Summary: | Currently the Internet of Things environment suffer from a variety of uniqueproblems such as low throughput, inadequate support for mobility and notcompatible(and often close) application environments. However, characteristicof physical environment often provides opportunities to address these problems.This paper explores concepts of enriching the WNS environment withcontext-based information. By context we consider all data available in sensorsenvironment, not only data processed by them. Currently this data are not utilizedby sensors, but we think that they can improve overall functionality of thesensor network. We also discuss the practical challenges facing the integrationof such an approach into the sensor application stack.
