Context-Aware Internet-of-Things Communication via Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Franc Pouhela, Dennis Krummacker, Hans Dieter Schotten · 2025
A major challenge to the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) as we know it, is related to the need of a context-aware communication framework that can dynamically adapt to environments with constantly changing requirements. The paper at hand presents a potential avenue to address this limitation. The study proposes an innovative approach to enable context-awareness in dynamic IoT settings by leveraging the Natural Language Processing (NLP) capabilities of the Large Language Models (LLMs) in conjunction with the Knowledge Graphs (KGs) within a custom Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system to enable real-time understand and processing of the Natural Language (NL) instructions. This approach makes the communication system flexible and holds the potential for future innovations in the realm of IoT technologies.
