Network Changes in IoT Era (1)
1. Enormous number of Internet of Things
(up to trillion, limit value in accordance with book J.-B.
Waldner “Nano-computers and swarm intelligence” is 50
trillions)
2. Self-organized architecture
(instead of «heavy» existing networks)
3. Super-dense heterogeneous network
(5G includes mobile and sensor networks, VANET, medicine
networks, etc.)
4. Ultra-low latency networks
(Tactile Internet, some applications of medicine networks)

Network Changes in IoT Era (2)
4. IoT is a new reality and a new trend in ICT market
(Most of applications in near future will be based on IoT
technologies)
5. Flying networks coming soon
(Delay-Tolerant network with many special application)
6. Cloud networks, which became popular world wide, are the
basic tool to control/maintain IoT

IoT Things classification (cost)
In terms of cost IoT are classified as follows:
 cheap
 average
 expensive
 exclusive
Note: the cost of IoT may specify the IoT identifier and
the complexity of the used test suites
6
IoT Things classification (interface)
 interfaces of low-power networks (ZigBee,
6LoWPAN, RPL, Bluetooth)
 interfaces of Wireless LAN (WiFi)
 interfaces of local wireless networks (WiMax)
 interface of cellular networks (3G, 4G, 5G)
 wire interfaces (Ethernet)
7
IoT Things classification (power)
 on basis of processor
microcomputers)
(computers,
 on the basis of microcontroller
 on the basis of microchip (RFID, NFC)
 other without the use of the ADC (SAW)

Secure and trustable IoT identification
procedure
ITU-T SG20 started a new work item Y.IoT-IoD-PT
“Identity of IoT devices based on secure procedures and ensures
privacy and trust of IoT systems” (Jan.2016)
Scope: the methods and scenarios of IoT identification procedure
to be used with simple IoT devices such as RFID, NFC, SAW and
complex IoT devices which are based on the microcontroller or
microprocessor

Testing of IoT identity
ITU-T SG11 started a new work item Q.39_FW_Test_ID_IoT
“The framework of testing of identification systems used in IoT”
(Dec.2015)
Scope: description and test suites of identification procedures
used in Internet of Things according to IoT identification
procedures specified in Y.IoT-IoD-PT

Combating counterfeiting using IoT and DoA
IoT+DoA chain is a good tool to combat counterfeiting:
• IoT interfaces have specific features which are complicated to
duplicate – it allows customer to be sure that the purchased
product which equipped with IoT module is a genuine (not
counterfeit)
• Using Digital Object Architecture (DoA) concept, each product
which equipped with IoT module/interface may have a unique
identity which purchaser of ICT product will be familiar with
Note: The application of IoT identity is not limited to ICT products
and it might be efficiently used in other industries (such as
pharmaceutical, automotive, avionic, etc.)

UAV’s and so on: two much routing protocols.
• The suitability routing protocols selection is
needed.

Conclusion (1)
1. IoT era demands new types of testing, including
interoperability and benchmarking of IoT
2. IoT/DoA can be used for combating
counterfeiting
Note: the relevant works should continue in
SG11
3. The series of ITU-T recommendations on the
remote testing need to be developed
Note: the relevant question is needed in SG11
23
Conclusion (2)
4. The identification procedure is very important and
sensitive issue in terms of customer’s trust.
The series of ITU-T Recommendations on the
identification procedure and testing have to be
developed
Note: the relevant question is needed in SG11
5. As far as a cloud computing is used for managing
IoT solutions, the interoperability is needed. The
series of ITU-T Recommendations on the cloud
interoperability in terms of IoT have to be
developed
Note: the relevant question is needed in SG11

Conclusion (3)
6.
The flying networks are widely used for collecting data.
The series of ITU-T Recommendations on testing of the
flying networks need to be developed
Note: the relevant question is needed in SG11
7.
The augmented reality (AR) plus IoT features will be new
world wide network service in the near future. The
series of ITU-T Recommendations on the AR+IoT testing
need to be developed
Note: the relevant question is needed in SG11
25
Conclusion (4)
8. The network with ultra-low delays and super-dense network
requests the delay estimations in the overload conditions. The
series of ITU-T Recommendations on the benchmarking testing
for ultra-low delays and super-dense networks can be developed
Note: the relevant question on benchmarking needs to be
established in SG11
9. The are too many signaling protocols used in IoT networks. The
choice of the efficient protocol to be used on the particular IoT
solution depends on the various factors. The creation of the ITUT Recommendation which provides the guidelines on using IoT
signaling/routing protocols is needed for the ICT market
