The Internet of Things (IoT) is viewed as the umbrella under which heterogeneous devices are connected to form what is called the network of the future (NoF). In the IoT era, all objects and devices are instrumented, interconnected, and interacted with each other in a smart manner. Those smart Things gather huge amounts of data from the real world and stream them up to the digital services running in the cloud. This paper; however, attempts to demonstrate practically that the Internet of Things is more than just connecting the cyber and physical worlds, but it may also improve the performance of existing systems and applications drastically if its concepts were used efficiently. Many different types of communication systems and networks might benefit from the efficient utilization of IoT concepts, being architectural concepts, communication models, or key IoT-enabling technologies.
