Unit 3 (Introduction of IoT System)
Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a system of interrelated, internet-connected
objects that are able to collect and transfer data over a wireless network without
human intervention.
A thing in the internet of things can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm
animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the
driver when tire pressure is low or any other natural or man-made object that can be
assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address and is able to transfer data over a network.
Components of IoT
There are four main components of IoT
i. Sensors/Devices
First, sensors or devices collect data from their environment. This data could be as
simple as a temperature reading or as complex as a full video feed.
We use “sensors/devices,” because multiple sensors can be bundled together or
sensors can be part of a device that does more than just sense things.
ii. Connectivity
The sensors/devices can be connected to the cloud through a variety of methods
including: cellular, satellite, WiFi, Bluetooth, low-power wide-area networks
(LPWAN), connecting via a gateway/router or connecting directly to the internet
via Ethernet.
Each option has tradeoffs between power consumption, range, and bandwidth.
Choosing which connectivity option is best comes down to the specific IoT
application, but they all accomplish the same task: getting data to the cloud.
iii. Data Processing
Once the data gets to the cloud (we’ll cover what the cloud means in our data
processing section)), software performs some kind of processing on it.
This could be very simple, such as checking that the temperature reading is within
an acceptable range. Or it could also be very complex, such as using computer
vision on video to identify objects (such as intruders on a property).
iv. User Interface
Next, the information is made useful to the end-user in some way. This could be via
an alert to the user (email, text, notification, etc). For example, a text alert when the
temperature is too high in the company’s cold storage.
A user might have an interface that allows them to proactively check in on the
system. For example, a user might want to check the video feeds on various
properties via a phone app or a web browser.
Bluetooth Technology
Bluetooth technology is a high-speed low powered wireless technology link that is
designed to connect phones or other portable equipment together. It is a specification
(IEEE 802.15.1) for the use of low-power radio communications to link phones,
computers, and other network devices over short distances without wires. Wireless
signals transmitted with Bluetooth cover short distances, typically up to 30 feet (10
meters).
It is achieved by embedded low-cost transceivers into the devices. It supports the
frequency band of 2.45GHz and can support upto 721KBps along with three voice
channels.
It can connect up to “eight devices” simultaneously and each device offers a unique 48-
bit address from the IEEE 802 standard with the connections being made a point to
point or multipoint.
Concept of Networking
Network
A network is a set of devices (often referred to as nodes) connected by communication links. A node
can be a computer, printer, or any other device capable of sending and/or receiving data generated by
other nodes on the network.
Network Criteria
A network must be able to meet a certain number of criteria. The most important of these are
performance, reliability, and security.
Performance: Performance can be measured in many ways, including transit time and response time.
Transit time is the amount of time required for a message to travel from one device to another. Response
time is the elapsed time between an inquiry and a response.
Reliability: Network reliability is measured by the frequency of failure, the time it takes a link to
recover from a failure, and the network's robustness in a catastrophe.
Security: Network security issues include protecting data from unauthorized access, protecting data
from damage and development, and implementing policies and procedures for recovery from breaches
and data losses.
NETWORK CATEGORIES
Local Area Networks (LAN): Local area networks, generally called LANs, are privately-owned
networks within a single building or campus of up to a few kilometers in size. They are widely used to
connect personal computers and workstations in company offices and factories to share resources (e.g.,
printers) and exchange information.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): A metropolitan area network, or MAN, covers a city. The best-
known example of a MAN is the cable television network available in many cities. This system grew
from earlier community antenna systems used in areas with poor over-the-air television reception.
Sensor Nodes
• A Sensor node also known as mote, is a node in a sensor network that is capable of performing
some processing. Gathering information and communicating with other connected nodes in a
network.
• Sensors arc designed to specific types of conditions in the physical world & then generate a
signal that can represent the magnitude of the condition being monitored. Those conditions
may be light, heat, sound, distance, pressure etc.
Concept of Cloud
• An IoT Cloud is a massive network that supports IoT devices and applications.
• IoT cloud offers an efficient, flexible and scalable model for delivering the infrastructure and
services needed to power IoT devices & applications for businesses with limited resources.
• IoT Cloud offers on-demand, cost efficient services, so organizations can leverage the
significant potential of IoT without having to build underlying infrastructure and services from
scratch.
• Cloud is important for aggregating large amount of data collected by sensors and for
processing of that data.
• Cloud also allows for high scalability.
• The brain of the system is in the cloud as the processing/commanding/analytics takes place
in cloud.
