HSIR: hybrid architecture for sensor identification and registration for IoT applications

Internet of things is the backbone of the smart applications, which attracts many types of research on the state-of-the-art network applications. Enormous research on sensor networks left more devices that are sensible in the day-to-day life. Hence, implementing new sensor networks for smart applications is not necessary. Many researchers have accepted and utilized existing networks for their request. In this case, techniques for identifying and registering existing sensible things are on demand. This paper proposed a hybrid framework for sensor identification and registration (HSIR) for new IoT applications. This research proposing HSIR as a framework aimed for user-friendliness in the IoT as well as addressed toward the scalability requirement of IoT applications. This model uses content- and context-based multicast communication instead of broadcast to reduce energy and time consumption in sensor identification. HSIR also proposed a public key to register the new network for application requirements. The behaviour of the proposed model has been assayed in realistic with simulations and proved by comparing other models.
