To preserve the semantics of IoT, and also seamlessly utilize the DTN-based communications an ‘IoT-cum-DTN’ based framework is essential. To the best of our knowledge, such a framework of ‘IoT-cum-DTN’ is not proposed and implemented. To this end, we propose a novel Internet of Hybrid Opportunistic Things framework based on the aforementioned ‘IoT-cum-DTN’ paradigm. The proposed ‘IoT-cumDTN’ architectural framework is shown in Fig. 1. To realize an architecture of the IoT-cum-DTN node proposed in the framework as shown in Fig. 1;
