. Along with FIA, NSF sponsors the Global Environment for Network Innovation (GENI) project to construct the test bed environment. Currently, the Future Internet Architecture-Next Phase (FIA-NP) project is in progress to realize the research results of FIA. The overview of the future network architecture projects from the European Union is presented in Table 1, and Table 2 elaborates the research projects in the United States.",
