Development and trend of IoT identifier technology by Ye TIAN, Jia LIU, Jie SHEN

“…The Internet of things has broken through the traditional human-to-human communication model and introduced the perception of the real world,thereby establishing the communication between things,human being and things,as well as achieving the dynamic acquisition of information,intelligent processing,and seamless interaction and collaborative sharing.The IoT identifier that identifies and distinguishes different target objects is the basis and prerequisite for achieving the above mentioned information communications and various IoT applications.The IoT identifier is used to uniquely identify the physical and logical entities within a certain range,so that the network and application can manage the target objects based on it,and the acquisition,processing,transmission,and exchange of related information is the most important and fundamental resource in IoT Internet of things.Moreover,it is the “identity card” of IoT object.In order to uniquely identify various heterogeneous resources within a certain range,and to obtain and transmit related information based on the control and management of target objects,it is necessary to provide a identification resolution service based on the IoT identifier,and realize different levels of mapping between identifiers.…”
