Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) applications are developed and implemented through enlightened communication networks. The phenomena is proving a fact that research in IoT architecture becomes important domain in realizing IoT framework. Therefore, in this paper a new IoT architecture is purposed combining two sophisticated communication networks: power line communication (PLC) and 3G networks. This combination is motivated by scalability advantages of (PLC) and 3G networks. Further, the 3G-PLC networks test bed is constructed and analyzed to show its feasibility in supporting IoT applications.
