Definition of IoT

A dynamic global network infrastructure with self-configuring


capabilities based on standard and interoperable communication
protocols where physical and virtual "things" have identities, physical
attributes, and virtual personalities and use intelligent interfaces, and
are seamlessly integrated into the information network, often
communicate data associated with users and their environments.

IoT
Characteristics of IoT

• Dynamic & Self-Adapting


• Self-Configuring
• Interoperable Communication Protocols
• Unique Identity
• Integrated into Information Network

IoT
Physical Design of IoT

• The "Things" in IoT usually refers to IoT devices which have unique
identities and can perform remote sensing, actuating and
monitoring capabilities.
• IoT devices can:
• Exchange data with other connected devices and applications (directly or
indirectly), or
• Collect data from other devices and process the data locally or
• Send the data to centralized servers or cloud-based application back-ends for
processing the data, or
• Perform some tasks locally and other tasks within the IoT infrastructure,
based on temporal and space constraints

IoT
Logical Design of IoT

• Logical design of an IoT system


refers to an abstract
representation of the entities
and processes without going
into the low-level specifics of
the implementation.

• An IoT system comprises of a


number of functional
blocks that provide the
system the capabilities
for identification,
sensing, actuation,
communication, and
management.

IoT
IoT Communication Model

• Request-Response
• Publish-Subscribe
• Push-Pull
• Exclusive Pair

IoT
Request-Response communication model

• Request-Response is a
communication model in which
the client sends requests to
the server and the server
responds to the requests.

• When the server receives a


request, it decides how to
respond, fetches the data,
retrieves resource
representations, prepares
the response,
and then sends the
response to the client.

Publish-Subscribe communication model

• Publish-Subscribe is a
communication model that
involves publishers, brokers and
consumers.
• Publishers are the source of data.
Publishers send the data to the
topics which are managed by the
broker. Publishers are not aware
of the consumers.
• Consumers subscribe to the topics
which are managed by the broker.
• When the broker receives data for
a topic from the publisher, it
sends the data to all the
subscribed consumers.

IoT
Push-Pull communication 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
consumers pull data.

IoT
Exclusive Pair communication model

• Exclusive Pair is a
bidirectional, fully duplex
communication model that
uses a persistent connection
between the client and
server.
• Once the connection is setup
it remains open until the
client sends a request to
close the connection.
• Client and server can send
messages to each other after
connection setup.

IoT
IoT Communication APIs

• REST-based Communication APIs

• Web Socket-based Communication APIs

IoT
REST-based Communication APIs

• Representational State Transfer


(REST) is a set of architectural
principles by which you can design
web services and web APIs that
focus on a system’s resources and
how resource states are
addressed and transferred.
• REST APIs follow the request-
response communication model.
• The REST architectural constraints
apply to the components,
connectors, and data elements,
within a distributed hypermedia
system.

IoT
WebSocket-based Communication APIs

• WebSocket APIs allow bi-directional, full duplex communication between


clients and servers.
• It allows full duplex communication and do not require a new connection to
be setup for each message to be sent.
• WebSocket communication begins with a connection setup request sent by
the client to the server. This request (called a WebSocket handshake) is sent
over HTTP and the server interprets it as an upgrade request.
• WebSocket APIs reduce the network traffic and latency as there is no
overhead for connection setup and termination requests for each message.
• It is suitable for IoT applications that have low latency or high throughput
requirements.

communication between
clients and servers.
• WebSocket APIs follow the

IoT Levels & Deployment Templates

An IoT system comprises of the following components:


• Device: An IoT device allows identification, remote sensing, actuating and
remote monitoring capabilities. You learned about various examples of IoT
devices in section
• Resource: Resources are software components on the IoT device for
accessing, processing, and storing sensor information, or controlling
actuators connected to the device. Resources also include the
software components that enable network access for the device.
• Controller Service: Controller service is a native service that runs on
the device and interacts with the web services. Controller service sends
data from the device to the web service and receives commands from
the application (via web services) for controlling the device.

IoT
IoT Levels & Deployment Templates

• Database: Database can be either local or in the cloud and stores the data
generated by the IoT device.
• Web Service: Web services serve as a link between the IoT device,
application, database and analysis components. Web service can be
either implemented using HTTP and REST principles (REST service) or using
WebSocket protocol (WebSocket service).
• Analysis Component: The Analysis Component is responsible for analyzing
the IoT data and generate results in a form which are easy for the user to
understand.
• Application: IoT applications provide an interface that the users can use to
control and monitor various aspects of the IoT system. Applications also
allow users to view the system status and view the processed data.
