Title:IoT Virtualization: A Survey of Software Definition & Function Virtualization Techniques for Internet of Things
View PDFAbstract:Internet of Things (IoT) and Network Softwarization are fast becoming core technologies of information systems and network management for next generation Internet. The deployment and applications of IoT ranges from smart cities to urban computing, and from ubiquitous healthcare to tactile Internet. For this reason the physical infrastructure of heterogeneous network systems has become more complicated, and thus requires efficient and dynamic solutions for management, configuration, and flow scheduling. Network softwarization in the form of Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has been extensively researched for IoT in recent past. In this article we present a systematic and comprehensive review of virtualization techniques explicitly designed for IoT networks. We have classified the literature into software defined networks designed for IoT, function virtualization for IoT networks, and software defined IoT networks. These categories are further divided into works which present architectural, security, and management solutions. In addition, the paper highlights a number of short term and long term research challenges and open issues related to adoption of software defined Internet of things.
