Architecture of Internet of Things (Iot)

The document discusses the basic 4-stage architecture of the Internet of Things (IoT). It describes each layer including the sensing layer with sensors and actuators, the network layer with gateways and data acquisition, the data processing layer for analyzing and preprocessing data, and the application layer where data is accessed by software applications.

Architecture of Internet of Things (IoT)

Internet of Things (IoT) technology has a wide variety of applications and use of Internet of
Things is growing so faster. Depending upon different application areas of Internet of Things, it
works accordingly as per it has been designed/developed. But it has not a standard defined
architecture of working which is strictly followed universally. The architecture of IoT depends
upon its functionality and implementation in different sectors. Still, there is a basic process flow
based on which IoT is built.

So. here in this article we will discuss basic fundamental architecture of IoT i.e., 4 Stage IoT
architecture.

So, from the above image it is clear that there is 4 layers are present that can be divided as
follows: Sensing Layer, Network Layer, Data processing Layer, and Application Layer.
These are explained as following below.

1. Sensing Layer –
Sensors, actuators, devices are present in this Sensing layer. These Sensors or Actuators
accepts data(physical/environmental parameters), processes data and emits data over
network.
2. Network Layer –
Internet/Network gateways, Data Acquisition System (DAS) are present in this layer.
DAS performs data aggregation and conversion function (Collecting data and aggregating
data then converting analog data of sensors to digital data etc). Advanced gateways which
mainly opens up connection between Sensor networks and Internet also performs many
basic gateway functionalities like malware protection, and filtering also some times
decision making based on inputted data and data management services, etc.
3. Data processing Layer –
This is processing unit of IoT ecosystem. Here data is analyzed and pre-processed before
sending it to data center from where data is accessed by software applications often
termed as business applications where data is monitored and managed and further actions
are also prepared. So here Edge IT or edge analytics comes into picture.
4. Application Layer –
This is last layer of 4 stages of IoT architecture. Data centers or cloud is management
stage of data where data is managed and is used by end-user applications like agriculture,
health care, aerospace, farming, defense, etc.
