In this article, we describe our view of a tiny-bandwidth mass service (TMS) over future networks.It will accommodate an enormous number of small terminals having very limited functions, such as sensor nodes and RFID (radio-frequency identification) tags, and provide the infrastructure for inter-object communication, real-world event processing, and context-aware networking.We discuss the requirements, technical challenges, and research topics involved in achieving TMS.
