Phase I: ICN-IoT Architecture
IoT Architectural Requirements Naming Device centric, persistent against mobility/contextual changes Scalability Scale to billions on devices, name/locator split, local/global services, resolution infrastructure, efficient context update Resource Constraints Compute/Storage/Bandwidth constrains, protocols being application/context aware, infrastructure support (edge computing, polling on demand) Traffic Characteristics Separate local versus wide area traffic based on application logic ; many-tomany (multicasting/anycasting) Contextual Communication Key to create several meaningful IoT services Handling Mobility Fundamental Design Criteria
IoT Architectural Requirements Storage and Caching Leverage caching as much as possible while being sensitive to application/service producer requirements Security and Privacy Takes precedence over any communication paradigm (ICN or not) Communication Reliability Application centric (e.g. Health) Self-Organization Ability to self-organize in ad-hoc/infrastructure setting to discover resources (services/content/users/devices) and Communicate. Ad hoc and Infrastructure Mode Seamless transitions between the two worlds, user/application driven.
Legacy IoT systems Silo IoT Architecture: (Fragmented, Proprietary), e.g. DF-1, MelsecNet, Honeywell SDS, BACnet, etc Fundamental Issues : Co-existence, Inter-operability, Service level interaction A small set of pre-designated applications. Moving towards Internet based service connectivity (ETSI, One M2M Standards). Vertically Integrated

State of the Art Weaknesses of the Overlay-based Approach Naming: Resources visible at Layer 7 Mobility : Inherited by IP based communication Scalability: Merges control + forwarding path in central servers (bottleneck) Resource constraints : Network insensitive to device constraints. Traffic Characteristics : Overlaid support for Multicasting (in-efficient & complexity)

Device Discovery-NDN Devices come pre-configured with 1) an NDN name following the well-knows convention for device discovery 2) A manufacturer-assigned public key with the key finger print like today s serial number 3) A shared secret that will be used to authorize initial configuration
Device Discovery-NDN Device bootstrap by registering names of a known form out of the box : /ndn/lighting/devices/<manufacturer>/<type_components>/<serial> Ex. /ndn/lighting/devices/philips/colorblast/00-16-eb-05-fb-48 The Configuration Manager periodically express discovery interests on a broadcast channel to which the devices are connected using a known convention: /ndn/lighting Using an authenticated interest application-specific names are then assigned by the CM, which authenticates with the fixture via a shared secret passed out-ofband : /<root>/<building>/<room>/<lights>/<fixture_path> /ndn/ucla.edu/melnitz/1471/lights/west_wall/wash_down
