PALESTRA WPEIF – JOEL RODRIGUES

Experimental Approaches in IoT and Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks

Joel Rodrigues
National Institute of Telecommunications (Inatel), Brazil.

Abstract: This keynote addresses a hot and updated topic focusing on Internet of Things (IoT) and vehicular communications, mainly, on Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks (VDTNs). It starts with an introduction to IoT and its typical application scenarios. After, special attention will be given to the Inatel Smart Campus, an open Campus for research on IoT, experiments, and concepts and technology validation. Inatel has sponsored this project, started in August 2016, open for companies’ participation and promoting the academy-enterprise interaction. It is a true living lab for several IoT verticals, including smart cities and smart homes.

VDTNs assume asynchronous, bundle-oriented communication, and a store-carry-and-forward routing paradigm. These networks offer solutions for both rural and urban environments as well as disaster situations. In this Keynote speech, research methods and tools used to demonstrate, evaluate, and validate the proposed approaches are addressed. Special focus are given on modeling and simulation tools, and prototypes, including a laboratory prototype, called VDTN@Lab and a real prototype, created in cooperation with FIAT manufacturer, in Brazil..
