What is Internet of Things (IoT)?
Definition, history and features of IoT.
This chapter describes some important highlights in the history of the IoT (Internetof things). Nowadays,
the internet-based information architecture allows the exchange of services and goods between all
elements, equipment and objects connected to the network. The IoT refers to the networked
interconnection of those everyday objects, which are often equipped with some kind of intelligence. In
this context, Internet can be also a platform for devices to communicate electronically and share
information and specific data with the world around them. So, IoT can beseen as a real evolution of what
we know as Internet by adding more extensive interconnectivity, a better perception of the information
and more comprehensive smart services. For the most part, the Internet was used for connection-
oriented application protocols like HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol). However, nowadays a large number of smart devices communicate between
themselves and to other control systems. This concept is known as M2M (Machine-to-Machine
communications).

IoT (Internet of things) is an emerging global Internet-based technical architecturefacilitating the exchange of
goods and services in global supply chain networks hasan impact on the security and privacy of the involved
stakeholders

Some highlights in the IoT history are the following:

 The term Internet of Things was first used by Kevin Ashton in 1999 that was working
in the field of networked RFID (radio frequency identification) and emerging sensing
technologies.

 However, IoT was “born” sometime between 2008 and 2009 .

 In 2010, the number of everyday physical objects and devices connected to the
Internet was around 12.5 billion. Nowadays there are about 25 billion of devices
connected to the IoT. More or less a smart device per person .

 The number of smart devices or “things” connected to the IoT is expected to increase
to a further 50 billion by 2020.

The IoT introduces a step change in individuals’ quality of life by offering a lot of new
opportunities to data access, specific services in education, security, health care or
transportation among others. On the other hand, it will be a key to increase enterprises’
productivity by offering a widely distributed, locally intelligent network of smart devices
and new services that can be personalized to customer needs. The IoT brings benefits
from improved management and tracking of assets and products, it increases the amount
of information data and allows the optimization of equipment and use of resources that
can be translated into costs saving. Moreover, it offers the opportunity to create new
smart interconnected devices and explore new business models.

 Introduction
The IoT can be seen as a combination of sensors and actuators providing and receiving information
that is digitalized and placed into bidirectional networks able to transmit all data to be used by a lot of
different services and final users

Multiple sensors can be attached to an object or device in order to measure a broad range of physical
variables or phenomena and then transmit all data to the cloud. The sensing can be understood as a
service model.

The architecture of IoT systems can be divided into four layers: Object sensing layer, data exchange
layer, information integration layer, and application service layer .

Smart devices can be already connected through traditional Internet. However, the IoT incorporates the
sensing layer which reduces the requirements on the capability of those devices and enables the
interconnection among them. Sensor data consumers communicate with sensors or sensor owner’s
through the information integration layer that is responsible of all the communication and transactions.
Meanwhile, new requirements and challenges to data exchange, information filtering and integration,
definition of new services to users, as well as the complexity of the network architecture Moreover, the
use of cloud technologies is exponentially growing. New infrastructure platforms and software
applications are offered in the frame of the IoT. Some of the major advantages and benefits of the IoT
will be the creation of innovative services with improved performance and value added solutions along
with the reduction of data acquisition costs of existing services and the opportunity to create new
revenue streams in a context of a sustainable business model. These applications can be oriented to
consumers, business, commercials, and survey activities, industrial and scientific community by
harnessing the application developers.

IoT market

The IoT is an emerging global Internet-based technical architecture facilitating the exchange of goods in
a global supply-chain network [1]. As the technology trend shifts towards providing faster data rates and
lower latency connectivity the Internet is expected to double in size every 5.3 years and cloud computing
can play a key role in that growing. Cloud computing is one of the enabling platforms to support IoT.
Most “things” of the real world will be integrated into the virtual world by enabling anytime, anywhere
full connectivity.

Cloud computing is a model for enabling access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources
by allowing users to take benefit from all existing technologies, without the need for deep knowledge
about or expertise with each oneof them

In 2010, the number of everyday physical objects and devices connected to the Internet was around 12.5
billion. This number is expected to double to 25 billion in2015 as the number of more smart devices per
person increases, and to a further 50billion by 2020.

Applications
The number of applications and services that can provide IoT is practically unlimited and can be
adapted to many fields of human activity by facilitating and enhancing their quality of life in multiple
ways. This chapter gives a short list of applications and services based on IoT. However, it is just a
limited description in order to understand all possible new applications and services that IoT could
provide. An estimated value about $19 trillion by 2020 is expected to be achieved by IoT applications

Enabling technologies
Successful application of the IoT concept into the real world is possible thanks to advancements in
underlying technologies. In this section the most relevant enabling technologies will be stated with the
aim to provide a picture of the role they will likely play in the IoT [6, 7].

Energy

Power and energy storage technologies are enablers for the deployment of IoT applications. Energy
issues, in all its phases, from harvesting to conservation and usage, are central to the development of the
IoT. These technologies have to provide high power-density energy generation and harvesting solutions
which, when used with today’s low power nanoelectronics, will enable us to design self-powered
intelligent sensor-based wireless identifiable device. There is still a need to researchand develop solutions
in this area (nanoelectronics, semiconductor, sensor technology, micro systems integration) having as
an objective ultra low power devices, and more efficient and compact energy storage like batteries, fuel
cells, and printed/polymer batteries, as current devices seem inadequate considering the processing
power needed and energy limitations of the future. In addition, system integration will increase
efficiency of current systems, and will provide a number of solutions for the future needs.

10
Cloud computing
Cloud computing is a model for on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable resources (e.g.,
computers, networks, servers, storage, applications, services, software) that can be provisioned as
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or Software as a Service (SaaS). One of the most important outcomes
of the IoT is an enormous amount of data generated from devices connected to the Internet [7]. Many
IoT applications require massive data storage, huge processing speed to enable real time decision making,
and high-speed broadband networks to stream data, audio, or video. Cloud computing provides an ideal
back-end solution for handling huge data streams and processing them for the unprecedented number of
IoT devices and humans in real time.

Integration

Integration of smart devices into packaging, or better, into the products themselves will allow a
significant cost saving and increase the Eco friendliness of products. The use of integration of chips and
antennas into non-standard substrates like textiles and paper, and the development of new substrates,
conducting paths and bonding materials adequate for harsh environments and for ecologically sound
disposal will continue. System-in-Package (SiP) technology allows flexible and 3D integration of
different elements such as antennas, sensors, active and passive components into the packaging,
improving performance and reducing the tag cost. RFID inlays with a strap coupling structure are used to
connect the integrated circuitchip and antenna in order to produce a variety of shapes and sizes of labels,
insteadof direct mounting.
Sensors

Sensors are one of the key building blocks of the Internet of Things. As ubiquitous systems, they can be
deployed everywhere. They can also be implanted under human skin, in a purse or on a T-shirt. Some
can be as small as four millimetres in size, but the data they collect can be received hundreds of miles
away. They complement human senses and have become indispensable in a large number of industries,
from health care to construction. Sensors have the key advantage that they can anticipate human needs
based on information collected about their context. Their intelligence multiplied by numerous networks
allows them not only to report about external environment, but also to take action without human
intervention.

Miniaturized silicon chips are designed with new capabilities in smaller form factors and better
processing performance and efficiency. Costs are falling, following the Moore’s Law. The cost of
bandwidth has also declined and similarly the processing costs, enabling more devices to be not just
connected, but smart enough to know what to do with all the new data they are generating or receiving.

Capabilities such as context awareness and inter-machine communication areconsidered a high priority
for the IoT. Additional priorities are the integration of memory and processing power, the capacity of
resisting harsh environments, and an affordable security. Furthermore, the development of ultra low
power processors/microcontrollers cores designed specifically for mobile IoT devices anda new class of
simple and affordable IoT-centric smart systems will be an enablingfactor. The solutions in this respect
will range from micro programmed finite state machines to the use of microcontrollers. The choice is a
trade-off between flexibility, programmability, silicon area, and power consumption. The devices
require some form of non-volatile storage (EEPROM/FRAM/Polymer), independent of whether this
will be laser trimmed at the time of manufacture, one time programmable, or electrically rewritable.
Rewritable non-volatile memory is clearly preferred for achieving high throughput during production
test, and allows concurrently the benefit of user memory, programmability and storage of sensor data.

11
Communication

New, smart multi frequency band antennas, integrated on-chip and made of new materials are the
communication means that will enable the devices tocommunicate. On-chip antennas must be optimized
for size, cost and efficiency, and could come in various forms like coil on chip, printed antennas,
embedded antennas, and multiple antenna using different substrates and 3D structures. Modulation
schemes and transmission speed are also important issues to be tackledallowing multi-frequency energy
efficient communication protocols and transmission rates. The communication protocols will be designed
for Web orientedarchitectures of the IoT platform where all objects, wireless devices, cameras, PCs etc.
are combined to analyze location, intent and even emotions over a network. New methods of effectively
managing power consumption at different levels of the network design are needed, from network routing
down to the architecture of individual devices.
Standards
IoT devices are quite diverse and measure different parameters and with different conventions and units
of measure. Though competing proprietary protocols keep getting proposed, it is likely that open source
standards will be one of the ways to get this data to interoperate.

Clearly, open standards are key enablers for the success of wireless communication technologies and, in
general, for any kind of Machine-to-Machine communication. However, the need for faster setting of
interoperable standards has been recognised an important element for IoT applications deployment.
Clarification on the requirements for a unique global identification, naming and resolver is needed.
Lack of convergence of the definition of common reference models, reference architecture for the
Future Networks, Future Internet and IoT and integration of legacy systems and networks is a challange
that has to be addressed in the future.

Future of IoT
It is possible to identify, for the years to come, four distinct macro-trends that will shape the future of
internet technologies, together with the explosion of ubiquitousdevices that constitute the future Internet
of Things :

1. The first one, sometimes referred as “exaflood” or “data deluge”, is the explosion of
the amount of data collected and exchanged. As current networks are ill-suited for this
exponential traffic growth, there is a need by all the actors to re-think current
networking and storage architectures. It will be imperative to find novel ways and
mechanisms to find, fetch, and transmit data. One relevant reason for this data deluge
is the explosion in the number of devices collecting and exchanging information as
envisioned as the Internet of Things becomes a reality.
2. The energy required to operate the intelligent devices will dramatically decrease.
Already today many data centers have reached the maximum level of energy
consumption and the acquisition of new devices has necessarily to follow the
dismissal of old ones. Therefore, the second trend can be identified covering all
devices and systems from the tiniest smart dust to the huge data centers: the search
for a zero level of entropy where the device or system will have to harvest its own
energy.

3. Miniaturization of devices is also taking place amazingly fast. The objective of a

single-electron transistor is getting closer, which seems the ultimate limit, at least
until new discoveries in physics.

4. Another important trend is towards autonomic resources. The ever growing

complexity of systems will be unmanageable, and will hamper the creation of new
services and applications, unless the systems will show self- properties, such as self-
management, self-healing and self-configuration.
12
Challenges and barriers of IoT
Many challenging issues still need to be addressed. Addressing these challenges enables service providers
and application programmers to implement their servicesefficiently. In the following paragraphs, we
provide a brief discussion of the main challenges faced in the development and deployment phases of the
IoT
Barriers
But there are also existing barriers for the IoT, especially in the field of regulations, security and safety.
Main goal is to better protect the privacy of people and force companies to establish secure ways to
manage data and information [8, 9].

Absence of Governance
One major barrier for the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things technology is the absence of
governance. Without an impartial governing authority it will be impossible to have a truly global IoT,
accepted by states, companies, trade organizations and the common people. Today there is not a unique
universal numbering scheme: EPCglobal and the Ubiquitous Networking Lab propose two different,
non-compatible ways of identifying objects and there is the risk to have them competing in the coming
future over the global market. There is also the need of keeping governance as generic as possible, as
having one authority per application field will certainly lead to overlap, confusion and competition
between standards. Objects can have different identities in different contexts so having multiple
authorities would create a kind of multi-homing, which can lead todisastrous results.

Privacy and Security

In order to have a widespread adoption of any object identification system, there is a need to have a
technically sound solution to guarantee privacy and the security of the customers. While in many cases
the security has been done as an add-on feature, it is the feeling that the public acceptance for the Internet
of Things will happen only when the strong security and privacy solutions are in place. In particular,
attacks have to be intercepted, data authenticated, access controlled and the privacy of customers (natural
and legal persons) guaranteed. This could be hybrid security mechanisms that for example combine
hardware security with key diversification to deliver superior security that makes attacks significantly
more difficult or even impossible. The selection of security features and mechanisms will continue to be
determined by the impact on business processes; and trade-offs will be made between chip size, cost,
functionality, interoperability, security, and privacy.

The security and privacy issues should be addressed by the forthcoming standards which must define
different security features to provide confidentiality, integrity, or availability services.

There are also a range of issues related to the identity of people. These must be dealt with in politics and
legislation, and they are of crucial importance for the efficient public administrations of the future.

13
Challenges

Reliability
Reliability aims to increase the success rate of IoT service delivery. It has a close relationship with
availability as by reliability, we guarantee the availability of information and services over time.
Reliability is even more critical and has more stringent requirements when it comes to the field of
emergency response applications. In these systems, the critical part is the communication network which
must be resilient to failures in order to realize reliable information distribution. Reliability must be
implemented in software and hardware throughout all the IoT layers. In order to have an efficient IoT,
the underlying communication must be reliable, because for example by an unreliable perception, data
gathering, processing, and transmission can lead to long delays, loss of data, and eventually wrong
decisions, which can lead to disastrous scenarios and can consequently makethe IoT less dependable.

Performance
Evaluating the performance of IoT services is a big challenge since it depends on the performance of
many components as well as the performance of the underlying technologies. The IoT, like other
systems, needs to continuously develop and improve its services to meet requirements of customers. The
IoT devices need to be monitored and evaluated to provide the best possible performance at an
affordable price for customers. Many metrics can be used to assess the performance of the IoT including
the processing speed, communication speed, device form factor, and cost.

Performance evaluation of the individual underlying protocols and technologies, application layer
protocols, and QoS have been reported in the literature, but the lack of a thorough performance
evaluation for IoT applications is still an open issue.

Interoperability
End-to-end interoperability is another challenge for the IoT due to the need to handle a large number of
heterogeneous things that belong to different platforms. Interoperability should be considered by both
application developers and IoT device manufactures to ensure the delivery of services for all customers
regardless of the specifications of the hardware platform that they use. For example, most of the
smartphones nowadays support common communication technologies such as WiFi, NFC, and GSM to
guarantee the interoperability in different scenarios. Also, programmers of the IoT should build their
applications to allow for adding new functions without causing problems or losing functions while
maintaining.
integration with different communication technologies. Consequently, interoperability is
a significant criterion in designing and building IoT services to meet requirements of customers. Beside
variety of protocols, different interpretations of the same standard implemented by different parties
presents a challenge for interoperability. To avoid such ambiguities, interoperability testing between
different products in a test-bed like ETSI Plugtests would be helpful. PROBE-IT is a research project
that aims to ensure the interoperability of validatedIoT solutions that conducted interoperability tests like
CoAP, 6LoWPAN, and IoT semantic interoperability.

It is a known fact that two different devices might not be interoperable, even if they are following the
same standard. This is a major showstopper for wide adoption of IoT technologies. Future tags must
integrate different communication standards andprotocols that operate at different frequencies and allow
different architectur es, centralised or distributed, and be able to communicate with other networks
unless global, well defined standards emerge.

14
Security and Privacy
Security presents a significant challenge for the IoT implementations due to the lack of common
standard and architecture for the IoT security. In heterogeneous networks as in the case of the
IoT, it is not easy to guarantee the security and privacyof users. The core functionality of the IoT
is based on the exchange of information between billions or even trillions of Internet connection
objects. One open problem in IoT security that has not been considered in the standards is the
distribution of the keys amongst devices. On the other hand, privacy issues and profile access
operations between IoT devices without interferences are extremely critical. Still, securing data
exchanges is necessary to avoid losing or compromising privacy. The increased number of smart
things around us with sensitive data necessitates a transparent and easy access control
management in such a way that for example one vendor can just read the data while another is
allowed to control the device. In this regard, some solutions have been proposed such as
grouping embedded devices into virtual networks and only present desired devices within each
virtual network. Another approach is to support access control in the application layer on a per-
vendor basis.

Management
The connection of billions or trillions of smart devices presents service providers with daunting issues to
manage the Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security (FCAPS) aspects of these
devices. This management effort necessitates the development of new light-weight management
protocols to handlethe potential management nightmare that will potentially stem from the deployment of
the IoT in the coming years. Managing IoT devices and applications can be an effective factor for
growing the IoT deployments. For example, monitoring the M2M communication of the IoT objects is
important to ensure all times connectivity for providing on demand services. The Light-weight M2M
(LWM2M) is a standard that is being developed by the Open Mobile Alliance to provide interface
between M2M devices and M2M Servers to build an application agnostic scheme for the management
of a variety of devices. It aims to provide M2M
.
applications with remote management capabilities of machine-to-machine devices, services, and
applications. The NETCONF Light protocol is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) effort for the
management of constrained devices provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the
configuration of network devices. It is capable of managing a broad range of devices from resource-
constrained to resource-rich devices. The independently developed MASH IoT Platform is an example
of a platform that facilitates the management (monitoring, control, and configuration) of IoT assets
anywhere in real-time using an IoT dashboard on smartphones. Maintaining compatibility across the IoT
layers also needs to be managed to enhance connectivity speed and to ensure service delivery. The Open
Mobile Alliance (OMA) Device Management working group is specifying protocols and mechanisms
for the management of mobile devices and services in resource constrained environments.

Manufacturing
Manufacturing challenges must be convincingly solved. Costs must be lowered to less than one
cent per passive RFID tag, and production must reach extremely high volumes, while the whole
production process must have a very limited impact on the environment, be based on strategies
for reuse and recycling considering the overall life-cycle of digital devices and other products
that might be tagged or sensor-enabled.

15

improved sound quality and broadcast audio for sharing audio streams with multiple devices. The development
of Bluetooth Mesh extends Bluetooth capabilities to larger-scale networks, making it suitable for smart
buildings and industrial applications. Bluetooth technology has revolutionized the way we connect devices,
providing a versatile and user-friendly wireless communication solution. Its continuous evolution and
widespread adoption make it a cornerstone of modern wireless connectivity.
