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.

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.
