Machine To Machine Communication

The document discusses machine to machine communication and embedded systems. An embedded system is a combination of computer hardware and software designed for a specific function and may function within a larger system. An embedded system can be an independent system or part of a large system and is designed to perform a specific task like a fire alarm.

Machine To Machine Communication

An embedded system is a combination of computer hardware


and software designed for a specific function. Embedded
systems may also function within a larger system. The systems
can be programmable or have a fixed functionality.
An embedded system can be an independent system or it can be
a part of a large system. An embedded system is a
microcontroller or microprocessor based system which is
designed to perform a specific task. For example, a fire alarm
is an embedded system; it will sense only smoke.
An ATM is an embedded system which utilizes a crowded
computer to set up a network between a bank computer and an
ATM itself. It also has a microcontroller to bear both input and
output operations
Features of IoT

1. Connectivity
In IoT, smart devices can communicate after connectivity. Connectivity is
required in-between all the things of IoT to IoT platform. IoT platform may be
server or cloud.
After connecting the IoT smart devices, it’s require high speed data transfer
in-between the devices and cloud. So, to achievethe reliable, secure and
bi-directional communication we use Radio waves (RFID), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or
GPS technology.
2. Sensing
In IoT, the smart devices are capable to sense the data continuously. Sense of
data means to detect and measure any change in the environment and report as
well. Without sensing the environment IoT is incomplete.
the Internet of Things is the concept of connecting any device (so long
as it has an on/off switch) to the Internet and to other connected
devices. The IoT is a giant network of connected things and people – all
of which collect and share data about the way they are used and about
the environment around them.
That includes an extraordinary number of objects of all shapes and
sizes – from smart microwaves, which automatically cook your food for
the right length of time,
self-driving cars, whose complex sensors detect objects in their path,
wearable fitness devices that measure your heart rate and the number
of steps you’ve taken that day, then use that information to suggest
exercise plans tailored to you. There are even connected footballs that
can track how far and fast they are thrown and record those statistics
via an app for future training purposes.
Characteristics of IoT (Internet of
Things)
1. Connectivity
As the name suggests, it’s all about the connectivity of 2
or more devices. This characteristics of IoT help to
communicate with and share information between two
or more devices. The IoT has created a world where
everything is connected to communicate well and share
user data. This connectivity also enables objects to be
controlled remotely.
2. Identity of Things
As we all know, Identity is the unique characteristic of anyone.
If we take the example of mobile, every mobile phone has a
unique IMEI number, and the same goes for other devices in
this world. Due to this unique number, we identify people and
things on the Internet. So, we can say that the Identity of
Things is one of the unique characteristics of IoT.
The concept of Identity is found in many aspects of IoT.
Device Identity is the one thing that makes an IoT device
unique and identifiable. Identity can be used to distinguish
between different devices, give them a name, and allow them
to be controlled.
3. Scalability
Scalability is nothing but the ability of a system to grow
without affecting its performance of the system. We can
quickly achieve that by adding more hardware resources
or software layers to an existing system. IoT is increasing
daily, and it is essential to consider scalability in your
system, which makes it essential characteristics of IoT.

4. Dynamic or Self-Adapting
Being dynamic is one of the main characteristics of IoT
because it needs to be self-adaptive to understand the
changes around it and act accordingly.
If we take an example of a camera, it was initially created
just to take a photograph; however, later, it has got the
feature of adjusting the quality of a photograph according
to the light. So, being dynamic is very important to grow a
system. Self-adaptability is a very important characteristics
of IoT.

5. Architecture
Architecture is one of the critical characteristics of IoT, as
with the increasing number of IoT devices, it is very
important to keep it heterogenetic not homogenetic.
IoT is only possible when multiple domains come together
and work to build a system that can minimize human work.
So, it is essential for the devices to support diverse
technologies and protocols and communicate with each
other.
6. Safety
The basic idea of IoT is to connect everything to the
internet and make the system easier for the users.
However, when things are connected to the internet in such
a way there is always a danger of the sensitive personal
details of the users getting compromised. So safety is
undoubtedly a crucial characteristic of IoT.
7. Intelligence
The evolution of digital personal assistants like Alexa,
Cortana, and Siri is an example of the intelligence of
electronic devices. The intelligence of IoT devices is the
intelligence of smart sensors and devices to sense data,
interact with each other and collect a massive amount
of data for analysis. It is very crucial for your IoT device
to be smart and for that, you need to make sure that it is
always up-to-date with the latest software and firmware.
So, we can say that Intelligence is one of the essential
Characteristics of IoT.
