Abstract:
This research analyzed the challenges and solutions of IoT in Nigerian tertiary institution. IoT is an evolving technology and expected to bring the next phase of revolution in learning by connecting any device anywhere by any available means and by collaborating learners and instructors. The potential of IoT applications is abundant, allowing its users to have real-time feeds from surrounding and distant objects helping in making intelligent decisions. Despite the potential benefits of IoT, there are several challenges that needs to be address for IoT to harvest its potential benefits. This paper discussed recent challenges and proposes some solutions concerning IoT. A systematic review of the latest literature covering IoT and some distinct categories of challenges were extracted including standardization and harmonization, connectivity, power management, security, privacy, evolving scenarios, socio-ethical considerations, network technology, complexity, and rapid evolution. Further, the research discusses the latest solutions evolved ranging from flexible radio standards, wireless sensor networks, wireless battery charging technology, ipv6/6lowpan protocols, privacy broker techniques, flexible IP protocol, to wireless identification and sensing platforms.
