Internet of things (IoT) has entered its golden age. This book presents a smart introduction and guide to the IoT. It discusses all the necessary components and knowledge to start being a vital part of the IoT revolution. IoT is all about intelligence, not just control. Now, IoT is a fast-changing set of technologies and architectures. In this book, we learn how to create smart-IoT solutions to help solve different problems. We present the most important aspects of IoT, the various applications of IoT, and the enabling technologies for IoT. This book presents main IoT concepts and abstractions explaining many case studies such as smart homes, smart agriculture, and smart automotive. Analysis of IoT strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats of IoT is also presented.
By enabling IoT, control of daily life in an intelligent and easier way is feasible. There are many reasons that make IoT feasible such as Internet infrastructure already exists and internet available almost everywhere in the developed world. Moreover, hardware size allows incorporation into a device. Besides, cost of hardware has decreased. IPv6 protocol has large address space, so we can assign an IP for each thing on the earth. There is infinite number of applications for IoT such as traceability, smart home, smart office, smart campus, smart shopping, and smart clothes. IoT will not only control our homes, but also our business, society, cities, and our lives.
IoT describes the connection of devices with embedded sensors, actuators, and software by networking technologies. Sensors can be real sensors or virtual sensors to collect data from the internet. Communication can be done using many types of protocols such as RFID, AD-HOC, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, Bluetooth, ZigBee, USB, WSN, and IPv6, which are ranging from short-range to long-range communications. For example, Bluetooth for short-range connectivity; Wi-Fi for medium scale connectivity; cellular technologies for large scale connectivity. Control is done using FPGA, ASIC, or processors. Actuators examples are motor, alarm, and oven. IoT architecture consists of three layers: physical layer, communication layer, and application layer.
- Provides readers with a comprehensive overview of IoT;
- Includes discussion of IoT algorithms and architectures tradeoffs;
- Uses real, industrial applications/case-studies to demonstrate concepts introduced.
