APPLICATIONS OF INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT): A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

Abstract

In order to serve a meaningful purpose, the Internet of Things (IoT) is characterized as a paradigm in which objects equipped with sensors, actuators and processors interact with each other. In this paper, in this new emerging field, we research state-of-the-art methods, protocols, and applications. This study paper proposes a new taxonomy for IoT technologies, highlights some of the most important technologies, and describes some applications that have the potential to make a significant difference in human life, especially for the elderly and the otherwise capable. This paper is much more extensive in its coverage compared to similar survey papers in the field and exhaustively covers most major technologies, ranging from sensors to applications.
