- Application protocols and wireless communication for IoT: a simulation case study proposalPublication . Novelli, Lucas; Jorge, Luisa; Melo, Paulo; Koscianski, AndreThe current Internet of Things (IoT) solutions require support at different network layers, from higher level applications to lower level media-based support. This paper presents some of the main application requirements for IoT, characterizing architecture, Quality of Service (QoS) features, security mechanisms, discovery service resources and web integration options and the protocols that can be used to provide them (e.g. CoAP, XMPP, DDS, MQTT-SN, AMQP). As examples of lower-level requirements and protocols, several wireless network characteristics (e.g. ZigBee, Z-Wave, BLE, LoRaWAN, SigFox, IEEE 802.11af, NB-IoT) are presented. The variety of possible applications scenarios and the heterogeneity of enabling technologies combined with a large number of sensors and devices, suggests the need for simulation and modeling tactics to describe how the previous requirements can be met. As a potential solution, the creation of simulation models and the usage of the OMNET++ simulation tool to enable meaningful IoT simulation is discussed. The analysis of the behavior of IoT applications is proposed for two use cases: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) for home and industrial automation, and Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks for smart meters, smart buildings, and smart cities.

- Building a test bed for simulation analysis for the internet of thingsPublication . Novelli, Lucas; Jorge, Luísa; Melo, Paulo; Koscianski, AndréThe Internet of Things (IoT) enables the mix between the physical and informational world. Physical objects will be able to see, hear, think together, share information and coordinate decisions, without human interference in a variety of domains. To enable this vision of IoT in large scale is expected of the equipment to be low-cost, mobile, power efficient, computational constrained, and wireless communication enabled. This project performs an extensive overview of the state-of-the-art in communication technologies for IoT, simulation theory and tools. It also describes test bed for IoT simulation and its implementation. The simulation was built with Castalia Simulator (i.e. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) network) and INET framework (i.e. IP network), both extends OMNeT++ features. There are two independent networks that communicate through files and exchange information about source, destination, payload and simulation time. Analyzing the outputs is possible to assure that the routing protocol that is provided in the Castalia Simulator does not provide any advantage in terms of packets loss, packets reception or energy consumption.
