Explain the role of things in IoT.
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical objects—“things”—that are
embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and
exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet.
IoT allows businesses and people to be more connected to the world around them, and to do
more meaningful, higher-level work. A complete IoT solution integrates four distinct
components: sensors/devices, connectivity, data processing, and a user interface.

Connectivity: Connectivity refers to establish a proper connection between

all the things of IoT to IoT platform it may be server or cloud. After connecting
the IoT devices, it needs a high speed messaging between the devices and
cloud to enable reliable, secure and bi-directional communication.

Analyzing: After connecting all the relevant things, it comes to real-time

analyzing the data collected and use them to build effective business
intelligence. If we have a good insight into data gathered from all these things,
then we call our system has a smart system.

Integrating: IoT integrating the various models to improve the user

experience as well.

Artificial Intelligence: IoT makes things smart and enhances life through the
use of data. For example, if we have a coffee machine whose beans have
going to end, then the coffee machine itself order the coffee beans of your
 choice from the retailer.

Sensing: The sensor devices used in IoT technologies detect and measure any
change in the environment and report on their status. IoT technology brings
passive networks to active networks. Without sensors, there could not hold an
effective or true IoT environment.

Active Engagement: IoT makes the connected technology, product, or

services to active engagement between each other.

Endpoint Management: It is important to be the endpoint management of

all the IoT system otherwise, it makes the complete failure of the system. For
example, if a coffee machine itself order the coffee beans when it goes to end
but what happens when it orders the beans from a retailer and we are not
present at home for a few days, it leads to the failure of the IoT system. So,
there must be a need for endpoint management.

and Templates? 1 .1

1.IoT Level1: System has a single node that performs sensing

and/or actuation, stores data, performs analysis and host the
application as shown in fig. Suitable for modeling low cost and
low complexity solutions where the data involved is not big and
analysis requirement are not computationally intensive. An e.g.,
of IoT Level1 is Home automation.
2.IoT Level2: has a single node that performs sensing and/or
actuating and local analysis as shown in fig. Data is stored in
cloud and application is usually cloud based. Level2 IoT systems
are suitable for solutions where data are involved is big,
however, the primary analysis requirement is not
computationally intensive and can be done locally itself. An e,g.,
of Level2 IoT system for Smart Irrigation.
3.IoT Level3: system has a single node. Data is stored and
analyzed in the cloud application is cloud based as shown in fig.
Level3 IoT systems are suitable for solutions where the data
involved is big and analysis requirements are computationally
intensive. An example of IoT level3 system for tracking package
handling.
3 With a neat sketch, explain the push-pull communication model of IoT Underst C323. 2.7
and 1 .2
Push-Pull Model.
Push-Pull is a communication model in which the data producers
push the data to queues and the consumers Pull the data from
the Queues. Producers do not need to be aware of the
consumers. Queues help in decoupling the messaging between
the Producers and Consumers. Queues also act as a buffer which
helps in situations when there is a mismatch between the rate at
which the producers push data and the rate rate at which the
consumer pull data.
There are three basic elements also in Push-Pull Model as
given below
Publisher: It pushes the data in Message Queue
Message Queue: it is a buffer which stored data, pushed by
publisher
Subscriber: It pulls data from message queue.
The push-pull model constitutes data publishers, data
 consumers, and data queues.
 Publishers and Consumers are not aware of each
other.
 Publishers publish the message/data and push it into
the queue. The consumers, present on the other side,
pull the data out of the queue. Thus, the queue acts as
the buffer for the message when the difference occurs
in the rate of push or pull of data on the side of a
publisher and consumer.
 Queues help in decoupling the messaging between
the producer and consumer. Queues also act as a
buffer which helps in situations where there is a
mismatch between the rate at which the producers
push the data and consumers pull the data.

and justify the need of each block in it? g 1 .3
Sensors:
  These form the front end of the IoT devices. These are the
so-called “Things” of the system. Their main purpose is to
collect data from its surroundings (sensors) or give out
data to its surrounding (actuators).
 These have to be uniquely identifiable devices with a
unique IP address so that they can be easily identifiable
over a large network.
 These have to be active in nature which means that they
should be able to collect real-time data. These can either
work on their own (autonomous in nature) or can be made
to work by the user depending on their needs (user-
controlled).
 Examples of sensors are gas sensor, water quality sensor,
moisture sensor, etc.
Processors:
 Processors are the brain of the IoT system. Their main
function is to process the data captured by the sensors and
process them so as to extract the valuable data from the
enormous amount of raw data collected. In a word, we can
say that it gives intelligence to the data.
 Processors mostly work on real-time basis and can be
easily controlled by applications. These are also
responsible for securing the data – that is performing
encryption and decryption of data.
 Embedded hardware devices, microcontroller, etc are the
ones that process the data because they have processors
attached to it.
 Gateways:
 Gateways are responsible for routing the processed data
and send it to proper locations for its (data) proper
utilization.
 In other words, we can say that gateway helps in to and fro
communication of the data. It provides network connectivity
to the data. Network connectivity is essential for any IoT
system to communicate.
 LAN, WAN, PAN, etc are examples of network gateways.
Applications:
 Applications form another end of an IoT system.
Applications are essential for proper utilization of all the
data collected.
 These cloud-based applications which are responsible for
rendering the effective meaning to the data collected.
Applications are controlled by users and are a delivery
point of particular services.
 Examples of applications are home automation apps,
security systems, industrial control hub, etc.

analysis. Data is stored in the cloud and application is cloud
based as shown in fig. Level4 contains local and cloud based
observer nodes which can subscribe to and receiveinformation
collected in the cloud from IoT devices. An example of a Level4
IoT system for Noise Monitoring.
IoT Level5: System has multiple end nodes and one coordinator
node as shown in fig. The end nodes that perform sensing
and/or actuation. Coordinator node collects data from the end
nodes and sends to the cloud.Data is stored and analyzed in the
cloud and application is cloud based. Level5 IoT systems are
suitable for solution based on wireless sensor network, in which
data involved is big and analysis requirements are
computationally intensive. An example of Level5 system for
Forest Fire Detection.
IoT Level6: System has multiple independent end nodes that perform
sensing and/or actuation and sensed data to the cloud. Data is stored in the
cloud and application is cloud based as shown in fig. The analytics
component analyses the data and stores the result in the cloud data base.
The results are
visualized with cloud based application. The centralized
controller is aware of the status of all the end nodes and sends
control commands to nodes. An example of a Level6 IoT system
for Weather Monitoring System.
