Generic Internet of Things architecture for smart sports

Sports and recreational activities constitute to be one of the most rapidly growing areas of personal and consumer oriented Internet of Things applications. Although few manufacturers have started developing smart sports products, they seem to lack in standardized architectural framework. No standard architecture has yet been devised by any researchers. This literature investigates how sports and recreational activities can be augmented through novel service based on Internet of Things based standard architecture-Internet of Things Sport. Test results validates that the data convergence time is directly proportional to the number of players. Several research challenges towards sports centric Internet of Things have been presented which need to be tackled in future.
