IoT Use Cases Analysis and Possibility of Adopting ICN Technologies for These loT Use Cases

Various Internet of Things (IoT)-related services have been widely discussed. In this situation, IoT use cases for real deployment have been collected, mainly by standardizing bodies. Moreover, various technologies have been proposed for real deployment. It is an important concern that IP and related protocols can be applied to IoT services, especially in communication network technologies, These protocols are the basis of the Internet and have been deployed for most communication network services. This paper surveys and analyzes use cases for IoT services. Then, it discusses possible information centric network (ICN) technologies for IoT services, in collaboration with legacy IP and related protocols. Finally, this paper proposes a new architecture for IoT services, referred to as a “Data Exchange Platform” using ICN over the Internet.
