Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) imposes several challenges and opportunities. Most of the existing and ongoing network solutions are limited in scope and technology, ignoring important IoT aspects and using traditional protocols and technologies that are not necessarily suitable for things. The proposal is named the Advanced Network of Things (ANT) which constitutes an alternate solution to provide network enhanced services in IoT. In this paper the ANT model design is presented.
