Smart City Based on NDNoT: The Future of IoT

The paper shows the model for Smart City based on Named Data Network (NDN). In country like India an effective model based on NDN like ours will be very useful for managing traffics. Methods/Analysis: NDN is an upcoming technology, which is believed that it will replace Internet. The Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) will exhaust with the growing rate of connected devices. The paper proposes a complete model based on Named Data Networking of Things (NDNoT) expanding the idea of Internet of Things (IoT) for not only managing the traffic but also for helping accidental cases. The model uses sensors to convey information to the cloud server from where it can be distributed to concerned authorities and person using NDN as the infrastructure. The paper covers the whole algorithm for designing the model. Findings: Issues like Security, Congestion, Routing, Reliability and Speed are improved to an extend in NDNoT as compared to the models based on IoT due to its principles of allocations depending on Hierarchal names with signatures. Improvement: The model can be practically implemented using NDN.
