Providing Trust in Ubiquitous and Pervasive IoT Network

Existence of several application specific network technologies like Sensor Networks, Cloud, Personal Area Networks (WPANs), Vehicular Networks (VANETs), Content Delivery Networks and Wifi operating oblivious to each other in the same ISM band creates numerous problems like contention for the same bandwidth leading to excessive collisions and hence lower throughput. This calls for a hybrid mesh framework that is capable of supporting heterogeneous devices in an IoT paradigm. This work proposes exactly that kind of environment.There are several benefits of deploying a hybrid mesh to bridge numerous types of networks and devices, like availability of more data and in some cases, redundant data leads to high reliability. Further, Co-operative interoperability assures higher throughput and efficiency. In case of universal rich data availability, accurate and situation aware decision modeling is achieved. For example, In case of a vehicular network, accurate driving decisions can be made. Additionally, Higher and reliable data availability leads to detailed knowledge and perception which can be further exploited to ensure high level of Security in the network.
