Study Notes

IoT Processing Topologies and Types

  • The internet is a vast space where large quantities and types of data are generated regularly and flow freely.
  • The massive amount of user-generated data is further enhanced by multiple devices used, including non-human sources like sensors.
  • Data types include emails, text documents, social media posts, videos, audio files, and images.
  • Data can be broadly categorized into structured and unstructured types.

Structured Data

  • Structured data are text data with defined structures.
  • They are associated with relational database management systems (RDBMS).
  • Examples include phone numbers, social security numbers, etc., using length-limited data fields.
  • Structured Query Language (SQL) is used to access this data in RDBMS.

Unstructured Data

  • Unstructured data on the internet lacks a defined structure.
  • Data types vary based on applications and sources.
  • Examples include text, emails, videos, images, and phone data.
  • Querying languages like NoSQL are used to access this data type.

Importance of Processing in IoT

  • The vast amount of data flowing through the internet necessitates intelligent and resourceful processing techniques.
  • This is especially crucial due to rapid advancements in IoT, which is placing enormous pressure on existing network infrastructure.
  • Data processing needs to prioritize the urgency, with three categories: very time-critical, time-critical, and normal priority.

Processing Topologies

  • Processing solutions can be divided into two topologies: on-site and off-site.
  • Off-site processing can further be broken down into remote and collaborative processing.

On-site Processing

  • On-site processing handles data directly at the source.
  • Crucial for applications with very low latency tolerances.
  • Latency issues can occur on the processing hardware or network during data transmission.
  • Real-time systems like healthcare and flight control applications require rapid data generation and processing rates.

Off-site Processing

  • Off-site processing handles data away from the source, allowing for latency.
  • Cost-effective for large-scale deployments.
  • Processing is handled by dedicated, high-processing devices that can be leveraged by simpler sensor nodes.
  • Data can be sent to a remote location such as a server or cloud, or processed collaboratively by multiple nodes.

Remote Processing

  • Remote processing involves sending data to a remote server or cloud-based infrastructure for processing and analysis.
  • Cost-effective for massive IoT deployments, enabling reuse of processing resources and simpler processing units situated localistically.
  • Enhances scalability of IoT solutions without significantly affecting deployment cost.

Collaborative Processing

  • Collaborative processing is suitable for scenarios with limited or no network connectivity.
  • Used in large-scale deployments.
  • Optimizes resource use by combining the processing power of nearby sensor nodes.

Offloading Considerations

  • Some crucial parameters to consider are bandwidth (the maximum amount of data transmitted over the network at one time), latency (time delay in processing), criticality (the importance of the data processed), and resources (the capabilities of processing location).
  • Data volume is significant for large-scale IoT deployments.
