The goal is to enhance efficiency, improve user experiences, and drive economic growth through interconnected devices and smart environments. • It involves interdisciplinary research in wireless communication, sensor networks, data analytics, and AI to enhance IoT applications across industries.
2. Explain Future Internet Technologies.
Future Internet Technologies focus on improving scalability, security, and efficiency. Future Internet Technologies refer to the advancements and innovations that are expected to shape the next generation of the internet. Key advancements include Software-Defined Networking (SDN), 5G and beyond, IPv6 adoption, Blockchain for secure transactions, and Edge Computing for low- latency processing. These technologies aim to support massive IoT deployments and autonomous systems.
3. Define IoT value chains.
IoT value chains refer to the sequence of activities required to deliver IoT services, including data acquisition, transmission, processing, and application. It consists of four key components:
o Device Layer: Sensors and actuators collect data.
o Network Layer: Connectivity through Wi-Fi, LPWAN, or 5G.
o Data Processing Layer: Cloud or Edge computing processes information.
o Application Layer: Delivers insights to users via dashboards or
automation. 4. Describe Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology in detail.
Network functions virtualization (NFV) is an approach to network architecture
that involves replacing dedicated network hardware devices with software- based virtualized network functions (VNFs) that run on standard servers, storage, and switches. This enhances scalability, reduces operational costs, and improves flexibility. Key NFV components include:
o Virtual Network Functions (VNFs): Firewall, load balancer, routers.
o NFV Infrastructure (NFVI): The hardware and software supporting VNFs.
o NFV Orchestrator: Manages and automates NFV deployment.
NFV is widely used in telecom, cloud computing, and IoT networking.
5. Define basic building blocks of IoT architecture.
The IoT architecture consists of four primary layers:
o Perception Layer: Includes sensors, RFID tags, and actuators to collect
data.
o Network Layer: Transmits data via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LPWAN, or 5G.
o Processing Layer: Cloud or edge computing processes and analyzes
data.
o Application Layer: Provides user interfaces and automation
functionalities. Set 2:
1. Define IoT and its importance.
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected physical devices that collect and share data over the internet. IoT improves automation, efficiency, and decision-making across industries such as healthcare, agriculture, smart cities, and industrial automation.
2. Explain about any two IoT Protocols.
o MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport): A lightweight publish-
subscribe protocol used in low-bandwidth environments, ideal for IoT devices.
o CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol): A RESTful protocol optimized
for resource-constrained devices, enabling efficient communication in IoT networks.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication refers to direct data exchange between devices without human intervention. It enables automation in industrial IoT, smart homes, and healthcare applications. Examples include smart meters, connected cars, and remote monitoring systems.
5. Define basic reference model.
The IoT reference model provides a structured framework for IoT architecture. A common reference model includes:
o Physical Layer: Sensors and actuators.
o Network Layer: Connectivity solutions.
o Edge Computing Layer: Local data processing.
o Cloud Layer: Centralized storage and analytics.
o Application Layer: End-user interfaces and services.
Set 3:

3. Define the term "global information monopoly" in IoT.
A global information monopoly in IoT refers to a scenario where a few dominant tech companies control vast amounts of IoT data, leading to concerns over privacy, data sovereignty, and market competition. Companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft dominate cloud-based IoT solutions.
4. Explain about the IPv4 protocol in detail.
IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) is a widely used protocol for identifying and communicating between devices on a network. Key features include:
o 32-bit address space: Supports ~4.3 billion unique IP addresses.
o Header Fields: Source IP, Destination IP, TTL, Protocol, etc.
o Addressing Methods: Unicast, Broadcast, Multicast.
Due to IPv4 address exhaustion, IPv6 is being adopted with a 128-bit address space.
