Review on Data Forwarding Model in Internet of Things

With the in-depth researches of new technologies or methods such as 5G, software defined networking (SDN), named data networks (NDN), and mobile edge computing or fog computing, internet of things (IoT) applications get the further sublimation. This environment is a variety of application scenarios, the requirement of high quality of service and the universal participation of objects, in which,data forwarding models based on traditional wireless sensor networks (WSN) that is the subset of IoT cannot fully adapt to this era needs. Therefore, in order to guarantee the successive of IoT services, it is the most basic problem and the research hotspot to develop data forwarding mechanism more suitable for IoT. In this paper, we first analyze the architecture of IoT and the key problems of data forwarding in IoT. Second, we classify and summarize a number of representative studies of data forwarding for IoT. Then, for the chosen typical data forwarding models in different IoT scenarios, this paper respectively analyzes and reviews their mathematic methods, merits and demerits, and compares them in many aspects. Finally, we analyze the research problems in detail and put forward the future development directions. In a word, this study shows that the emergence of the new technologies, such as 5G, brings the opportunities and challenges for the research of data forwarding model in IoT. Thus, the key emphasis in future work will be the theoretical research of the model and method of energy-efficient of data forwarding in IoT, which provides a solid foundation for the practical applications.
