Internet of things
From Wikipedia, the free eneyelapedia
‘The internet of things (IoT) isthe intemetworking of physical devices,
vehicles (also referred to as “connected devices” and "smart devices"),
buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors,
actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and
exchange data.[1IP1°1 fp 2013 the Global Standards Initiative on Internet of
‘Things (oT-GS1) defined the IoT as "the infrastructure of the information
society." 4] The JoT allows objects to be sensed and/or controlled remotely
across existing network infrastructure,[I creating opportunities for more direct
integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in
improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit [S1l7118119109111 When [oT
is augmented with sensors and actuators, the technology becomes an instance of
the more general class of eyber-physical systems, which also encompasses Daiving dafeieiahg etait or
technologies such as smart grids, smart homes, intelligent transportation and Tas
smart cities. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded :
‘computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet
infrastructure, Experts estimate thatthe IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020.01,
British entrepreneur Kevin Ashton coined the term in 1999 while working at Auto-ID Labs (originally called Auto-ID
centers, referring to a global network of objects connected to radio-frequency identification, or RFID).1 Typically,
oT is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine
(M2M) communications and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications. |!4I The interconnection of these
embedded devices (including smart objects), is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields, while also enabling
advanced applications like a smart grid|'5] and expanding to the areas such as smart cities.(161171

devices for environmental/foodipathogen monitoringl!®] or field operation devices that assist firefighters in seerch and
rescue operations !2°1 Legal scholars suggest to look at "Things" as an "inextricable mixture of hardware, software, data
and service" 21) These devices collect useful data with the help of various existing technologies and then autonomously
flow the data between other devices.!2] Current market examples include home automation (also known as smart home
devices) such as the control and automation of lighting, heating (like smart thermostat), ventilation, air conditioning,
(HVAC) systems, and appliances such as washer dryers, ovens or refrigerators'/freezers that use Wi-Fi for remote
monitoring,
As well as the expansion of Intemet-connected automation into a plethora of new application areas, IoT is also
espected to generate large amounts of data from diverse locations, with the consequent necessity for quick aggregation
of the data, and an increase in the need to index, store, and process such data more effectively. IoT is one of the
platforms of today’s Smart City, and Smart Energy Management Systems. [251124]

History
+hitps-//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of things
As of 2016, the vision of the intemet of things has evolved due to a convergence of multiple technologies, including
ubiquitous wireless communication, real-time analytics, machine learning, commodity sensors, and embedded
systems,l?°l This means that the traditional fields of embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, control systems,
automation (including home and building automation), and others all contribute to enabling the intemet of things!
25]
(oT) And an analysis by McKinsey & Company in June 2015 projects that IoT will potentially be a $11.1 trillion
industry by 2025, which currently is more than 10% of the world economy today.l?6II?71F8)/29]

Century", as well as academic venues such as UbiComp and PerCom produced the contemporary vision of Jo. 221033)
In 1994 Reza Raji described the concept in IEEE Spectrum as"[moving] small packets of data to a large set of nodes,
So 8 to integrate and automate everything from home appliances to entire factories’ 4] Between 1993 and 1996
several companies proposed solutions like Microsoft's at Work or Novell's NEST. However, only in 1999 did the field
start gathering momentum. Bill Joy envisioned Device to Device (D2D) communication as part of his "Six Webs"
framework, presented at the World Economic Forum at Davos in 1999,1°51
‘The concept of the intemet of things first became popular in 1999, through the Auto-ID Center at MIT and related.
market-analysis publications, 46 Radio-frequency identification (RFID) was seen by Kevin Ashton (one of the founders
of the original Auto-ID Center) as a prerequisite for the intemet of things at that point.(°71 If all objects and people in
daily life were equipped with identifiers, computers could manage and inventory them [5811 Besides using RFID, the
tagging of things may be achieved through such technologies as near field communication, barcodes, QR codes and
digital watermarking 911)
In its ofiginal interpretation, one of the first consequences of implementing the internet of things by equipping all
objects in the world with minuscule identifying devices ot machine-readable identifiers would be to transform daily
life, 21149] For instance, instant and ceaseless inventory control would become ubiquitous !#31 4 person's ability to
interact with objects could be altered remotely based on immediate or present needs, in accordance with existing
end-user agreements, 27] For example, such technology could grant motion-picture publishers much more control over
end-user private devices by remotely enforcing copyright restrictions and digital rights management, so the ability of a
customer who bought a Blu-ray disc to watch the movie becomes dependent on so-called "copyright holder's” decision,
similar to Circuit City's failed DIVX.
Applications
According to Gartner, Inc. (a technology research and advisory corporation),
there will be nearly 20.8 billion devices on the internet of things by 2020.41
ABI Research estimates that more than 30 billion devices will be wirelessly
connected to the intemet of things by 2020.45 As per a recent survey and study
done by Pew Research Internet Project, a large majority of the technology
experts and engaged Internet users who responded—83 percent—agreed with
the notion that the Internet/Cloud of Things, embeded and wearable computing
(end the corresponding dynamic systemsl"6) will have widespread and
beneficial effects by 2025,471 As such, it is clear that the IoT will consist of a
vary large number of devices being connected to the Internet (81 In an active
‘move to accommodate new and emerging technological innovation, the UK
Government, in their 2015 budget, allocated £40,000,000 towards research into
the internet of things. The former British Chancellor of the Exchequer George A Nest Learning Thermostat
‘Osbome, posited that the internet of things is the next stage of the information _ reporting on energy usage and local
revolution and referenced the inter-connectivity of everything from urban weather
transport to medical deviees to household appliances |*9]
Integration with the Internet implies that devices will use an IP address as a unique identifier. However, due to the
limited address space of IPv4 (which allows for 4.3 billion unique addresses), objects in the IoT will have to use IPV6
to accommodate the extremely large address space required [S°IISMIS21S81154] Objects in the ToT will not only be
devices with sensory capabilities, but also provide actuation capabilities (e.g., bulbs ot locks controlled over the
Internet) (541 To a large extent, the future of the internet of things will not he possible without the support of IPv6, and
consequently the global adoption of IPv6 in the coming years will be critical for the successful development of the IoT
in the future. 1LS215%154]
‘The ability to network embedded devices with limited CPU, memory and power resources means that [oT finds

information in settings ranging from natural ecosystems to buildings and factories. (54)
thereby finding applications in fields of environmental sensing and urban planning,{°71
On the other hand, [oT systems could also he responsible for performing actions, not
just sensing things. Intelligent shopping systems, for example, could monitor specific
users’ purchasing habits ina store by tracking their specific mobile phones. These users
could then be provided with special offers on their favorite products, or even location of
items that they need, which their fridge has automatically conveyed to the phone {81591
Additional examples of sensing and actuating are reflected in applications that deal with,
heat, electricity and energy management, as well as cruise-assisting transportation
systems,l°l Other applications thatthe internet of things ean provide is enabling
extended home security features and home automation {61 The concept of an “internet
of living things" has been proposed to describe networks of biological sensors that
could use cloud-based analyses to allow users to study DNA or other molecules.!621 All
these advances add to the numerous list of IoT applications. Now with ToT, you can,

However, the application of the loT is not only restricted to these areas, Other specialized use cases of the loT may also
exist. An overview of some of the most prominent application areas is provided here. Based on the application domain,
ToT products can be classified broadly into five different categories: smart wearable, smart home, smart city, smart
environment, and smart enterprise. The loT products and solutions in each of these markets have different
characteristics [64]
Media
In order to hone the manner in which things, media and big deta are interconnected, itis first necessary to provide some
context into the mechanism used for media process. It has been suggested by Nick Couldry and Joseph Turow that
practitioners in media approach big data as many actionable points of information about millions of individuals, The
industry appears to be moving away from the traditional approach of using specific media environments such as
newspapers, magazines, or television shows and instead tap into consumers with technologies that reach targeted
people at optimal timas in optimal locations. The ultimate aim is of course to serve, or convey, a message or content
that is (statistically speaking) in line with the consumer's mindset, For example, publishing environments are
increasingly tailoring messages (advertisements) and content (articles) to appeal to consumers that have been
‘exclusively gleaned through various data-mining activities.[65)
‘The media industries process big data in a dual, interconnected manner’
* Targeting of consumers (for advertising by marketers)
* Data-capture
‘Thus, the internet of things creates an opportunity to measure, collect and analyse an ever-increasing variety of
behavioural statistics. Cross-correlation of this data could revolutionise the targeted marketing of products and
services 661 For example, as noted by Danny Meadows-Klue, the combination of analytics for conversion tracking with
behavioural targeting has unlocked a new level of precision that enables display advertising to be focused on the
devices of people with relevant interests.{67l Big data and the IoT work in conjunction. From a media perspective, data
is the key derivative of device interconnectivity, whilst being pivotal in allowing clearer accuracy in targeting. The
intemet of things therefore transforms the media industry, companies and even governments, opening up a new era of
‘economic growth and competitiveness. (I The wealth of data generated by this industry (ie. big data) will allow
practitioners in advertising and media to gain an elaborate layer on the present targeting mechanisms used by the
industry.

Environmental monitoring
Environmental monitoring applications of the IoT typically use sensors to assist in environmental protection|®] by
‘monitoring air or water quality, (15) atmospheric or soil conditions) and can even include areas like monitoring the
movements of wildlife and their habitats,(7!l Development of resource constrained devices connected to the Internet
also means that other applications like earthquake or tsunami early warning systems can also be used by emergency
services to provide more effective aid. IoT devices in this application typically span a large geographic area and can
also be mobile.(55) tt has been argued that the standardization IoT brings to wireless sensing will revolutionize this
area 721
Subsea
‘The Subsea Intemet of Things, the underwater extension of The Internet of Things, is a network of smart wireless
sensors that, when embedded into underwater objects, allows them to intercommunicate via the cloud. Applications
extend into aquatie sports, envitonmental monitoring and commercial activities.(73)
Infrastructure management
‘Monitoring and controlling operations of urban and rural infrastructures like bridges, railway tracks, on- and offshore-
‘wind-farms is @ key application of the JoT.("4] The loT infrastructure can be used for monitoring. any events or changes
in structural conditions that can compromise safety and increase risk. It can also be used for scheduling repair and
maintenance activities in an efficient manner, by coordinating tasks between different service providers and users of
these facilities 155 loT devices can also be used to control critical infrastructure like bridges to provide access to ships.
Usage of loT devices for monitoring and operating infrastructure is likely to improve incident management and
emergency response coordination, and quality of service, up-times and reduce costs of operation in all infrastructure
related areas.{751 Even areas such as waste management can benefit from automation and optimization that could be
brought in by the ToT [751
Manufacturing
‘Network control and management of manufacturing equipment, asset and situation management, or manufacturing,
process control bring the IoT within the realm on industrial applications and smart manufacturing as well {771 The loT
intelligent systems enable rapid manufacturing of new products, dynamic response to product demands, and real-time
optimization of manufacturing production and supply chain networks, by networking machinery, sensors and control
systems together (551
Digital control systems to automate process controls, operator tools and service information systems to optimize plant
safety and security are within the purview of the ToT!"4I But it also extends itself to asset management via predictive
maintenance, statistical evaluation, and measurements to maximize reliability.(781 Smart industrial management systems
can also be integrated with the Smart Grid, thereby enabling real-time energy optimization, Measurements, automated
controls, plant optimization, health and safety management, and other functions are provided by a large number of
networked sensors [551
‘National Science Foundation established an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on intelligent
‘maintenance systems (IMS) in 2001 with a research focus to use loT-based predictive analytics technologies to monitor
connected machines and to predict machine degradation, and further to prevent potential failures.) The vision to
achieve near-zero breakdown using loT-based predictive analytics led the future development of e-manufacturing and
‘e-maintenance activities, B°)

An IoT-cnabled intelligent system of such cases has been demonstrated by the NSF Industry/University Collaborative
Research Center for Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS) at University of Cincinnati on a band saw machine in
IMTS 2014 in Chicago {#51 Band saw machines are not necessarily expensive, but the band saw belt expenses are
‘enormous since they degrade much faster. However, without sensing and intelligent analytics, it can be only determined
by experience when the band saw belt will actually break. The developed prognostics system will be able to recognize
and monitor the degradation of band saw belts even if the condition is changing, so that users will know in near real
time when is the best time to replace band saw. This will significantly improve user experience and operator safety, and
save costs on replacing band saw belts before they actually break. The developed analytical algorithms were realized on
a cloud server, and was made accessible via the Intemet and on mobile devices. 5]
Energy management
Integration of sensing and actuation systems, connected to the Internet, is likely to optimize energy consumption as @
whole.[55] jt is expected that loT devices will be integrated into all forms of energy consuming devices (switches,
power outlets, bulbs, televisions, etc.) and be able to communicate with the utility supply company in order to
effectively balance power generation and energy usage. 841 Such devices would also offer the opportunity for users to
remotely control their devices, or centrally manage them via a cloud based interface, and enable advanced functions
like scheduling (e.g., remotely powering on or off heating systems, controlling ovens, changing lighting conditions
exc.) [55] In tact, a few systems that allow remote control of electric outlets ate already available in the market, eg.,
Belkin's WeMo.*7] Ambery Remote Power Switch,!§*! Buddertly.!®! Telkonet's BeoGuard,°! WhizNets Ine.,04 ete,
Besides home based energy management, the IoT is especially relevant to the Smart Grid since it provides systems to
gather and act on energy and power-related information in an automated fashion with the goal to improve the
efficiency, reliability, economies, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity.(84) Using advanced
metering infrastructure (AMI devices connected to the Internet backbone, electric utilities can not only collect data
from end-user connections, but also manage other distribution automation devices like transformers and reclosers, 551

chronic patients, helping one manage health vitals and recurring medication requirements
Building and home automation
IoT devices can be used to monitor and control the mechanical, electrical and electronic systems used in various types
of buildings (e.g., public and private, industrial, institutions, or residential)!55I in home automation and building
automation systems
‘Transportation
‘The IoT can assist in integration of communications, control, and information
processing across various transportation systems. Application of the IoT extends to all
aspects of transportation systems (i.e. the vehicle, the infrastructure, and the driver or SPEED
user), Dynamic interaction between these components of a transport system enables
inter and intra vehicular communication, smart trafic control, smart parking, electronic
tll collection systems logistic and flee! management, vhile contol and sty and LIMIT
road assistance [51
Metropolitan scale deployments
‘There are several planned or ongoing large-scale deployments of the IDT, to enable
better management of cities and systems, For example, Songdo, South Korea, the first
of its kind fully equipped and wired smart city, is near completion, Nearly everything in
this city is planned to be wired, connected and tumed into a constant stream of data that
would be monitored and analyzed by an array of computers with litle, or no human

Another application is a currently undergoing project in Santander, Spain. For this deployment, two approaches have
been adopted, This city of 180,000 inhabitants, has already seen 18,000 city application downloads for their
smartphones. This application is connected to 10,000 sensors that enable services like parking search, environmental
monitoring, digital city agenda among others. City context information is used in this deployment so as to benefit
‘merchants through a spark deals mechanism based on city behavior that aims at maximizing the impact of each

Other examples of large-scale deployments underway include the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City: 0°51
work on improving air and water quality, reducing noise pollution, and inereasing transportation efficiency in San Jose,
California:4] and smart traffic management in western Singapore [7] French company, Sigfox, commenced building
an ultra-narrowband wireless data network in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2014, the first business to achieve such a
deployment in the U.S.°5109] [t subsequently announced it would set up @ total of 4000 base stations to cover a total of
30 cities in the L/S. by the end of the 2016, making it the largest IoT network coverage provider in the country thus
far (20011201)
Another example of a large deployment is the one completed by New York Waterways in New York City to connect all,
their vessels and being able to monitor them live 24/7. ‘The network was designed and engineered by Fluidmesh

place, NY Waterway is able to take control of its fleet and passengers in a way that was not previously possible. New
applications can include security, energy and fleet management, digital signage, public Wi-Fi, paperless ticketing and
others, [1021
‘Consumer application
A growing portion of IoT devices are created for consumer use, Examples of consumer applications include connected
cat, entertainment, residences and smart homes, wearable technology, quantified self, connected health, and smart
retail. Consumer IoT provides new opportunities for user experience and interfaces
Some consumer applications have been ctiticized for theit lack of redundancy and their inconsistency, leading to a
popular parody known as the “Internet of Shit."!!"3] Companies have been criticized for their rush into IoT, creating,
devices of questionable valuc,!!°4] and not setting up stringent security standards. (105)
Unique addressability of things
‘The original idea of the Auto-ID Center is based on RFID-tags and unique identification through the Electronic Product
Code however this has evolved into objects having an IP adklress or URI
‘An alternative view, from the world of the Semantic Webl!6I focuses instead on making all things (not just those
electronic, smart, or RFID-enabled) addressable by the existing naming protocols, such as URI. The objects themselves,
do not converse, but they may now be referred to by other agents, such as powerful centralized servers acting for their
human owners.
‘The next generation of Internet applications using Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) would be able to communicate
with devices attached to virtually all human-made objects because of the extremely large address space of the IPv6
protocol. This system would therefore beable to scale to the large numbers of objects envisaged 7)
‘A combination of these ideas can be found in the current GS1/EPCglobal EPC Information Services!!®*] (EPCIS)
specifications. This system is being used to identify objects in industries ranging from aerospace to fast moving
consumer products and transportation logisties 1101

depending on the context, circumstances or environments. Autonomous behavior through the collection and reasoning
of context information as well as the objects ability to detect changes in the environment, faults affecting sensors and
introduce suitable mitigation measures constitute a major research trend,("°] clearly needled to provide credibility to the
IoT technology. Modern IoT products and solutions in the marketplace use a variety of different technologies to support
such context-aware automation but more sophisticated forms of intelligence are requested to permit sensor units to be
deployed in real environments.
Architecture
‘The system will likely be an example of event-driven architecture,(""] bottom-up made (based on the context of
processes and operations, in real-time) and will consider any subsidiary level. Therefore, model driven and functional
approaches will coexist with new ones able to treat exceptions and unusual evolution of processes (multi-agent systems,
B-ADSe, etc.)
In an internet of things, the meaning of an event will not necessarily be based on a deterministic or syntactic model but
‘would instead be based on the context of the event itself: this will also be a semantic web.l112] Consequently, it will not
necessarily need common standards that would not be able to address every context of use: some actors (services,
‘components, avatars) will accordingly be self-referenced and, if ever needed, adaptive to existing common standards
(predicting everything would be no more than defining a "global finality” for everything that is just not possible with
any of the current top-down approaches and standardizations), Some researchers argue that sensor networks are the
‘most essential components of the internet of things. [1131
Building on top of the internet of things, the web of things is an architecture for the application layer of the internet of
things looking at the convergence of data from IoT devices into Web applications to create innovative use-cases, In
order to program and control the flow of information in the internet of things, a predicted architectural direction is
being called BPM Everywhere which is a blending of traditional process management with process mining and special
capabilities to automate the control of large numbers of coordinated devices.
Network architecture

‘The internet of things requires huge scalability in the network space to handle the surge of devices, IETF 6LoWPAN
‘would be used to connect devices to IP networks. With billions af devices!"#] being added to the internet space, IPV6
will play a major role in handling the network layer scalability. IETF's Constrained Application Protocol, MQTT and
ZeroMQ would provide lightweight data transport
Fog computing is a viable alternative to prevent such large burst of data flow through Internet. The edge devices
computation power can be used to analyse and process data, thus providing easy real time scalability.

In semi-open or closed loops (ie, value chains, whenever a global finality can be settled) Jo will often be considered
and studied as a complex system!!!”I due to the huge number of different links, interactions between autonomous
actors, and its capacity to integrate new actors, At the overall stage (full open loop) it will likely be seen as a chaotic
environment (since systems have always finality). As a practical approach, not all elements in the intemet of things run
in a global, public space, Subsystems ate often implemented to mitigate the risks of privacy, control and reliability. For
example, Domestic Robotics (Domotics) running inside a smart home might only share data within and be available via
a local network,
Size considerations
‘The Internet of objects would encode 50 to 100 trillion objects, and be able to follow the movement of those objects,
Human beings in surveyed urban environments are each surrounded by 1000 to 5000 trackable objects.{1181
Space considerations
In an internet of things, the precise geographic location of a thing—and also the precise geographic dimensions of a
thing —will be critical.(!19] Therefore, facts about a thing, such as its location in time and space, have been less critical
to track because the person processing the information can decide whether or not that information was important to the
action being taken, and if so, add the missing information (or decide to not take the action). (Note that some things in
the intemet of things will be sensors, and sensor location is usually important).!2" The GeoWeb and Digital Earth are
promising applications that become possible when things can become organized and connected by location. However,
challenges that remain include the constraints of variable spatial scales, the need to handle massive amounts of data,
and an indexing for fast search and neighbor operations. If in the internet of things, things are able to take actions on
their own initiative, this human-centric mediation role is eliminated, and the time-space context that we as humans take
for granted must be given a central role in this information ecosystem, Just as standards play a key role in the Internet
and the Web, geospatial standards will play a key role in the internet of things.
Sectors
‘There are three core sectors of the IoT: enterprise, home, and government, with the enterprise intemet of things (EIoT)
being the largest of the three. By 2019, the EIoT sector is estimated to account for nearly 40% or 9.1 billion
devices. 1211
A “basket of remotes"
According to the CEO of Cisco, the commercial opportunity for "connected products ranging from cars to household
‘g00ds” is expected to be a SUSD 19 trillion.{!?4] Many IoT devices have a potential to take a piece of this market,
Jean-Louis Gassée (Apple initial alurnni team, and BeOS co-founder) has addressed this topic in an article on Monday
Note,!'31 where he predicts that the most likely problem will be what he calls the "basket of remotes" problem, where
welll have hundreds of applications to interface with hundreds of devices that don't share protocols for speaking with
one another.
‘There are multiple approaches to solve this problem, one of them called the "predictive interaction" 1741 where cloud ot
fog based! decision makers will predict the user's next action anc! trigger some reaction.
For user interaction, new technology leaders are joining forces to create standards for communication between devices
While AllJoyn alliance is composed the top 20 World technology leaders, there are also big companies that promote
their own protocol like CCF from Intel
This problem is also a competitive advantage for some very technical startup companies with fast capabilities,
# AT&T Digital Life provides one solution for the "basket of remotes’ problem. This product features
home-automation and digital-life experiences. It provides a mobile application to control their closed ecosystem,

of branded devices:
= Nuve has developed a new technology based on sensors, a cloud-based platform and a mobile application that
allows the asset management industry to better protect, control and monitor their property.{1251
‘Manufacturers are becoming more conscious of this problem, and many companies have begun releasing their devices
with open APIs. Many of these APIs are used by smaller companies looking to take advantage of quick integration,
Frameworks
Internet-of-things frameworks might help support the interaction between "things” and allow for more-complex
structures like distributed computing and the development of distributed applications. Currently, some internet
‘of-things frameworks seem to focus on real time data logging solutions like Jasper Technologies, Ine. and Xively
(formerly Cosm and before that Pachube): offering some basis to work with many "things and have them interact,
Future developments might lead to specific software-development environments to create the software to work with the
hardware used in the intemet of things. Companies are developing technology platforms to provide this type of
functionality for the internet of things, Newer platforms are being developed, which add more intelligence, Foremost,
IBM has announced cognitive IoT, which combines traditional oT with machine intelligence and learning, contextual
information, industry-specific models and even natural language processing. The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) is,
creating such a framework in a fully open standard that isn tied to any company and not connected to any cloud
services, This XMPP initiative is called Chatty Things.{!25] XMPP provides a set of needed building blocks and a
proven distributed solution that can scale with high security levels,
REST is a scalable architecture which allows for things to communicate over Hypertext Transfer Protocol and is easily
adopted for Io applications to provide communication from a thing to a central web server. MQTT is a publish-
subscribe architecture on top of TCP/IP which allows for bi-directional communication between a thing and a MQTT
broker.
Standards and standards organizations

‘There are many technologies that enable IOT. A key foundation piece is the network used to communicate between
nodes of an [OTT installation, a role that several wireless and/or wired technologies may fulfill-!271{128][129]1130]
1, RFID and near-field communication — In the 20008, RFID was the dominant technology. Later, NFC became
dominant (NFC), NRC have become common in smartphones during the early 2010s, with uses such as reading
‘NEC tags or for access to publie transportation,
2. Rapid developments in the Optical technologies like Li-Fi, Cisco's 40 Gbit/s bidirectional optical technology
Gibil'3) may aid the development of IoT.
3. Optical tags and quick response codes ~ This is used for low cost tagging. Phone cameras decode QR code using
image-processing techniques. In reality QR advertisement campaigns gives less turnout as users need to have
another application to read QR codes
4. Bluetooth low eneray — This is one of the latest tech, All newly releasing smartphones have BLE hardware in
12 of 24
10/13/2016 11:49 PMinternet of things - Wikipedia /hitps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of things
them. Tags based on BLE can signal their presence at a power budget that enables them to operate for up to one
year on a lithium coin cell battery.
5. Low energy wireless IP networks — embedded radio in system-on-a-chip designs, lower power WiFi, sub-GHz
radio in an ISM band, often using a compressed version of IPvé called 6LowPAN and relying on dedicated
routing protocols such as LOADngl!22I standardized by the ITU under the recommendation ITU-T G.9903
(Chetp www. itu. int/rec/T-REC-G.9903/en) and RPL.(133]
6. ZigBee ~ This communication technology is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 2.4 GHz-hand radio protocol to
implement physical and MAC layer for low-rate wireless Private Area Networks, Some of its main characteristies
like low power consumption, low data rate, low cost, and high message throughput make it an interesting [oT
enabler technology.
7. Z-Wave — is a communication protocol that is mostly used in smart home applications. It uses a radio protocol in
the 900 MHz-band.
‘Thread —Like ZigBee, this IoT communication technology relies on the IEEE 802.15 4 2.4 GHz-band radio
protocol. A key difference is that its networking protocol is IPv6-compatible,
9, LTE-Advanced —LTE-A is a high-speed communication specification for mobile networks, Compared to its
original LTE, LTE-A has been improved to have extended coverage, higher throughput and lower latency. One
important application of this technology is Vehicle-io--Vehicle (V2V) communications.
WiFi-Direct - It is essentially WiFi for peer-to-peer communication without needing to have an access point,
This feature attracts IoT applications to be built on top of WiFi-Direct to get benefit from the speed of WiFi while
they experience lower latency.
11, HaLow - Iong range, low-power WiFi, Isn't able to transfer much data (bandwidth), yet sufficient for simple
devices that require a network connection
12, HomePlug ~ This networking standard can be used to enable IOT communication over a home or building's
power lines
13, MoCA ~ This networking standard can be used to enable IOT communication over CATV-type coaxial cable
14, Ethernet — This general purpose networking standard can be used to enable IOT communication over twisted pair
or fiber network links

Simulation
IOT modeling and simulation (end emulation) is typically carried out at the design stage before deployment of the
network. Netwark simulators like OPNET, NetSim and NS2 can be used to simulate IOT networks.
Politics and civic engagement
Some scholars and activists argue that the IoT ean be used to create new models of civic engagement if device networks
‘can be open to user control and inter-operable platforms. Philip N, Howard, a professor and author, writes that political
life in both democracies and authoritarian regimes will be shaped by the way the IoT will be used for civie engagement.
For that to happen, he argues that any connected device should be able to divulge a list of the "ultimate beneficiaries" of
its sensor data, and that individual citizens should be able to add new organizations to the beneficiary list. In addition,
hhe argues that civil society groups need to start developing their IoT strategy for making use of data and engaging with
the public [341
Government Regulation on IoT
One of the key drivers of the 1oT is data, The success of the idea of connecting devices to make them more efficient is,
dependent upon access to and storage & processing of data, For this purpose companies working on IoT. collect data
from multiple sources and store it in their cloud network for further processing. This leaves the door wide open for
privacy and security dangers and single point vulnerability of multiple systems.0}35] The other issues pertain to
consumer choice and ownership of datal!*6l & how it is used. Presently the regulators have shown more interest in
protesting the first three issues identified above.
13 of 24. 10/13/2016 11:49 PMinternet of things - Wikipedia /hitps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of things
Current Regulatory Environment:
A report published by the Federal Trade Commission (PTC) in January 2015 made the following three
recommendations:(!37]
= Data Security — At the time of designing loT companies should ensure that data collection, storage and
processing would be secure at all times. Companies should adopt a “defence in depth” approach and encrypt data
at each stage [138]
* Data consent — users should have a choice as to what data they share with IoT companies and the users must be
informed if their data gets exposed.
* Data minimization —loT companies should collect only the data they need and retain the collected information
only for a limited time,
However, the FTC stopped at just making recommendations for now. According to an FTC analysis, the existing
framework, consisting of the FTC Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act,
along with developing consumer education and business guidance, participation in multi-stakcholder efforts and
advocacy to other agencies at the federal, state and local level, is sufficient to protect consumer rights, 139]
To provide an impetus to the IoT ecosystem, in March 2016, a bipartisan group of four Senators proposed a bill, The
Developing Innovation and Growing the Internet of Things (DIGIT) Act, to direct the Federal Communications
‘Commission to assess the need for more spectrum to connect [oT devices. Furthermore, in March 2015, a resolution
passed by the Senate recognized the need for formulating a National Policy on Io and the mater of privacy, security
and spectrum is already being considered by the Congress,l1441
Several standards for the lo industry are actually being established relating to automobiles because most concerns
arising from use of connected cars apply to healthcare devices as well. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) is preparing cybersecurity guidelines and a database of best practices to make automotive
computer systems more secure.!41]
Criticism and controversies
Platform fragmentation
IoT suffers from platform fragmentation and lack of technical standards|!420143}[4410145](146](147][148) 4 situation where
the variety of loT devices, in terms of both hardware variations and differences inthe software running on them, makes
the task of developing applications that work consistently between different inconsistent technology esosystems
hard.!°1 Customers may be hesitant to bet their IoT future on a proprietary software or hardware devices that uses
proprictary protocols that may fade or become difficult to customize and interconnect {1591
IoT’s amorphous computing nature is a also problem for security, since patches to bugs found in the core operating
system often do not reach users of older and lower-price devices. (1511152111531 One set of researchers say that the failure
of vendors to support older devices with patches and updates leaves more than 87% of active devices vulnerable.
(54)(153)
Privacy, autonomy and control
Philip N. Howard, a professor and author, writes that the internet of things offers immense potential for empowering,
citizens, making government transparent, and broadening information access. Howard cautions, however, that privacy
threats are enormous, as is the potential for social control and political manipulation (1541
Concerns about privacy have led many to consider the possibility that Big Data infrastructures such as the [oT and Data
‘Mining are inherently incompatible with privacy."'57] Writer Adam Greenfield claims that these technologies are not
only an invasion of public space but are also being used to perpetuate normative behavior, citing an instance of
14 of 4. 10/13/2016 11:49 PMinternet of things - Wikipedia /hitps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of things
billboards with hidden cameras that tracked the demographics of passersby who stopped to read the advertisement [158]
‘The Council of the Internet of Things compared the increased prevalence of digital surveillance due to the Internet of
‘Things to the conceptual panopticon described by Jeremy Bentham in the 18th Century.(159] The assertion was
defended by the works of French philosophers Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, Foucault wrote in his novel
Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison that the panopticon was a central element of the discipline society
developed during the Industrial Bra!!! Foucault also argued that the discipline systems established in factories and
school reflected Bentham's vision of panopticism.!16°l In his 1992 paper "Postscripts on the Societies of Control,”
Delueze wrote that the discipline society had transitioned into a control society, with the computer replacing the
panopticon as an instrument of discipline and control while still maintaining the qualities similar to that of
panopticism, (1911
‘The privacy of households could be compromised by solely analyzing smart home network traffic patterns without
dissecting the contents of encrypted application data, yet a synthetic packet injection scheme can be used to safely
‘overcome such invasion of privacy. [1621
Peter-Paull Verbeek, a professor of philosophy of technology at the University of Twente, Netherlands, writes that
technology already influences our moral decision making, which in turn affects human agency, privacy and autonomy.
He cautions against viewing technology merely as a human tool and advocates instead to consider it as an active
agent (61
Justin Brookman, of the Center for Democracy and Technology, expressed concern regarding the impact of IoT on
‘consumer privacy, saying that "There are some people in the commercial space who say. 'Oh, big data — well, let's
collect everything, keep it around forever, we'll pay for somebody to think about security later! The question is whether
‘we want fo have some sort of policy framework in place to limit that."{164]
‘Tim O'Reilly believes that the way companies sell the lo’ devices on consumers are misplaced, disputing the notion
that the IoT is about gaining efficiency from putting all kinds of devices online and postulating that "ToT is really about
human augmentation. The applications are profoundly different when you have sensors and data driving the decision-
making "(1651
Editorials at WIRED have also expressed concern, one stating "What you'te about to lose is your privacy, Actually, it's
‘worse than that. You aren't just going to lose your privacy, you're going to have to watch the very concept of privacy be
rewritten under your nose."1166]
‘The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) expressed concern regarding the ability of IoT to erode people's control
over their own lives, The ACLU wrote that "There's simply no way to forecast how these immense powers —
disproportionately accumulating in the hands of corporations seeking financial advantage and governments craving
‘ever more control — will be used. Chances are Big Data and the Intemet of Things will make it harder for us to control
‘our own lives, as we grow increasingly transparent to powerful corporations and government institutions that are
becoming more opaque to us."11671
Researchers have identified privacy challenges faced by all stakcholders in IoT domain, from the manufacturers and
app developers to the consumers themselves, and examined the responsibility of each party in order to ensure user
privacy at all times. Problems highlighted by the report!1®§] include:
User consent — somehow, the report says, users need to be able to give informed consent to data collection. Users,
however, have limited time and technical knowledge.
«= Freedom of choice — both privacy protections and underlying standards should promote freedom of choice.
# Anonymity —IoT platforms pay scant attention to user anonymity when transmitting data, the researchers note.
Future platforms could, for example, use TOR or similar technologies sa that users ean't he too deeply profiled
based on the behaviors of their "things"
In response to rising concerns about privacy and smart technology. in 2007 the British Government stated it would
15 of 24. 10/13/2016 11:49 PMinternet of things - Wikipedia /hitps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of things
follow formal Privacy by Design principles when implementing their smart metering program. The program would lead
to replacement of traditional power meters with smart power meters, which could track and manage energy usage more
accurately.) However the British Computer Society is doubtful these principles were ever actually implemented.(179)
In 2009 the Dutch Parliament rejected a similar smart metering program, basing their decision on privacy concems. The
Dutch program later revised and passed in 2011.74)
Security
Concerns have been raised that the internet of things is being developed rapidly without appropriate consideration of
the profound security challenges involvedl!71I and the regulatory changes that might be necessary.72] According to
the Business Insider Intelligence Survey conducted in the last quarter of 2014, 39% of the respondents said that security
is the biggest concern in adopting internet-of-things technology.73) In particular, as the internet of things spreads
‘dely, cyber attacks are likely to become an inereasingly physical (rather than simply virtual) threat.(1741 In a January
2014 anticle in Forbes, cybersecurity columnist Joseph Steinberg listed many Internet-connected! appliances that can
already "spy on people in their own homes” including televisions, kitchen appliances,"75] cameras, and.
thermostats.[74 Open problems for smart home/building security were summarized by Wendzel in 2016,(77]
Computer-controlled devices in automobiles such as brakes, engine, locks, hood and truck releases, hom, heat, and
dashboard have been shown to be vulnerable to attackers who have access to the onboard network. In some cases,
vehicle computer systems are internet-connected, allowing them to be exploited remotely.!!78] By 2008 security
researchers had shown the ability to remotely control pacemakers without authority, Later hackers demonstrated remote
control of insulin pumps [179] and implantable cardioverter defibrillators.(18"1 David Pogue wratel!!I that some
recently published reports about hackers remotely controlling certain functions of automobiles were not as serious as,
‘one might otherwise guess because of various mitigating circumstances: such as the bug that allowed the hack having
‘been fixed hefore the report was published, or that the hack required security researchers having physical access to the
car prior to the hack to prepare for it,
‘The U.S. National Intelligence Council in an unclassified report maintains that it would be hard to deny "access to
networks of sensors and remotely-controlled objects by enemies of the United States, criminals, and mischief makers.
An open market for aggregated! sensor cata could serve the interests of commerce and security no less than it helps
criminals and spies identify vulnerable targets. Thus, massively parallel sensor fusion may undermine social cohesion,
if it proves to be fundamentally incompatible with Fourth-Amendment guarantees against unreasonable search."{182] In
general, the intelligence community views internet of things as a rich source of data |!831
‘Asa response to increasing concerns over security, the Internet of Things Security Foundation (IoTSF) was launched
(0n 23 September 2015, ToTSF has a mission to secure the internet of things by promoting knowledge and best practice.
Its founding board is made from technology providers and telecommunications companies including BT, Vodafone,
Imagination Technologies and Pen Test Partners, [1411185]
Design
Given widespread recognition of the evolving nature of the design and management of the intemet of things,
sustainable and secure deployment of internet-of-things solutions must design for "anarchic scalability."!84
Application of the concept of anarchie scalability can be extended to physical systems (Le. controlled real-world
objects), by virtue of those systems being designed to account for uncertain management futures. This "hard anarchic
scalability” thus provides a pathway forward to fully realize the potential of internet-of-things solutions by selectively
constraining phy'sical systems to allow for all management regimes without risking physical failure
Brown University computer scientist Michael Littman has argued that suecessful execution of the internet of things
requires consideration of the interface's usability as well as the technology itself. These interfaces need to be not only
more user-friendly but also better integrated: "I users need to leam different interfaces for their vacuums, their locks,
their sprinklers, their lights, and their coffeemakers, it's tough to say that their lives have been made any easier "1187

Environmental sustainability impact
A concern regarding [oT technologies pertains to the environmental impacts of the manufacture, use, and eventual
disposal of all these semiconductor-rich devices.|'88] Modem electronics are replete with a wide variety of heavy
‘metals and rare-earth metals, as well as highly toxic synthetic chemicals. This makes them extremely difficult to
properly recycle, Electronic components are often incinerated or placed in regular landfills. Furthermore, the human
and environmental cost of mining the rare-earth metals that are integral to modern electronic components continues to
gt0W. With production of electronic equipment growing globally yet litle of the metals (from end-of-life equipment)
being recovered for reuse, the environmental impacts can be expected to increase.
Also, because the concept of IoT entails adding electronics to mundane devices (for example, simple light switches).
and because the major driver for replacement of electronic components is often technological obsolescence rather than
actual failure to function, it is reasonable to expect that items that previously were kept in service for many decades
‘would see an accelerated replacement cycle, if they were part of the IoT. For example, a traditional house built with 30
light switches and 30 electrical outlets might stand for SO years, with all those components still original at the end of
that period. But a modern house built with the same number of switches and outlets set up for IoT might see each
switch and outlet replaced at five-year intervals, in order to keep up-to-date with technological changes. This translates
into a ten-fold increase in waste requiring disposal.
Intentional obsolescence of devices
‘The Blectronic Frontier Foundation has raised concems that companies can use the technologies necessary to support
connected devices to intentionally disable or "brick" their customers’ devices via a remote software update or by
disabling a service necessary to the operation of the device. In one example, home automation devices sold with the
promise of a "Lifetime Subscription" were rendered useless after Nest Labs acquired Revolv and made the decision to
shut down the central servers the Revoly devices had used to operate.l181 As Nest is a company owned by Alphabet,
(Google's parent company), the EFF argues this sets a "terrible precedent for a company with ambitions to sell
self-driving cars, medical devices, and other high-end gadgets that may be essential to a person's livelihood or physical
safety."1199)
‘Owners should be free to point their devices to a different server or collaborate on improved software, But such action
violates the United States DMCA section 1201, that only has an exemption for "local use”. This forces tinkerers that,
want to keep using their own equipment into a legal grey area. EFF thinks buyers should refuse electronics and
software that prioritize the manufacturer's wishes above their own.(1%°l
Examples of post sale manipulations include Google Nest Revolv, disabled privacy settings on Android, Sony disabling
GNUVLinux on PlayStation 3, enforced EULA on Wii UL!)
Trivia
Kevin Ashton, the originator of the term "Intemet of Things", revealed to the BBC that he now wishes he had phrased
ToT as the "Internet for Things” {1911
