Recently, interest in IoT(Internet of Things) technology, which provides Internet services to objects, is increasing. IoT offers a variety of services in home networks, healthcare, and disaster alerts. IoT with LLN(Low Power & Lossy Networks) feature frequently loses sensor node. RPL, the standard routing protocol of IoT, performs global repair when data loss occurs in a sensor node. However, frequent loss of sensor nodes due to lower sensor nodes causes network performance degradation due to frequent full path reset. In this paper, we propose an additional selection method of the storage mode sensor node to solve the network degradation problem due to the frequent path resetting problem even after selecting the storage mode sensor node, and propose a method of equalizing the total path resetting number of each instance.

Internet of Things(IoT) using a variety of technologies in combination provides a convenient, elevated range of services to users. IoT has been noted in combining the fields of medical service in particular. However, with the advent and growing of IoT, the more medical services are evolving, security problems caused by leakage of personal health information will become more serious. U-Health and medical devices, which deal mainly the personal health information, is required to a high level of privacy and security of health information. Therefore, the introduction of the IoT in the healthcare industry requires the medical information security as a prerequisite. This study analyzes security status and trend of IoT, personal medical information leakage cases, the health information protection measures in accordance with the life cycle of medical information, and the standardized protection technologies.

Fast decision support systems and accurate diagnosis have become significant in the rapidly growing healthcare sector. As the number of disparate medical IoT devices connected to the human body rises, fast and interrelated healthcare data retrieval gets harder and harder. One of the most important requirements for the Healthcare Internet of Things (HIoT) is semantic interoperability. The state-of-the-art HIoT systems have problems with bandwidth and latency. An extension of cloud computing called fog computing not only solves the latency problem but also provides other benefits including resource mobility and on-demand scalability. The recommended approach helps to lower latency and network bandwidth consumption in a system that provides semantic interoperability in healthcare organizations. To evaluate the system's language processing performance, we simulated it in three different contexts. 1. Polysemy resolution system 2. System for hyponymy-hypernymy resolution with polysemy 3. System for resolving polysemy, hypernymy, hyponymy, meronymy, and holonymy. In comparison to the other two systems, the third system has lower latency and network usage. The proposed framework can reduce the computation overhead of heterogeneous healthcare data. The simulation results show that fog computing can reduce delay, network usage, and energy consumption.

The medical environment, combined with IT technology, is changing the paradigm for medical services from treatment to prevention. In particular, as ICT convergence digital healthcare technology is applied to hospital medical systems, infrastructure technologies such as big data, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence are being used in conjunction with the cloud. In particular, as medical services are used with IT devices, the quality of medical services is increasingly improving to make them easier for users to access. Medical institutions seeking to incorporate IoT services into cloud health care environment services are trying to reduce hospital operating costs and improve service quality, but have not yet been fully supported. In this paper, a patient information collection model from hospital IoT system, which has established a cloud environment, is proposed. The proposed model prevents third parties from illegally eavesdropping and interfering with patients' biometric information through IoT devices attached to the patient's body at hospitals in cloud environments that have established hospital IoT systems. The proposed model allows clinicians to analyze patients' disease information so that they can collect and treat diseases associated with their eating habits through IoT devices. The analyzed disease information minimizes hospital work to facilitate the handling of prescriptions and care according to the patient's degree of illness.

From the last past decade, the Internet of Thing (IoT) area has attracted a lot of attention from researchers. It is said to be a promising technology with great impact in people life, since it redefines the relationship objects have with Human and between themselves. It allows objects to gather data from the real world and communicate with others through the internet. This enabled many opportunities for service providers, companies, factories, environmental monitoring, healthcare, smart cities, and soon. Therefore, today, IoT is densely used in various domains of life, and knows an exponential growth. However, although many advancements have been achieved, several challenges keep causing issues and still need to be overcome. This paper gives an overview on the current trend issues in IoT on which researchers are focusing. It's also explores different proposed frameworks to allow the application of cognitive computing as an integrated process of an Internet of things (IoT) systems, to bring a great advanced in the way machine may communicate with human and their surroundings. This is known as cognitive IoT (CIoT), which allows machines to produce a human-like behavior, then providing enhanced level of capabilities to IoT.

Healthcare services can be provided through a number of independent service platforms for measurement of vital signs, diagnosis and prevention of diseases, and Information and communication technology(ICT) such as internet and mobile are converged to provide health information to users at anytime and anywhere, and it is in the center of the IoT(Internet of things). Accordingly, in this paper, we designed IoT based urination management system and evaluate the performance. A low - power Zigbee network was constructed for the configuration of the urination management system. The implemented capacitive diaper sensor was operable for the duration of 2,000 hours. We also built a database server using Raspberry Pi, a tiny embedded device, and stored the collected data to verify the data through an Android-based mobile application. The proposed urination management system can be utilized not only for the older patients, but also for the infants.
