What is IoT?
I- Internet
Interconnected network of networks.
Internet is a vast network that connects
computers all over the world.
Share information, communicate from
anywhere with a connection.
o- of
T – Things
A thing, is an entity or physical object that has
a unique identifier, an embedded system and
the ability to transfer data over a network.
In addition to dedicated computing devices
such as PCs, notebooks, smartphones or
tablets, the list of potential things is almost
unlimited.
These devices gather useful data with the help
of various existing technologies and share that
data between other devices.
Official Use
Definitions
• "The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices,
mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with
unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring
human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.“
• The Internet of Things is actually a pretty simple concept, it means taking
all the things in the world and connecting them to the internet.
• 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.
Official Use
Characteristics:
• Dynamic & Self Adapting: IoT devices and systems may have the capability to dynamically adapt with the changing
contexts and take actions based on their operating conditions, user’s context or sensed environment.
E.g.: the surveillance system is adapting itself based on context and changing conditions.
• Self Configuring: allowing a large number of devices to work together to provide certain functionality. These devices
have the ability to configure themselves ,setup the networking and fetch latest software upgrades with minimal manual or
user intervention.
• Inter Operable Communication Protocols: support a number of interoperable communication protocols and can
communicate with other devices and with infrastructure.
• Unique Identity: Each IoT device has a unique identity and a unique identifier (IP address or a URI). IoT systems may
have intelligent interfaces which adapt based on the context , allow communicating with users and the environmental
contexts. IoT device interfaces allow users to query the devices ,monitor their status , and control them remotely, in
association with the control , configuration and management infrastructure.
• Integrated into Information Network: that allow them to communicate and exchange data with other devices and
systems. IoT devices can be dynamically discovered in the network , by other devices or user applications . For example, a
weather monitoring node can describe its monitoring capabilities to another connected node so that they can communicate
and exchange data. Integration into the information network helps in making IoT systems “smarter’ due to the collective
intelligence of the individual devices in collaboration with the infrastructure . Thus , the data from a large number of
connected weather monitoring IoT nodes can be aggregated and analyzed to predict the weather.

IoT Protocols(1)
• Link Layer : Protocols determine
how data is physically sent over
the network’s physical layer or
medium. Local network connect to
which host is attached. Hosts on
the same link exchange data
packets over the link layer using
link layer protocols. Link layer
determines how packets are coded
and signaled by the h/w device
over the medium to which the host
is attached.

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.
• Refers to an abstract represent of entities and processes without going into the low level specifies of
implementation.

2) IoT Communication Models
3) IoT Communication APIs
Official Use
IoT Functional Blocks
Provide the system the capabilities for identification, sensing, actuation, communication and
management . These functional blocks are described as follows:
• Device: An IoT system comprises of devices that provide sensing, actuation, monitoring and control
functions.
• Communication: handles the communication for IoT system.
• Services: for device monitoring, device control services, data publishing services and services for
device discovery.
• Management: Provides various functions to govern the IoT system.
• Security: Secures IoT system and priority functions such as authentication ,authorization, message and
context integrity and data security.
• Application: IoT application provide an interface that the users can use to control and monitor various
aspects of IoT system.
Official Use
Request-Response
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.
Official Use
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.
Official Use
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 at
which the consumers pull data.
Official Use
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.
Official Use
IoT Communication APIs
• The application program (or programming) interface, or API, is arguably what
really ties together the connected “things” of the “internet of things.”
• IoT APIs are the points of interaction between an IoT device and the internet
and/or other elements within the network.
• As API management company Axway puts it, “APIs are tightly linked with IoT
because they allow you to securely expose connected devices to customers, go-
to-market channels and other applications in your IT infrastructure.”
Official Use
Why are IoT APIs important?
• “APIs are the market enabler, and ‘internet of things’ devices would be useless
without them.
• By exposing data that enables multiple devices to be connected, APIs provide an
interface between the internet and the things to reveal previously unseen
possibilities,” said Chris O’Connor, IBM’s GM for IoT, in a blog entry.
• “In the year to come, the power and importance of APIs will be at the forefront of
the conversation around enabling—and more important—monetizing the ‘internet
of things.'”
Official Use
Types of APIs
Generally, we used Two APIs For IoT Communication.
These IoT Communication APIs are:
• REST-based Communication APIs
• WebSocket-based Communication APIs
Official Use
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.
• The REST architectural constraints: Fig. shows communication between client server with REST
APIs.
Official Use
Contd..
• Client-Server: The principle behind client-server constraint is the separation of concerns. Separation
allows client and server to be independently developed and updated.
• Stateless: Each request from client to server must contain all the info. Necessary to understand the
request and cannot take advantage of any stored context on the server.
• Cache-able: Cache constraint requires that the data within a response to a request be implicitly or
explicitly labeled as cache-able or non-cacheable. If a response is cache-able, then a client cache is
given the right to reuse that response data for later, equivalent requests.
• Layered System: constraints the behavior of components such that each component cannot see
beyond the immediate layer with which they are interacting.
• User Interface: constraint requires that the method of communication between a client and a server
must be uniform.
• Code on Demand: Servers can provide executable code or scripts for clients to execute in their
context. This constraint is the only one that is optional.
Official Use
Request-Response model used by REST:
• RESTful web service is a collection
of resources which are
represented by URIs. RESTful web
API has a base URI(e.g.:
http://example.com/api/tasks/).
• The clients and requests to these
URIs using the methods defined by
the HTTP protocol(e.g: GET, PUT,
POST or DELETE). A RESTful web
service can support various
internet media types.
Official Use
WebSocket based communication API
• WebSocket APIs allow bi-directional, full duplex communication between clients and servers. WebSocket
APIs follow the exclusive pair communication model.
• Unlike request-response model such as REST, the WebSocket APIs allow full duplex communication and
do not require 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. The
request (called WebSocket handshake) is sent over HTTP and the server interprets it is an upgrade
request.
• If the server supports WebSocket protocol, the server responds to the WebSocket handshake response.
After the connection setup client and server can send data/messages to each other in full duplex mode.
• WebSocket API reduce the network traffic and latency as there is no overhead for connection setup and
termination requests for each message.
• WebSocket suitable for IoT applications that have low latency or high throughput requirements. So ,Web
socket is most suitable IoT Communication APIs for IoT System.
