Supporting IOT Low-Power Embedded Devices with Smart Gateway: Proof of Concept and Implementation

Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that depends on enabling a variety of things existing in the environment to interact with each other and cooperate with other objects through wireless and wired connections and unique addressing schemes to create new applications and reach common goals. Internet of Things (IoT) is considered as a promising technology that can provide a boom of reforms, including the combination of wireless communication technologies, embedded systems, mobile applications and cloud technology. Most of the IOT technologies that have emerged recently, concentrate on a single intelligent product rather than the integration of the different IoT network components. There is a huge need nowadays to integrate all these technologies together in an internet connected world. In this paper, we focus on providing IoT-based devices with important communication services. These IoT-based devices represent a smart home scenario, along with embedded appliances, mobile devices and centralized home gateway.
