- 1. Internet ofThings (IoT) Done By: Saleh Alrkiyan eng.alrkiyan@gmail.com https://linkedin.com/in/salrkiyan 1
- 2. Internet ofThings The next wave in the era of computing will be outside the realm of the traditional desktop. In the Internet of Things (IoT), many of the objects that surround us will be on the network in one form or another. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and sensor network technologies will rise to meet this new challenge, in which information and communication systems are invisibly embedded in the environment around us. 2

- 4. WhyWe need IoT? ■ Transport Systems – Traffic lights, Gas stations ■ Industrial Applications – Investigate the quality of product ■ Medical and Healthcare Systems – Improve patient state better ■ Building and Home Automation – Air condition , Security lock lightening,Telephone System 4
- 5. IoT Elements a) Hardware - made up of sensors, actuators and embedded communication hardware. b) Middleware - on demand storage and computing tools for data analytics. c) Presentation - novel easy to understand visualization and interpretation tools which can be widely accessed on different platforms and which can be designed for different applications. 5
- 6. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID technology is a major breakthrough in the embedded communication paradigm which enables design of microchips for wireless data communication.They help in automatic identification of anything they are attached to acting as an electronic barcode. The passive RFID tags are not battery powered and they use the power of the reader‘s interrogation signal to communicate the ID to the RFID reader. 6
- 7. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) Is a collection of sensors that are used in the transfer or follow a specific physical phenomenon (such as temperature, humidity, vibration, light, etc ...) and then transfer the information on the phenomenon wirelessly to the center of data processing for use without the need for the presence of human in the place of the phenomenon physical. 7
- 8. Addressing schemes ■ The ability to uniquely identify “Things” is critical for the success of IoT.This will not only allow us to uniquely identify billions of devices but also to control remote devices through the Internet.The few most critical features of creating a unique address are: uniqueness, reliability, persistence and scalability. ■ Every element that is already connected and those that are going to be connected, must be identified by their unique identification, location and functionalities. 8
- 9. Data storage and analytics ■ One of the most important outcomes of this emerging field is the creation of an unprecedented amount of data. Storage, ownership and expiry of the data become critical issues. ■ The internet consumes up to 5% of the total energy generated today and with these types of demands, it is sure to go up even further. ■ The data have to be stored and used intelligently for smart monitoring and actuation. 9
- 10. Applications of IoT Personal and Home. Enterprise. Utilities. Mobile. 10
- 11. Personal and Home ■ The sensor information collected is used only by the individuals who directly own the network. UsuallyWi-Fi is used as the backbone enabling higher bandwidth data (video) transfer as well as higher sampling rates (Sound). ■ Ubiquitous healthcare has been envisioned for the past two decades. IoT gives a perfect platform to realize this vision using body area sensors and IoT backend to upload the data to servers. 11

- 13. Enterprise ■ We refer to the "Network ofThings” within a work environment as an enterprise based application. Information collected from such networks are used only by the owners and the data may be released selectively. Environmental monitoring is the first common application which is implemented to keep a track of the number of occupants and manage the utilities within the building (e.g., HVAC, lighting). 13
- 14. Utilities ■ It is already being used by utility companies (smart meter by electricity supply companies) for resource management in order to optimise cost vs. profit. ■ These are made up of very extensive networks (usually laid out by large organisation on regional and national scale) for monitoring critical utilities and efficient resource management. ■ The backbone network used can vary between cellular,WiFi and satellite communication. 14
- 15. Mobile ■ Smart transportation and smart logistics are placed in a separate domain due to the nature of data sharing and backbone implementation required. Urban traffic is the main contributor to traffic noise pollution and a major contributor to urban air quality degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. ■ Important application in mobile IoT domain is efficient logistics management.This includes monitoring the items being transported as well as efficient transportation planning.The monitoring of items is carried out more locally, say, within a truck replicating enterprise domain but transport planning is carried out using a large scale IoT network. 15
- 16. Architecture of IoT ■ Overall architecture followed at the initial stages of IoT research will have a severe bearing on the field itself and needs to be investigated. Most of the work relating to IoT architecture has been from the wireless sensor networks perspective. 16
- 17. Secure reprogrammable networks and Privacy ■ Security will be a major concern wherever networks are deployed at large scale.There can be many ways the system could be attacked - disabling the network availability; pushing erroneous data into the network; accessing personal information; etc. ■ The three physical components of IoT - RFID,WSN and cloud are vulnerable to such attacks. ■ Against outsider attackers, encryption ensures data confidentiality, whereas message authentication codes ensure data integrity and authenticity. 17
- 18. New protocols ■ The protocols at the sensing end of IoT will play a key role in complete realisation. ■ They form the backbone for the data tunnel between sensors and the outer world. For the system to work efficiently, and energy efficient MAC protocol and appropriate routing protocol are critical. ■ An individual sensor can drop out for a number of reasons, so the network must be self-adapting and allow for multi-path routing. Multi-hop routing protocols are used in mobile ad hoc networks and terrestrial WSNs. 18
- 19. Conclusion The proliferation of devices with communicating actuating capabilities is bringing closer the vision of an Internet ofThings, where the sensing and actuation functions seamlessly blend into the background and new capabilities are made possible through access of rich new information sources. 19

Editor's Notes
- #9: The current IPv4 may support to an extent where a group of cohabiting sensor devices can be identified geographically, but not individually. The Internet Mobility attributes in the IPV6 may alleviate some of the device identification problems; however, the heterogeneous nature of wireless nodes, variable data types, concurrent operations and confluence of data from devices exacerbates the problem further
- #10: It is important to develop artificial intelligence algorithms which could be centralized or distributed based on the need.
- #15: The information from the networks in this application domain are usually for service optimisation rather than consumer consumption.
- #17: We are referring architecture to overall IoT where the user is at the center and will enable the use of data and infrastructure to develop new applications.
- #18: Encryption, however, does not protect against insider malicious attacks, to address which non-cryptographic means are needed, particularly in WSNs. Also, periodically, new sensor applications need to be installed, or existing ones need to be updated. This is done by remote wireless reprogramming of all nodes in the network.
- #20: The evolution of the next generation mobile system will depend on the creativity of the users in designing new applications. IoT is an ideal emerging technology to influence this domain by providing new evolving data and the required computational resources for creating revolutionary apps.
