 IoT Ecosystem
IoT is not just a technology; it is an ecosystem!

• Community components:
 IoT Frameworks
• Tools needed to design and implement IoT-based solutions and products

 IoT Architectures
• Graphical structure of the designed IoT-based solutions and products

 IoT Core
• Sensors & Actuators, microcontrollers, internet connectivity, service platform including security

 IoT Gateway
• It carries the responsibility to ensure bidirectional communication between IoT protocols and other networks

 Cloud
• Accepts, accumulates, maintains, stores, and process data in real time

 Analytics
• It indulges in conversion and analysis of data which results in recommendations and future decision making

 User Interface / Visualization

• Design sleek, visually appealing, interactive, and ease-of-use graphical user interface

 IoT Framework
• Framework provides a development environment.
– It provides appropriate infrastructure to design and implement the architecture

• IoT framework comprises of large number of components

– sensors, sensor systems, gateways, mobile app, embedded controller, data management
platform, analytical platform, and so on.

– support interoperability among all devices, provides secure connectivity, reliability in data
transfer, interface to 3rd party application to built on it, and so on.

 IoT Network Architecture
 Network and its application should never be built without careful planning

 Architecture is how you design (i.e. graphical structure) your application or

solution.

• The practice of building single-purpose and “vertical” domain applications leads to isolated silos.

• Using the smart building use case, a security application can detect when nobody is in the building.
• It could then trigger lights to be switched off and for the air conditioning system to operate on a reduced setting.

 Use of Internet
Key Advantages of IP
Open and standard-based
Versatile
Ubiquitous
Scalable
Manageable
Highly secure
Stable and resilient

•IPv6 packets require a minimum MTU/PDU size of 1280 bytes.

•The maximum size of a MAC layer frame in IEEE 802.15.4 is 127 bytes.
– It gives just 102 bytes for an IPv6 packet !!

Need of packet/frame size optimization due to

 IoT Gateway
• It is a physical device or software
program that serves as the connection
point between the two different types
of networks

• Provide bidirectional communication

 Between IoT protocols and other
networks
• e.g. Zigbee <--> Ethernet

• Sometimes programmed to execute

some processing operations
 Edge computing

• It is necessary to maintain security to a

certain extent
 Can shield the entire IoT systems from
any cyberattack
