Internet of Things: Technology, Applications and Standardardization

The term "Internet of Things" (IoT) refers to an ecosystem of interconnected physical objects and devices that are accessible through the Internet and can communicate with each other. The main strength of the IoT vision is the high impact it has created and will continue to do so on several aspects of the everyday life and behavior of its potential users. This book presents some of the state-of-the-art research work in the field of the IoT, especially on the issues of communication protocols, interoperability of protocols and semantics, trust security and privacy issues, reference architecture design, and standardization. It will be a valuable source of knowledge for researchers, engineers, practitioners, and graduate and doctoral students who are working in various fields of the IoT. It will also be useful for faculty members of graduate schools and universities.

Stochastic-Geometry Based Characterization of Aggregate Interference in TVWS Cognitive Radio Networks

In this paper, we characterize the worst-case interference for a finite-area TV white space heterogeneous network using the tools of stochastic geometry. We derive closed-form expressions on the probability distribution function (PDF) and an average value of the aggregate interference for various values of path loss exponent. The proposed characterization of the interference is simple and can be used in improving the spectrum access techniques. Using the derived PDF, we demonstrate the performance gain in the spectrum detection of an eigenvalue-based detector for cognitive radio networks.
