In this paper, a new architecture for mobile cloud sensor
applications based on the Internet of Things approach
is presented. The architecture consists of Bluetooth-based
low-power sensor nodes communicating using standardized
protocols and profiles. The use of a user’s mobile phone and
the mobile telephone access network allows true mobility.
Furthermore, the use of CoAP and the Service-oriented
architecture (SOA) paradigm allows a multitude of services
and features to be accessible from the user’s local sensor
cloud as well as on the global Internet. In this architecture,
services executing on sensor nodes, the user’s mobile phone
or pad, or even on the Internet, can collaborate in order to
exchange data and perform distributed processing.
