Name-based geographical routing/forwarding support for location-based IoT services

摘要

Internet of Things (IoT) devices deployed everywhere are expected as potential data sources for various location-based services. This paper designs an anonymous geographical routing/forwarding mechanism to support location-based IoT services, where users collect data pieces from IoT devices by specifying their locations rather than their names/addresses. A key idea of the routing/forwarding mechanism is enabling users to collect location-dependent data without locations of users' interest being leaked.
