1. How does IoT Strategic Research?

• IoT Strategic Research focuses on developing innovative solutions and


technologies that enable seamless connectivity and interaction between
devices and systems.
• This research aims to create intelligent systems across various sectors,
such as transportation, energy management, and healthcare, by
leveraging advancements in cloud technologies, sensors, and network
connectivity. 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.

NFV is widely used in telecom, cloud computing, and IoT networking.
4. What does M2M refer to in IoT?
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:

1. What are the applications of the M2M model?

o Smart Grid: Automated energy distribution and fault detection.

locally.

o AI/ML Integration: Enabling predictive analytics for automation.


o Blockchain Security: Ensuring data integrity in IoT transactions.

o 5G Connectivity: Supporting real-time applications with ultra-low


latency.

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.
