Constraints in the IoT: The World in 2020 and Beyond

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT), often referred as the future Internet; is a collection of interconnected devices integrated into the world-wide network that covers almost everything and could be available anywhere. IoT is an emerging technology and aims to play an important role in saving money, conserving energy, eliminating gap and better monitoring for intensive management on a routine basis. On the other hand, it is also facing certain design constraints such as technical challenges, social challenges, compromising privacy and performance tradeoffs. This paper surveys major technical limitations that are hindering the successful deployment of the IoT such as standardization, interoperability, networking issues, addressing and sensing issues, power and storage restrictions, privacy and security, etc. This paper categorizes the existing research on the technical constraints that have been published in the recent years. With this categorization, we aim to provide an easy and concise view of the technical aspects of the IoT. Furthermore, we forecast the changes influenced by the IoT. This paper predicts the future and provides an estimation of the world in year 2020 and beyond.
