A Survey on Internet of Things – Architecture, Applications, and Future Trends

Abstract

Internet of things can be defined as things which are belonging to the internet. IOT is actually merging of internet with RFID’s, various sensors (like ambient, wearable) and smart objects (things) around us. Day by day billions of devices are expected to join the internet and acquire the state of `being connected’, which will process the data collected from different sensors and hence transmit the information collected so as to make meaningful decisions from them. In the upcoming years, IOT is expected to become main hub between technologies. IoT is the now a days has become a blessing but still is lacking due to many challenges. This paper presents an introduction on internet of things and discusses on the architecture, various application areas of it.
