Context and Area of Work
---
The InfoCent-IoT project (https://www.it.pt/Projects/Index/4559) aims to design an ICN architecture for IoT infrastructures taking advantage of mobility prediction information. It will propose an ICN architecture specially designed for IoT platforms, focusing on the characterization and analysis of mobility prediction algorithms, which will be considered to parameterize the ICN system, having a direct impact on naming, routing, forwarding and in-network caching strategies. This will provide innovative naming, forwarding, routing and caching strategies covering the specifications of IoT scenarios and particularly tailored to support node’s mobility. This will then be implemented in a prototype and evaluated in different real scenarios.
