Fundamental Issues of Future Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) revolutionizes our daily life by incorporating the Internet and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) together. IoT provides us healthier, comfortable, and easy life than before. Due to these reasons, IoT is now becoming the center of attraction for not only the research community but also for marketers and business owners. Due to its expected massive contribution in the future industry and academia, a lot of research has been made on this topic that discussed its different applications and future research direction. Still, none of the research paper raised its fundamental issues. These issues have significant importance while transferring this concept to reality. We will not be able to delve correctly into this phenomenon without considering its main contributors, Internet, and WSN. This paper mainly focusses on the fundamental issues of IoT by considering the differences between the Internet and WSN with IoT. The identified differences can be viewed as future research directions to bridge the gap between the IoT concept and its implementation in real-world scenarios. In this way, we will be able to deploy the IoT for the betterment of human beings successfully.
