A Survey - WSN Heterogeneous Architecture Platform for IoT.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm that allows millions of smart devices to be connected to the Internet. Such devices can be sensors/actuators, which are able to operate and transmit data to other systems in an autonomous way. In fact, IoT is about autonomous and heterogeneous devices, data and connectivity. As millions of devices are connected, internet of things will require more improvement in terms of platform deployment. In this context, IoT must coexists with several other paradigms (Cloud-Computing, Big-data, SDN.) in other to satisfy its new features. Next to that, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are one of the most important components in IoT. This paper is the result of a state of the art analysis and performance evaluation of several SDN architectures designed for the Internet of Things platforms. At the end of the paper, we present an overview of our architecture based on SDN and SDR methods for WSN as a part of the Internet of Things.
