Study Notes
Prominent IoT Verticals
- Smart cities
- Smart energy
- Smart healthcare
- Smart buildings or homes
- Smart living
- Smart transportation
- Smart industry
Five-Layer Architecture of the IoT
- Perception Layer: Gathers information from sensors and actuators (e.g., temperature, moisture, intruder detection)
- Transport Layer: Transfers sensor data between perception and processing layers using various connectivity technologies (RFID, NFC, LAN, Bluetooth, 3G, 4G, WiFI, infrared)
- Processing Layer: Analyzes and processes data received from the transport layer, potentially using middleware
- Storage Layer: Stores data in different formats according to requirements and needs
- Application Layer: Manages application processes based on information from the middleware layer (e.g., sending emails, activating alarms, device control)
Security Layer
- Offers privacy for data flow through encryption and decryption
- Analyzes time-sensitive data on nearby fog nodes to prevent problems
- Less time-sensitive data is sent to the cloud for historical analysis and storage
Fog Computing
- Decentralized computing architecture that brings cloud computing capabilities to the network's edge
- Aims to improve efficiency, reduce latency, and enhance data processing capabilities
- Uses fog nodes to store, compute, and process data
- Data is analyzed close to the host, improving efficiency and security
- Applicable when only selected data needs to be sent to the cloud, latency needs to be low, and large numbers of services need to be provided across different locations
When to Use Fog Computing
- When only selected data needs to be sent to the cloud.
- When data analysis requires low latency (within a fraction of seconds).
- When a large number of services need to be widely distributed.
- For devices that require rigorous computations and processing.
Fog Computing Applications
- Patient condition monitoring and alerts
- Real-time rail monitoring
- Gas and oil pipeline optimization
Cloud-Based Architecture
- Temporary storage with a small processing unit and some security features
- Serves as the central hub of the cloud environment
Data Layer
- Separates business logic from persistent data to enable multiple use cases
- Use of multiple databases in a microservice architecture to prevent service dependencies
Datacenter Layer
- Manages physical resources (servers, switches, routers, power supplies, cooling systems)
- Provides service availability and resource management for end users
6LoWPAN
- IPv6 protocol for low power personal area networks (WPAN)
- Enables Internet communication for small devices with low processing power
- Combines IPv6 with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for wireless communication
- Uses an adaptation layer between the communication layer and the transport layer
- Allows communication with any IP-based device on the Internet
- Requires a gateway to connect to the internet and supports conversion protocols between IPv4 and IPv6.
Social Internet of Things (SIoT)
- Part of the IoT that enables social interactions between objects and humans
- Uses 6LoWPAN for communication
