智慧聯網的概念起源於1999年，其精神為透過運用無線射頻辨識技術、全球衛星定位系統、掃描儀、紅外線及各種訊息感測裝置進行資訊擷取與交換。在訊息的傳遞與通訊過程中，智慧聯網聚焦於辨識帶有智慧的訊息，並且依據訊息進行後續的服務監控與管理。在智慧聯網中亦涉及到實體的網際網路，這意味者智慧聯網不僅是延伸和拓展網際網路的範疇，並且智慧聯網可建構出現實生活中物件與網際網路通訊的橋梁。並且未來網際網路將匯集各種通訊網路技術，包含標準網路通訊協定，及IoT (Internet of Things)、IoM (Internet of Media)、IoS (Internet of Services)與IoE (Internet of Enterprises)等，使人們可在任何時間(Anytime)、任何地點(Anywhere)與任何裝置(Anything)、任何人(Anyone)進行溝通，並且透過網路(Any Path/Network)取得所需的服務(Any Service)。然而在IoT環境中，大量物件於傳遞訊息過程中，將可能引起影響整體效能的問題，例如無線網路之安全性、服務品質、資源管理、行動通訊電力耗損與高錯誤率等問題。如繼續維持原有運作架構，勢必會影響未來網際網路環境的整體執行效能。在本論文中，分別透過解決中介系統之負載平衡、多點路由傳輸網路與終端裝置之管理控制等議題以滿足未來之需求。

The Internet of Things (IoT), first promulgated in 1999, involves Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), sensors, global positioning systems, scanners and other information sensing devices. IoT depend on identifying intelligent information for Internet-related information exchange and communication, as well as monitoring and managing a network. IoT also involves connecting material objects to the Internet. IoT not only is an extension and expansion of the Internet but also provides clients with goods in response the exchange and communication of information. The next generation of networks will have to support various communication technologies and integrate various authentication methods. Besides the standard internet protocols, such new protocols as IoT, Internet of Media (IoM), Internet of Services (IoS) and Internet of Enterprises (IoE) will be included to enable communication with anyone at anytime anywhere, and for anything. In other words, the IoT approaches offered to the users could receive the required services from various networks. However, in the IoT communication system, the message delivery process with several objects raises problems that affect overall performance, involving for example wireless networking security, service quality, resource management, power loss, high error rates, and other issues. Some novel systems provide smart and convenient services to users with less detrimental effect. Therefore, this study aims to address numerous advanced solutions for balancing loads in middleware, the multi-hop routing of a transmission network, and management control of IoT devices.
