Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. An architectural guide is necessary if you want to traverse the spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, whether that's a single device or millions of devices. This book encompasses the entire spectrum of IoT solutions, from sensors to the cloud. We start by examining modern sensor systems and focus on their power and functionality. After that, we dive deep into communication theory, paying close attention to near-range PAN, including the new Bluetooth® 5.0 specification and mesh networks. Then, we explore IP-based communication in LAN and WAN, including 802.11ah, 5G LTE cellular, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN. Next, we cover edge routing and gateways and their role in fog computing, as well as the messaging protocols of MQTT and CoAP. With the data now in internet form, you'll get an understanding of cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. We wrap up the analytics portion of the book with the application of statistical analysis, complex event processing, and deep learning models. Finally, we conclude by providing a holistic view of the IoT security stack and the anatomical details of IoT exploits while countering them with software defined perimeters and blockchains.

The IoT Story

Protocols


A natural question is, why are there any protocols outside of HTTP to transport data across the WAN? HTTP has provided significant services and abilities for the internet for over 20 years, yet was designed and architected for general purpose computing in client/server models. IoT devices can be very constrained, remote, and bandwidth limited. Therefore, more efficient, secure, and scalable protocols are necessary to manage a plethora of devices in various network topologies such as mesh networks.  

In transporting data to the internet, designs are relegated to the TCP/IP foundation layers. TCP and UDP protocols are the obvious and only choice in data communication with TCP being significantly more complex in its implementation than UDP (being a multicast protocol). UDP, however, does not have the stability and reliability of TCP, forcing some designs to compensate by adding resiliency in the application layers above UDP. 

Many of the protocols listed in this chapter are Message...
