    Flashcards

    Request-Response Communication Model

    Involves a client sending requests to a server, and the server responding to those requests. The server processes the requests, retrieves data, prepares the response, and sends it back to the client.

    Publish-Subscribe Communication Model

    A communication model where publishers send data to topics managed by a broker, and consumers subscribe to these topics to receive the data. Publishers are not aware of consumers.

    Push-Pull Communication Model

    A model where producers push data to queues, and consumers pull data from these queues. Producers don't need to know about consumers. Queues act as buffers, decoupling producers and consumers.

    Exclusive Pair Communication Model

    A bidirectional communication model with a persistent connection between client and server. The connection stays open until closed by the client. Both client and server can send messages.

    What is a Level-2 IoT System?

    A system where a single node performs sensing/actuation and local analysis. Data is stored in the cloud, and the application runs in the cloud. Suitable for large data volumes and analysis that can be handled locally, but cloud storage and application are preferred.

    What is a Level-4 IoT System?

    A system with multiple nodes performing local analysis. Data is stored in the cloud, and the application is cloud-based. Includes observer nodes that can subscribe to and receive information from the cloud. Suitable for distributed data collection and analysis with a focus on cloud-based collaboration.

    What are resources in REST APIs?

    REST APIs represent data as discrete resources, which are accessible through unique URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers). Think of a resource as a specific piece of information or an object that can be manipulated. For example, a "/users" resource might represent a list of all users in a system, or a "/users/123" resource might represent a single user with the ID 123.

    How do HTTP methods work in REST APIs?

    REST APIs use standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) like verbs to perform specific actions on resources. GET: Retrieves resource data POST: Creates a new resource PUT: Updates an existing resource DELETE: Removes a resource

    What is statelessness in REST APIs?

    A REST API server doesn't remember past interactions with clients. Each request contains all the necessary information to process it independently. This simplifies scalability and allows for better caching.

    What is a uniform interface in REST APIs?

    REST APIs follow a consistent structure and rules for accessing and manipulating resources. This includes using URLs to identify resources, standardized HTTP methods for actions, and consistent response formats like JSON or XML.

    How are resources represented in REST APIs?

    In REST APIs, resources are represented in various formats, such as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or XML (Extensible Markup Language). This allows different systems to understand and exchange data.

    What are hypermedia links in REST APIs?

    REST API responses can include hypermedia links, which are like pointers to related resources. These links make it easy to navigate and discover other relevant information within the API.

    How do REST APIs handle security and authentication?

    Many REST APIs use authentication mechanisms (like OAuth) and encryption protocols to protect resources and ensure only authorized clients can access them.

    How do WebSocket APIs work?

    WebSockets allow two-way (bi-directional) real-time communication between clients and servers. This is unlike traditional HTTP, which is request-response based. WebSocket APIs establish a persistent connection for constant data flow.

    Study Notes

    IoT Communication Models

    • IoT communication models facilitate data exchange between devices and applications.
    • Various models exist, each with unique characteristics and use cases.

    Request-Response Model

    • Client sends requests to a server.
    • Server processes the request, retrieves resources, prepares response.
    • Server sends the response to the client.
    • This model is suitable for tasks requiring a specific response from a server.

    Publish-Subscribe Model

    • Publishers are the source of data.
    • Publishers send data to topics managed by brokers.
    • Brokers distribute data to subscribed consumers.
    • Consumers receive data related to specific topics.
    • Publishers are unaware of which consumers receive data.
    • This model is ideal for scenarios where many consumers may be interested in specific data.

    Push-Pull Model

    • Producers (publishers) push data to queues.
    • Consumers pull data from queues.
    • Queues act as a buffer to decouple producers and consumers.
    • This model is efficient for scenarios where the rate of data production and consumption are not synchronized.

    Exclusive Pair Model

    • This is a full-duplex, bidirectional communication model.
    • Client and server maintain a persistent connection for continuous communication.
    • Messages can be sent in both directions.
    • This model is employed when constant data exchange between client and server is needed.

    REST-Based Communication APIs

    • REST (Representational State Transfer) is a set of architectural principles used for designing web services and APIs.
    • REST APIs use HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to interact with resources.
    • Resources are identified by unique URLs.
    • The REST model is stateless, each request contains all the necessary information.
    • REST APIs are designed around the concept of resources and how they are represented (e.g., JSON, XML).
    • Enables efficient interaction between systems over the internet.

    WebSocket-Based Communication APIs

    • Provide bidirectional communication between clients and servers.
    • The connection between client and server remains open for persistent communication.
    • Suitable for real-time applications.

    IoT Levels & Deployment Templates

    • IoT systems are comprised of devices, resources, controller services, and more.
    • Different levels of IoT complexity exist.
    • Level-1 involves simple devices and local data analysis.
    • Level-2 involves cloud storage and cloud-based applications.
    • Level-3 systems are suitable for big data and analysis.
    • Level-4 requires multiple nodes and cloud-based observation.
    • Level-5 systems entail multiple end nodes with a coordinator, and Level-6 has a central controller.

    IoT Protocols

    • COAP, MQTT, WebSocket, XMPP, AMQP, DDS, 6LoWPAN, 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE. These protocols are used for various communication tasks within IoT systems. Each protocol has specific characteristics for efficient data exchange.
