Study Notes
Ubiquitous Computing Overview
- Ubiquitous computing features real-life objects that can sense, communicate, analyze, and act based on situational data.
- Key enablers include miniaturization, portability, ubiquitous connectivity, integration of diverse devices, and digital ecosystems like cloud computing.
Internet of Things (IoT) Functional View
- Five stages of the IoT information value loop:
- Create: Sensors responsible for data generation.
- Communicate: Networks facilitate data transmission.
- Aggregate: Integration standards support data interoperability.
- Analyze: Augmented intelligence tools provide insights on data relationships.
- Act: Augmented behavior technologies enhance compliance with action protocols.
Identification and Sensing Technologies
- Identification methods assign unique identities to objects in a network, with public IP addresses identifying smart devices on the Internet.
- Sensing involves data originating from connected smart devices through sensors and actuators.
- Sensors: Electronic devices producing electrical, optical, and digital data from environmental stimuli, which is transformed into useful information.
- Actuators: They convert electrical signals into non-electric energy, acting on data provided by sensors.
RFID System Components
-
RFID Tags (Transponders/Smart Labels):
- Comprised of an antenna, optional battery, and semiconductor chip.
- Two types:
- Active Tags: Equipped with battery, offering large memory and extended read range.
- Passive Tags: Lacks on-board power; simpler and less expensive.
-
Interrogator (Reader):
- Includes RF module, control module, and antenna for reading RFID tags.
-
Controller (Host):
- Hosts the database for storing tag-related information.
Connectivity and Networking
- RFID devices, sensors, and networks connect through various technologies, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and gateways.
- A unique IP address is necessary for each smart device to ensure uninterrupted connectivity.
IoT Architecture
-
Three-Layer IoT Architecture:
- Application Layer: Provides services and semantic analysis.
- Network Layer: Routes data to applications.
- Perception Layer: Handles data collection and transmission.
-
Five-Layer IoT Architecture:
- Perception Layer: Collects data from smart devices.
- Object Abstraction Layer: Provides network connectivity.
- Service Management Layer: Manages data processing and storage.
- Application Layer: Offers services, semantic analysis, and reporting.
- Business Layer: Develops business models, flowcharts, and graphs.
