CPSRC's research in IoT converges on novel approaches to the development of new concepts, algorithms, protocols, sensors, hardware and software required to enable IoT deployments that minimize energy consumption, provide security and privacy to end users and applications, and scale by orders of magnitude from what is viable today. In particular, IoT research within the CPSRC at UC Santa Cruz includes the design of algorithms and protocols to enforce data security from unsecured devices; the application of machine learning to make IoT protocol stacks far more efficient and resilient; novel approaches to channel access and routing that minimize multiple access interference, energy consumption, and signaling overhead; cross-layering techniques that simplify the design and implementation of IoT devices; algorithms and protocols for end- to-end data transport that eliminate many of the connection-oriented approach adopted today in the Internet; and resource discovery mechanisms that work in large-scaled deployments. In addition, CPSRC’s work in mobile computing, cloud computing, inter-networking, and robotic systems has direct application to the many challenges faced in real-world IoT deployments.
