Design of a smart gateway solution based on the exploration of specific challenges in IoT

The Internet of Things environment is rising at a staggering rate. Every day, we are observing the appearance of new devices, cameras, smartphones and sensors that are connected to the internet. It is visualized IoT will discover, integrate and make use of such devices and their data in the progress of new services and products that can alter and positively blow our lives. In this survey, the technologies, key concepts and recent developments in IoT are systematically reviewed. Firstly, the concept and various applications of IoT are discussed; then the technologies of IoT are compared with its diverse selected characteristics followed by the discussion on communication features of IoT; subsequently technological challenges in IoT are explored which lead to the thought of discussion on recent perspectives in IoT. Among these perspectives, nowadays, IoT needs a service oriented approach to improve the functionality of device and to provide successful application integration using middleware architecture. Finally, the critical disputes that require addressing by research community are investigated and a solution for these issues is taken in hand by using IoT gateway and a proposal has been made to make the data handling in IoT more efficient.
