Internet of things producer mobility management in named data networks: a survey, outlook, and open issues

The rapid and enormous development of smart mobile devices and their high content demands challenges the sustainability of the current internet architecture. The growing trend of smart mobile devices in the mobile environment has led to mobility becoming an increasingly interesting and hotly debated topic. Therefore, this study provides broad discussion on mobility support. It also, describes consumer and producer mobility in internet of things-based wireless body area networks (IoT-WBANs) using named data networks (NDN). NDN is a significant paradigm for data distribution in IoT networks, but it confronts considerable challenges in terms of producer mobility. We discuss in detail producer mobility and classify the producer mobility solutions into different approaches based on their features and functions. Moreover, we constructed a clear research roadmap regarding IoT in NDN and critically reviewed each approach to identify the various research concerns and long-standing challenges. Furthermore, we investigated various challenges in IoT-WBANs caused by producer mobility and suggested intuitive solutions.
