A Study on Telecommunication Network, Internet, and Internet of Things

This paper elaborates on the history of the telecommunication networks, the Internet, and the Internet of Things, as well as their protocols and other characteristics. In addition, the connection between these three types of networks and the trend of their subsequent development are discussed. Most importantly, we have analyzed in depth the underlying principles of the development of the three networks, such as the social needs, the system architecture, and the network operation. This paper is the results of our pondering on the future and we hope the insights would turn out to be useful for other researchers.
