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.
