Study Notes
MQTT Overview
- MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is ideal for constrained networks, focusing on low bandwidth and high latency scenarios.
- MQTT control packet headers are minimized to optimize communication efficiency.
IoT Growth Predictions
- Over 10 billion connected IoT devices today, projected to reach 22 billion by 2025.
History of IoT
- 1970: Concept of connected devices proposed.
- 1990: John Romkey invents an internet-enabled toaster.
- 1995: Siemens launches the first M2M (Machine to Machine) cellular module.
- 1999: Kevin Ashton coins the term "Internet of Things."
- 2004: Term gains recognition in major publications.
- 2005: UN's ITU publishes its first report on IoT.
- 2008: Recognized as a formal concept.
- 2011: Gartner includes IoT technology in market research.
Main Components of IoT
- Sensors/Devices: Collects data like temperature, humidity, and motion.
- Actuators: Perform physical actions based on instructions (e.g., motors and switches).
- Wearable Devices: Include smartwatches and fitness trackers.
- Smart Home Devices: Automate home systems (e.g., thermostats, lighting).
- Industrial IoT Devices: Used for process automation and optimization (e.g., manufacturing equipment).
- Connected Appliances: Devices like refrigerators that enable enhanced functionality via the internet.
- Smart City Infrastructure: Includes smart streetlights, parking sensors, and waste management systems.
- Intelligent Transportation Systems: Devices for managing transportation networks.
- Medical and Healthcare Devices: For remote monitoring and health data tracking.
Embedded Systems in IoT
- Microcontrollers: Core of many IoT devices, enabling data processing and control.
- Communication Modules: Facilitate data transmission via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or cellular networks.
- Gateways: Connect IoT devices to external networks, handling protocol translation and security.
- Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS): Support real-time operations in embedded systems.
MQTT Terminology
- Broker: Manages client connections, receives and distributes topics, and handles Last Will & Testament (LWT) messages.
- Client: Can publish and subscribe to topics, maintain keep-alive time, and use QoS levels.
- QoS Levels:
- Level 0: At most once delivery (unreliable).
- Level 1: At least once delivery (potential duplicates allowed).
- Level 2: Exactly once delivery (acknowledged receipt).
MQTT Data Exchange
- Publishers and subscribers operate independently; brokers manage communications.
- MQTT packets include a fixed header, variable header (if applicable), and payload (up to 256 MB).
- Lightweight header structure aids efficiency in IoT communication.
MQTT Client Development
- Multiple programming languages supported for MQTT clients via open-source libraries.
- Frameworks available for C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, and more.
Introduction to Cloud Computing
- Cloud computing delivers services (storage, processing, applications) over the internet, eliminating the need for local infrastructure.
- Users can access resources on-demand from various cloud service providers.
Cloud Service Providers
- Major players include AWS (Elastic Compute Cloud, Simple Storage Service), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
- Numerous additional providers enhance service availability.
Cloud Deployment Models
- Public Cloud: Services available over public networks. Cost-effective and scalable, ideal for many users.
