Performance Analysis of End-to-End Sensor-to-Cloud Personal Living Platform.

This paper presents a performance analysis of the end-to-end sensor-to-cloud personal living platform. The analysis is based on a typical architecture starting from a single sensor and actuator and continuing to the virtualized services at smart dust, dew, fog and cloud level. The system is diverse and allows interconnection of different sensors/ actuators technologies directly or throughout gateways. The experiments in a living lab presented use energy harvesters and ZigBee PRO sensors. The results from sensor network are applicable for non-real-time and non-critical data connection. As a final conclusion, we claim that for critical and non-critical measurements that need to be supported in a typical living environment there is a necessity to use different priorities of the services and different sensors as well.
