Mobile sensing and Internet of Things: A survey

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rising rapidly and its interconnection with mobile devices or Web is increasing. Mobile devices connected with sensors provide more developed services, enhance the user knowledge, experience, awareness and encourage better living. This paper is a survey paper which provides various applications or field of mobile sensing when combined with IoT or Web technology. The study has been done over 60–70 papers, which comprised of most relevant information in the domain, categorize these papers into eight different categories based on their area of application (health, transportation, games & sports, and agriculture), the nature of interface (crowd sensing, feedback, control). The challenges and problems have been analysed and discussed. Finally, suggestions were provided to enhance the use of mobile sensing in various fields.
