Preface

With the disruptive progress in the field of electronics, ubiquitous wireless networking has become a reality. Smartphones and wireless devices are becoming more of a necessity of our daily routine rather than just a luxurious gadget, as they used to be some years ago. These advances have resulted in a surge in the number of connected smart devices. According to CISCO® report, the number of connected devices has reached more than double the population (2.2×) in 2015 and is predicted to reach more than three times the population (3.4×) by 2020 [1]. The ubiquity of the wireless networking and the abundance of smart devices have led to the invention of the “Internet of Things” concept. The Internet of Things (IoT) ref
