The "Things" in IoT

"Things" refer to any device besides computers, laptops, desktops, servers, or devices without an operating system.
These devices usually incorporate a processor.
Key features include intelligence, computer technology, and internet connectivity.

History of IoT

The term "Internet of Things" was coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999.
RFID technology (Radio-Frequency Identification) was used in places like shopping malls and libraries.

Definition of IoT

IoT is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people
Provided with unique identifiers (UIDs).
Capable of transferring data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
Extends the power of the internet beyond computers and phones to other things, processes and environments.
These "connected" things are used to gather or send information, or both.

The Internet of Things, refers to

An ever-growing network of physical objects with an IP address for internet connectivity.
Communication occurs between these objects and other internet-enabled devices and systems.
A computing concept describing everyday physical objects connected to the internet, and identifying themselves to other devices.

IoT Applications

Smart cities (and regions)
Smart cars (and mobility)
Smart homes and assisted living
Smart industries
Public safety
Energy and environmental protection
Agriculture and tourism

Characteristic of IoT

Dynamic & Self-Adapting (Dynamically adapt, Surveillance Cameras, Taking Actions)
Self-Configuring
Interoperable Communication Protocols
Unique Identity (IP address or URI)
Integrated into Information Network

URI (Uniform Resource Identifier)

URI: A sequence of characters used to identify resources (logical or physical).
URL specifies both the identity and location of a resource (How and Where).
URI is a more comprehensive term covering both URLs (identifying and locating) and URNs (identifying only).
URN focuses only on uniquely identifying a resource, not where it is located or how to access it.

Physical Design of IoT

Connectivity (USB Host, RJ45/Ethernet)
Processor (CPU)
Audio/Video Interfaces (HDMI, 3.5 mm Audio, RCA Video)
Interface (for Sensors, Actuators, etc) (UART, SPI, 12C, CAN)
Memory (NAND/NOR, DDR1/2/3)
Graphics (GPU)
Storage Interfaces (SD, MMC, SDIO)

Physical Design of IoT (continued)

A physical design of an IoT system refers to the individual node devices and their protocols.
Utilized to create functional IoT ecosystem
Each node device can perform tasks like remote sensing, actuation, monitoring.
Node devices build connections, process data, provide interfaces and storage.
Things/Devices in an IoT system, build connections, process data and provide interfaces, and storage. These features enable data analysis by the IoT system and program for better system operation
Used to analyze data from a location, and algorithms used to determine the data.

IoT Devices and Activity

Audio/Video Interface

HDMI and RAC utilize within to capture and record audio-visual (AV) content.
Enables integration of audio and video recording, allowing systems to gather multimedia data for further analysis and solutions.

Root Cause Analysis (RAC)

Root Cause analysis is used to determine the cause of issue within IoT systems.

I/O Interface

These are used to establish communication between sensors, actuators, and IoT devices.
Exchange signals, facilitating data input and output from sensors and actuators.

Storage and Interface

Interface provides efficient storage and retrieval of data, ensuring important information is preserved for later analysis or referencing.

Communication Protocols (UART, SPI, HDMI, I2C)

UART: Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
SPI: Serial Peripheral Interface
HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface
I2C: I2C Bus (Inter-Integrated Circuit)

IoT Protocols (Application, Transport, Network, Link)

IOT Protocols contain 4 layers, (Link, Network, Transport, Application).

Link Layer Protocols

Determines how data is physically sent over the network layer (e.g., copper wire, coaxial cable, radio wave).
IEEE 802.3 - Ethernet (wired connection)
IEEE 802.11 - Wi-Fi
IEEE 802.16 - WiMAX

2G/3G/LTE Mobile Communication

Different generations of mobile communication standards (2G, 3G, 4G LTE)

5.802.15.4 – LR-WPAN

Standards for low rate wireless personal area networks.
Data rates from 40Kb/s to 250Kb/s.

Network Layer Protocols (IPV4, IPV6, 6LoWPAN)

IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) is a popular protocol for communication on the Internet.
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is a network layer protocol, operating with 128-bit addresses.
6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks) encapsulates and compresses IPv6 packets.

Transport Layer Protocols (TCP, UDP)

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is connection-oriented, ensuring data delivery in the order it was sent and handling error checks.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is connectionless, ensuring speed but not guaranteed data delivery.

Application Layer Protocols (HTTP, COAP, WebSocket, MQTT)

HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol): Forms the foundation of the World Wide Web (WWW).
CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol): Used for machine-to-machine (m2m) applications in constrained environments.
WebSocket: Enables two-way communication commonly used by web browsers.
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport): A lightweight messaging protocol, often used in IoT applications based on a publish-subscribe model.

DDS - Data Distribution Service

DDS is a publish-subscribe protocol (different from MQTT)
Broker-less architecture independent from any intermediary system
Provides QOS (Quality of Service) including reliability, fault tolerance.

AMQP - Advance Message Queue Protocol

AMQP (Advance Message Queue Protocol) is used for business messaging.
