4. IoT overview
IoT Overview - Definition
The term ”Internet of Things” (IoT) denotes a trend where a large
number of embedded devices employ communication services
offered by the Internet protocols. Many of these devices, often
called ”smart objects, are not directly operated by humans, but
exist as components in buildings or vehicles, or are spread out in the
environment. (The Internet Architecture Board)
A global infrastructure for the information society, enabling
advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things
based on existing and evolving interoperable information and
communication technologies (ITU)
The Internet of things (noun): The interconnection via the Internet
of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them
to send and receive data (Oxford Dictionary)

IoT Overview - Enablers
Ubiquitous Connectivity: Low cost, high speed, and pervasive
network connectivity
Widespread adoption of IPbased networking.
Moores law continues to deliver greater computing power at lower
price points and lower power consumption. Manufacturing advances
allow cutting-edge computing and communications technology to
be incorporated into very small objects

7. From M2M to IoT
From M2M to IoT
In the 1990s, advances in wireless technology
allowed machinetomachine (M2M) enterprise and
industrial solutions to become widespread.
Many of these early M2M solutions, however, were
based on closed purposebuilt networks and proprietary
or industryspecific standards
The recent open M2M solutions are usually vertically
centric which mean it serves a particular domain
application (Health, Home, Industrial , etc.)
The concept of IoT is to build a horizontal layer that
overlap all domains creating one big platform.

) It is maintained by the IEEE 802.15 working group
) It is the basis for the ZigBee,ISA100.11a, WirelessHART, and MiWi
specifications, each of which further extends the standard by
developing the upper layers which are not defined in IEEE 802.15.4
) it is used with 6LoWPAN and standard Internet protocols to build a
wireless embedded Internet.
Zigbee
) Uses the 802.15.4 standard and operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency
range with 250 kbps
) The maximum number of nodes in the network is 1024 with a range

Searching in a directory:
) A central directory is used
for discovery of things and
resources
) Discovery requests are
sent to the directory

Search Across Peers:
) In P2P style discovery, the directory is essentially distributed across the
peers
) Distributed hash tables (DHT) is often used to map the search space
into a numeric range and then allocates servers to parts of that
range
) Observation: the technique works well for scale free networks

50. An Example: MQTT
MQTT - Publish and Subscribe Model
The Pub/Sub model decouples the sender (Publisher) from
the receiver (Subscriber) by a third party called the broker
) Space decoupling: Publisher and subscriber do not need to
know each other (by ip address and port for example)
) Time decoupling: Publisher and subscriber do not need to run at
the same time
) Synchronization decoupling: Operations on both components are
not halted during publish or receiving
The broker filters all incoming messages coming from publishers
and distributes them to subscribers accordingly

51. An Example: MQTT
MQTT - Publish and Subscribe Model
Pub/Sub also provides a greater scalability than the traditional
client-server approach because operations on the broker can be
highly parallelized and processed event-driven
To scale publish/subscribe to millions of connections, cluster of
brokers are used .
The broker filter then forward messages to subscribers based on
three criteria :
) Subject-based filtering
) Content-based filtering
) Type-based filtering

55. An Example: MQTT
MQTT Quality of Service (QoS)
Qos is a major feature of MQTT because it handles retransmission
and guarantees the delivery of the message
Mostly used for unreliable networks.
Three levels: 0, 1, and 2.
QoS 0 at most once: A
message wont be acknowledged
by the receiver or stored and
redelivered by the sender. This
is often called fire and forget
and provides the same
guarantee as the underlying
TCP protocol.

MQTT Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS 1 at least once
) When using QoS level 1, it is
guaranteed that amessagewill be
delivered at least once to the
receiver. But the message can also
be delivered more than once.
) The sender will store the message
until it gets an acknowledgement in
form of aPUBACK command
message from the receiver.
) If the PUBACK isnt received in a
reasonable amount of time the sender
will resend the PUBLISH message

57. An Example: MQTT
MQTT Quality of Service (QoS)
It is the lowest level
If a receiver gets a QoS 2 PUBLISH it will process the message
and send PUBREC message.
When the sender receives the PUBREC it can safely discard the
initial publish, then store the PUBREC and respond with a PUBREL.
After the receiver gets the PUBREL it can discard every stored
state and answer with a PUBCOMP. The same is true when the
sender receives the PUBCOMP.

MQTT - Simple Expirment
We will use two applications running on your mobile phones. One
acts as a publisher and the other as a subscriber. You can also work
in pairs.
For Android use mymqtt (publisher) and MQTT Dash (subscriber)
applications. Download them from Google play and install them in
your phone
For iphone, go to the website service
http://www.hivemq.com/demos/websocket-client/
First configure the clients with the following minimal parameters :
Address : iot.eclipse.org Port : 1884

59. An Example: MQTT
MQTT - Simple Expirment
Use one client to subscribe to the following topic:
kacst/b36/xxxx/temp (xxxx is a random number)
Use the other client to publish a message using the same topic
Publish a different value and make sure it is received by the subscriber
You could also try the wild-card feature

Summary
The IoT vision is to build a horizontal layer across
different vertical domains to facilitate data sharing
and enable innovative applications
The IoT functional architecture includes
from top to bottom application, application
support, network, and device layers.
Management and security span all layers.
Four IoT communication models: Device to device
, Device to cloud, Device to gateway , and Back
end sharing data models
The IoT ecosystem has four Business roles :
Device provider, Network provider, Platform

Summary
New protocols are designed in each functional layer.
OneM2M works to standardize the horizontal layer of the
IoT
Rich metadata is needed to describe things and their actions,
events, and relations
IoT platform is the back end system where the real work is done. It
is composed of different components that facilitate device
management, data storage and processing , events handling, data
analysis, visualization, and API to connect to devices or other
platforms or systems
Finally we describe the publish and subscribe communication
model and how MQTT protocol and why it is suitable for IoT
applications
