    Study Notes

    IoT Architecture

    • IoT architecture consists of devices, network connectivity, and cloud technology enabling communication between devices.
    • This architecture consists of three layers: Perception, Network, and Application.
    • The Perception layer is responsible for collecting data from sensors and devices.
    • The Network layer facilitates connectivity and communication between devices.
    • The Application layer provides the user interface and processes the collected data.

    Sensors

    • Sensors are inexpensive devices with sensing elements that collect data about physical properties and changes in the environment.
    • They can be active or passive, depending on whether they generate their own energy or rely on external sources.
    • Sensors can be intrusive or non-intrusive, depending on their placement within an object or the environment.
    • The perception layer uses various technologies including RFID, GPS, WSN, and NFC to capture data from sensors.

    Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

    • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a low-power version of Bluetooth used in various IoT applications.
    • BLE has low latency, low cost, multi-vendor interoperability, and easy application development.
    • It operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band and defines PHY and MAC layers for wireless networks.
    • It features three unidirectional advertising channels.

    Zigbee Module

    • Zigbee modules are low-power wireless devices used for creating personal area networks.
    • These modules are popular in applications like home automation, medical device data collection, and low-power, low-bandwidth needs.

    Zigbee Network Architecture

    • The Zigbee network architecture consists of four layers: Application, Network, MAC, and Physical.
    • The Application layer is the highest layer and is responsible for manufacturer-defined applications.
    • The Network layer manages mesh networking and acts as an interface between the MAC and Application layers.
    • The MAC layer manages network discovery and handles PAN ID.
    • The Physical layer controls the Zigbee radio, converting data packets into bits for transmission and vice versa.

    Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID)

    • RFID is a wireless communication technology used to automatically identify and track objects using electromagnetic fields.
    • RFID tags consist of a microchip and an antenna, transmitting data to a reader.
    • Readers send radio waves and receive signals from tags via antennas.
    • Passive RFID tags are powered by the reader's waves, while active tags have their own power source.

    Data Flow in RFID

    • Readers emit radio waves that are received by tags.
    • Tags transmit stored data back to the reader.
    • Readers process the data and forward it to a computer system for further processing.

    WiFi

    • WiFi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a technology that enables electronic devices to connect to a wireless LAN using the IEEE 802.11 standards.
    • Devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets can connect to the internet or communicate wirelessly within a specific area.

    6LoWPAN

    • 6LoWPAN stands for "IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks."
    • It is a network protocol that enables small, low-power devices to communicate over IP networks using IPv6 over IEEE 802.15.4 networks.
    • This protocol facilitates IoT connectivity by enabling resource-constrained devices to connect to IP-based networks.

    6LoWPAN Packet Transmission

    • 6LoWPAN encapsulates IPv6 packets into smaller frames for transmission over low-power wireless networks.
    • Header compression reduces packet size, enabling small, low-power devices to send and receive data.

    6LoWPAN Motivation

    • Sensors transmit small amounts of data compared to devices like smartphones and PCs.
    • Sensors often have limited wireless connectivity capabilities.
    • Using IPv6 instead of proprietary protocols offers interoperability and leverages existing internet protocols.

    6LoWPAN Network Architecture

    • The Access Point (AP) acts as an IPv6 router, handling the uplink to the Internet.
    • Multiple devices, such as PCs and servers, can connect to the AP.
    • An edge router connects the 6LoWPAN network to the IPv6 network.

    Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP)

    • CoAP is an application layer protocol designed for resource-constrained devices in the IoT.
    • It uses UDP for communication, providing a lightweight alternative to TCP.
    • CoAP follows the REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture, similar to HTTP.
    • Resources are identified by URIs, and standard methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE are used to interact with them.

    CoAP Message Exchange

    • CoAP operates over UDP, making it suitable for unreliable networks.
    • It uses a two-layer messaging model: fixed-length header followed by options and payload.
    • The message type is determined by the client request (CON, NON, ACK, or RST).

    Extensive Messaging Presence Protocol (XMPP)

    • XMPP enables the transfer of XML elements over networks.
    • It is widely used for instant messaging and is an open-source protocol.
    • XMPP's architecture is based on a client-server model, where clients cannot communicate directly but need an intermediate server for communication.
