to almost 10 billion devices in 2020 (www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/3008917). These connected devices form the so-called Inter-net of Things (IoT). Although the IoT enables new opportunities in different industries and application areas, its potential benefits are only realizable once impor-tant research

They are increasingly inclusive, bridging from one another, from network TV to cable TV or satellite TV, radio, VCR, video, portable devices, and the Internet. The whole set is coming

there is no place any intrusion into their lives, and mobility for all the devices attached to the user; thereby users can be always connected. IPv6 features are what have made possible to think about to connect all the objects that surround us to Internet, the so-called Internet of things (IoT). The objective

Thanks to the stunning progress in the field of embedded devices, physical objects such as home appliances, industrial machines and wireless sensor and actuator networks can now embed powerful computers that can connect to the Internet from anywhere.

Internet services are gradually expanding to mobile devices. This is driven by the evolution towards Internet-based mobile networks (i.e. the ongoing mobile broadband diffusion), compelling value already embedded in existing Internet services (e.g. instant messaging networks and communities around

This thesis presents CraneTracker, a multi-modal sensing and communication system for monitoring migratory species at the continental level. By exploiting the robust and extensive cellular infrastructure across the continent, traditional mobile wireless sensor networks can be extended to enable

Abstract—Traffic carried by mobile networks doubles per year, resulting in congestion and high cost for network upgrades. With the widespread integration of sensing devices with the Internet—in the so-called “Internet of Things”—infrastructure-based networks are becoming an increasingly expensive

and in the provision of services. However, despite the existence of WAP 5 , most access to the Internet is still through either fixed lines or wireless Wi-Fi hotspots. In the future, handheld mobile devices connected to telecommunications networks are predicted to become a critical way to gain access to the increasing

Wireless networks have become an epitome of revolution in the communication industry as these have enabled the devices to communicate and access information independent of their location. These networks can be classified into two categories: Infrastructure based and Infrastructure less. Mobile ad

In this paper, we investigate the mobility issues in UCN systems. We discuss traditional mobility problems
