Abstract
The Internet of Things is among the most prominent
emerging technologies of today and the future. A lot of
effort has been put into researching and designing small
devices that are able to communicate with the Internet.
More and more new products are coming to the market all
the time. This paper focuses on the IoT connectivity
issues by designing and evaluating an IoT gateway, which
utilizes functionality virtualization techniques. The
role of the gateway is to allow Internet access for end
devices that are not able to implement the full Internet
protocol stack. Gateway functionality virtualization, on
the other hand, makes it easier to make software updates,
run and stop functionalities, and add and remove
features, such as support for a new protocol, on the fly.
The gateway architecture supports edge computing, which
aims to process data at the network edge instead of doing
everything in the cloud. The paper discusses lightweight
virtualization techniques, implementation of gateway
architecture and some of the real usage scenarios.
Finally, the implemented gateway is evaluated in a real
world scenario.
