Effective Data Transfer Method Using Local Network in Building IoT Environments

Abstract

A range of studies regarding the development of basic technologies for IoT in buildings are under way because the use of cloud services with this type of system is being more widely applied. If the IoT environment in a building is established using an existing cloud service, the client has to receive data from the cloud through a wide area network (WAN). Focusing on the fact that sensor data can be received directly from the hub through a local area network (LAN), this study proposes a method applying a WAN and LAN in parallel. This new approach is expected to increase the data reception speed on the client’s end in the IoT environment found in buildings. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
