TITLE

Connectivity and communication in intelligent environnement between objects in an opportunistic network for Internet of things considering the context.

ABSTRACT.

Nowadays the mobile internet has a new concept of communication, called "human to object" or "object to human" communication, in these communications each network object must be identified and localized. Each object will be responsible for generating and receiving traffic, and many times without any human supervision.

In this context, the use of mobile devices of high computational power and various communication interfaces, changes the way the users interact, allowing applications to take advantage of the physical proximity of others to offer services. This diversity of interfaces increases the connectivity of the devices to the environment, but the choice of the best connection is more complex and context-dependent.

To this end, mechanisms should be created to decrease complexity in the interactions and facilitate communication between devices in the intelligent environement from Internet of Things. The developed applications should choose the best connection that fits the traffic used between participants, based on the context considering network metrics as, for example, packet loss, latency and variation of delays and context metrics as, for example, power consumption and data processing.
