IoT Architecture Based on RINA
Maryan Rizinski, John Day, Lou T. Chitkushev · 2020
Interoperability is one of the biggest challenges facing the Internet of Things (IoT). While the emergence of many IoT protocols promises Internet connectivity to a large number of devices, it also leads to an inevitable fragmentation that hinders the IoT adoption. The existing literature focuses on creating device abstractions to deal with the multiplicity of protocols, but little work has been done to eliminate the root cause of fragmentation - the number of protocols itself. This paper proposes a novel approach to simplify IoT by design based on the Recursive InterNetwork Architecture (RINA) and explores RINA's benefits such as reducing protocol complexity, improving standardization, and enhancing security.
