IoT Concept (2)
“Big Data”
• “Collect -> Store -> Analyse -> Share” architecture
Consumer IoT
• Consumer-oriented applications
• Consumer devices, such as smart appliances (e.g. refrigerator, washer, dryer), personal gadgets (e.g. fitness sensors, smart glasses, etc.)
• Data volumes and rates are relatively low
• Applications are not (usually) mission or safety critical
Industrial IoT
• Devices are machines operating in e.g. industrial, transportation, energy or medical environment
• Data volumes, rates and number od devices tend to be relatively high
• Applications are mission and / or safety critical
• System-centric applications
• New industrial revolution
• Industry 4.0
Specific Transmission Requirements of IoTApplications
• Each IoT application generates a specific data pattern and has specific communication requirements
• Selection of suitable communication technology / protocol is crucial
• M2M traffic is mainly homogenous
• All devices operating the same application behave similarly
• M2M traffic is highly predictable
• Many devices reacts on global events in synchronized manner
Examples of different M2M applications
IoT Communication Architecture
• Nowadays, there is a “zoo” of IoT-ready protocols and (wireless) technologies
• MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol,
• CoAP (Constraint Application Protocol),
• ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Z-Wave,
• WirelessHART, ISA100.10a, Wireless M-BUS,
• Energy-efficient industrial WiFi (IEEE 802.11ah),
• Proprietary cellular-like technologies (SIGFOX, LoRaWAN),
• Standardized cellular systems (LTE-Cat. 0/1, 3GPP Narrow-Band IoT).
• Interoperability across different technologies and systems is the key issue!
IoT Communication Architecture (2)
MQTT Protocol
• Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT)
• Centralized, text-oriented and easily implementable application protocol for IoT
• Bi-directional communication mechanism
• Publish / Subscribe
• Utilizing TCP / IP architecture and / or standard SMS
• High energy efficiency due to small size oftransffered messages.
• Suitable for transmission of telemetric data
CoAP Protocol
• Constraint Application Protocol
• Lightweight software- implementable application protocol suitable for very simple (power-constrained / embedded) devices
• E.g. remote control of electric appliances like heating or lighting systems
• Utilizes TCP / IP architecture
• Non-secure transmission by default
• Security mechanisms provide by upper layers (e.g. TLS)
• Can be easily converted to the HTTP protocol
• Easy integration into the web applications
• High energy efficiency
Wireless M-BUS Technology
