Abstract

Everybody’s everyday life is surrounded by objects (devices) having wireless and computational capabilities. These devices are resource-constrained like actuators and sensors responsible for enabling their connection to the Internet. The Internet of things (IoT) is generally a computing model and serves as a key element for the development of smart applications used in distinct areas. The present ecosystem of IoT devices provides many use cases and other side communication solutions. These devices have distinct performance traits. However, the major challenge in the present scenario is the identification of suitable communication solution(s) with respect to IoT for a smart application. This paper focuses on different requirements of smart applications environments like smart cities, smart homes, smart health, smart factories, smart grids, smart retail, smart vehicles, and smart agriculture and tried to relate these with IoT solutions. The major characteristics are described of these smart applications (environments) along with their relevant IoT communication technologies. The challenges are described while implementing smart solutions using IoT that remain open for further research. The researcher would be able to understand the applicability of IoT in a real scenario.
