Resource Optimization of wireless access networks, software defined networks and cloud computing for the Internet of Things

下一代互联网，通常被称为物联网（IoT），有可能显著改善我们的日常生活。物联网将通过基于移动的机器对机器（M2M）通信实现异构智能对象的全球互联。智能对象列表包括智能手机，智能汽车，家庭和城市，物联网预计将在交通，医疗保健，智能环境（家庭，办公室，工厂）和社交网络中找到应用。物联网在连接设备数量的规模、通信、鲁棒性、安全性和大数据方面提出了许多新的挑战。预计在物联网中部署的设备数量将达到数万亿。大多数要连接的移动设备的处理能力、存储空间和电池寿命都有限。云计算将提供移动设备所需的额外计算能力和存储。大量的原始数据将通过实时传感器不断收集，并存储在云中进行分析和推理，从而创造新的知识。

Next generation Internet, commonly referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT), has the potential to improve our daily lives significantly. The IoT will allow global interconnection of heterogeneous smart objects through mobile-based machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. The list of smart objects includes smartphones, smart cars, homes and cities and IoT is expected to find applications in transportation, healthcare, smart environment (home, office, plant) and social networks. IoT presents many new challenges in the scale of the number of devices to be connected, communications, robustness, security and big data. It is expected that the number of devices to be deployed in IoT to reach trillions. Most of the mobile devices to be connected have limited processing power, storage and battery life. Cloud computing will provide the additional computing power and storage needed by mobile devices. Large amount of raw data will be continuously collected through real-time sensors and stored in clouds for analysis and inference, which will create new knowledge.
