An Application-Layer Restful Sleepy Nodes Implementation for Internet of Things Systems

Two of the main issues in wireless industrial Internet of Things applications are interoperability and network lifetime. In this work we extend a semantic interoperability platform and introduce an application-layer sleepy nodes protocol that can leverage on information stored in semantic repositories. We propose an integration platform for managing the sleep states and an application layer protocol based upon the Constraint Application Layer protocol. We evaluate our system on windowing based task allocation strategies, aiming for lower overall energy consumption that results in higher network lifetime.
