Abstract
Internet of Things is an emerging area and it visions an inter-connected world full of physical as well as virtual objects, devices, processes and services capable of providing a different lens on how to link them via the Internet. While Internet of Things as part of the Future Internet has been described as a paradigm that mainly integrates and enables several technologies and communication solutions a notable interest is to define how current standard communication protocols could support the realization of the vision. Within this context, we offer a state-of-the-art review on ad hoc and wireless sensor networks, near field communications, radio frequency identification and routing protocols as a mean to describe their applicability towards an Internet of Things realization. We conclude by presenting a brief case scenario to describe a future smart environment and illustrate its possible model architecture.
