| New features like global reachability, mobility and multiple communication models are needed with the development of Internet of Things (IoT). However many approaches have been proposed to build an IoT platform based on IP-overlay architecture, but these solutions inheritly have constraints for new requirements in IP-based architecture.;MobilityFirst, a clean-slate future Internet architecture, was proposed in order to provide new features like global reachability, mobility and diverse communication models, using globally unique identifiers (GUID), global name resolution services (GNRS), etc; however, it is too bulky for computing-constraints and memory-limited devices.;In this paper, we are designing the MobilityFirst Lite (MF-Lite) Over Things architecture, which can run on a computing-limited embedded system for packet dissemination and data gathering. The MF-Lite, over things, protocol supports different communication patterns like unicast and multicast. The sensor motes used with GUID are globally reachable and have seamless connection in sensor-to-sensor and sensor-to-infrastructure. |
