Study Notes
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT is a network of physical objects embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity
- IoT enables these objects to collect and exchange data
- IoT is an ecosystem of connected physical objects accessible via the internet
- IoT allows remote sensing and control across existing network infrastructure
- IoT leads to better integration between physical and computer-based systems which in turn improves efficiency, accuracy, and economic benefit
Characteristics of IoT
- Connectivity: IoT devices need to be connected to an infrastructure. Without connectivity, they are useless.
- Intelligence: Extracting knowledge from generated data, properly interpreting sensor data is key
- Scalability: The number of connected IoT devices increases constantly. The system must be able to handle massive growth.
Unique Identity
- Each IoT device has a unique IP address for tracking and querying its status
Dynamic and Self-Adapting
- IoT devices should adapt to changing environments; for example, a surveillance camera needs to function in different light conditions (morning, afternoon, night).
Architecture
- IoT architecture needs to be heterogeneous to support different product manufacturers
- A heterogeneous architecture is needed to support different product manufacturers working with the IoT
Safety
- The interconnected nature of IoT devices poses security risks. Data can be tampered with if proper safety measures are not in place
Physical and Logical Design of IoT
- Physical Design: Detailed, graphical, specific solutions outlining assembly/configuration
- Logical Design: High-level, textual or graphical with no detail; focuses on design factors (risks, requirements, constraints, assumptions)
Physical Design of IoT
- A physical design describes individual devices and their protocols forming a functional IoT-ecosystem
- Devices such as sensors, actuators, and their connections are described.
Things/Devices in IoT
- Things/devices in an IoT system build connections, process data, provide interfaces, storage and graphical interfaces
- An analytical system uses the data from devices to improve the system
IoT Protocols
- Protocols establish communication between node devices and servers over the internet to send commands and receive data.
- These protocols operate on network layers (application, transport, network and link layer).
Application Layer Protocols
- Protocols define how data is sent over network using application interface
- Protocols include HTTP, WebSocket, XMPP, MQTT, DDS, and AMQP.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
- A protocol used for communication between web browsers and servers for transmitting media documents
- It's a stateless protocol, where the server does not retain data between requests.
WebSocket
- Enables two-way communication between a client (e.g., web browser) and a host that can run on untrusted code in a controlled environment.
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport)
- A machine-to-machine protocol based on publish/subscribe
- Uses a central broker to route messages from publishers to subscribers
Transport Layer
- Controls data segment flow and handles error control
- Provides end-to-end message transfer independent of underlying network
- Protocols include TCP and UDP.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
- Defines how to establish and maintain network communication in proper manner using internet protocol; used in WWW, Email, Streaming media
UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
- A connectionless protocol; does not require a connection to transfer data, used in DNS Queries, Online Gaming
Network Layer
- Sends datagrams from one network to another
- Uses IPv4 and IPv6 for host identification
- IPv4 is a 32-bit protocol address assigned to devices on a network; Used to identify host and location
- IPv6 is a successor to IPv4, using 128-bit addresses to overcome limitations of older standard.
Link Layer
- Determines how data packets are coded and signaled.
- Defines technologies and protocols primarily used in LANs.
- Two important aspects of link layer are Ethernet and WiFi
Network Protocol Layers
(Layered model showing order of operations in network communication)
Logical Design of IoT
- A logical design for an IoT system focuses on the structural arrangement of components (computers, sensors, and actuators) to fulfill a specific function
- It doesn't delve into low-level programming specifics
Device
- Components of IoT systems that provide sensing, actuation, monitoring and control functions
- Sensors collect data from the surroundings, actuators affect physical processes
- An entry point or gateway for input to the IoT system
Communication
- Processes are in charge of handling communications amongst IoT-system devices
Service
- Provides various functions for device monitoring, device control, data publishing, and device discovery
Management
- Block in charge for overseeing overall operation of IoT system, configuration, firmware updates, and system monitoring
Security
- Takes care of functionalities like authentication, authorization, message and content integrity, data security
Application
- Interface for users to control and monitor various aspects using processed data
- Can provide function/service insights. For example, analyze energy usage in a building or adjust greenhouse temperature
IoT Functional Block Advantages
- Scalability: Easily add new components as needed to adapt to changes in business or technological needs
- Interoperability: Products from multiple suppliers integrate seamlessly, reducing integration costs
- Modularity: Components are interchangeable, adaptable, and easily swapped.
- Flexibility: Flexible deployment choices- on-premise, cloud or hybrid
IoT Communication Models
- Request-response: Client requests data from server, server returns a response
- Publisher-subscriber: Publishers send data to a topic managed by a broker, which routes data to subscribers, without requiring the publisher to know about the subscribers.
- Push-pull: Publishers push data into queues and consumers pull data out of those queues, acting as a buffer for communication timing mismatches.
- Exclusive Pair: Bi-directional communication between client and server; connection established and remains open until closure request.
IoT Communication APIs
- REST (Representational State Transfer): A set of architectural principles for designing web services and web APIs that focuses on resources and how their states are addressed/transferred
- Follows request-response communication model for components, connectors and data in a distributed hypermedia system
- Web Socket: Allows bidirectional, full-duplex communication between clients and servers. Does not require a new connection for each communication
- Useful for low-latency/high-throughput applications
IoT Enabling Technologies
- Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN): Distributed devices with sensors for environmental or physical condition monitoring
- Cloud Computing: Accessing applications and resources over the internet from remote locations
- IaaS: Infrastructure as a service, providing access to servers, storage, and networking resources. (e.g., web hosting, virtual machines)
- PaaS: Platform as a service, providing a platform to develop, run, and manage web applications. (e.g., App Cloud, Google app engine)
- SaaS: Software as a service, delivery of applications over the internet (e.g., Google Docs, Gmail)
- Big Data Analytics: Method for studying massive volumes of data from various sources (e.g., social media, sensor data, transactions)
- Communication Protocols: The backbone allowing network connectivity and linking applications (e.g., data encoding, addressing schemes)
- Embedded Systems: Combination of hardware and software for specific tasks like collecting data and sending it to the internet (e.g., digital cameras, industrial robots, wireless routers,)
IoT Levels and Deployment Templates
- Level 1: Single node (device) performing sensing/actuation, data analysis, and application hosting.
- Level 2: Single node (device) for sensing/actuation and local analysis; data and applications established in cloud.
- Level 3: Single node; data and applications in the cloud and suitable for big data, computationally intensive analysis
- Level 4: Multiple nodes performing local analysis; a cloud-based application- and-database system
- Level 5: Multiple end nodes and one coordinator node; data to the cloud via a coordinator node and suitable for big data, computations intensive applications
- Level 6: Multiple independent nodes, cloud-based analytics components, and central control; used in sensing-and-actuation applications that require cloud storage and analysis.
