Abstract
Future IoT is expected to get ubiquitous connection and access in a global scale. In the meantime, with the empowered communications capability for IoT devices, IoT will evolve to be highly autonomous, even under the help from infrastructure, and thus will gradually establish the smart IoT community. One of the major challenges imposed on the smart IoT communities is the socialization of IoT communications, because massive IoT accesses make centralized control very hard and also face the shortage of spectrum resources. Towards these issues, we in this article first present the overview and discussions on social features affecting connections among devices. Then, we motivate studies on the statistical characteristics of social features for connections among devices towards smart IoT. We further propose the queuing model under unified asymptotic analyses framework to characterize the…
