IoT Architecture

• Challenges and requirements of IoT systems have driven a whole new discipline
of network architecture.

• Two of the best-known architectures are those supported by oneM2M and the
IoT World Forum (IoTWF)
The oneM2M IoT Standardized Architecture

• The goal of oneM2M is to create a common services layer, which can


be readily embedded in field devices to allow communication with
application servers.

• Includes smart metering applications, smart grid, smart city


automation, e-health, and connected vehicles.
• The oneM2M architecture divides IoT functions into three major domains: the
application layer, the services layer, and the network layer.

• Applications layer: The oneM2M architecture gives major attention to connectivity


between devices and their applications. This domain includes the application-layer
protocols.

• Services layer: At this layer, horizontal modules include the physical network that the IoT
applications run on, the underlying management protocols, and the hardware.

• Network layer: This is the communication domain for the IoT devices and endpoints. It
includes the devices themselves and the communications network that links them.
• Example: wireless mesh technologies, such as IEEE 802.15.4, and wireless point-to-
multipoint systems, such as IEEE 801.11ah.
The IoT World Forum (IoTWF) Standardized
Architecture
• In 2014 the IoTWF architectural committee (led by Cisco, IBM,
Rockwell Automation,and others) published a seven-layer IoT
architectural reference model.
• Layer 1: Physical Devices and Controllers Layer:
• The first layer of the IoT Reference Model is the physical devices and controllers layer. This layer is
home to the “things” in the Internet of Things, including the various endpoint devices and sensors
that send and receive information. The size of these “things” can range from almost microscopic
sensors to giant machines in a factory.

• Layer 2: Connectivity Layer:


• In the second layer of the IoT Reference Model, the focus is on connectivity. The most important
function of this IoT layer is the reliable and timely transmission of data.
• More specifically, this includes transmissions between Layer 1 devices and the network and
between the network and information processing that occurs at Layer 3 (the edge computing
layer).
• Layer 3: Edge Computing Layer:
• Edge computing is the role of Layer 3. Edge computing is often
referred to as the “fog” layer.
• Layer 3 Functions:
• Evaluate and Reformat Data for Processing at Higher Levels
• Filter Data to Reduce Traffic Higher Level Processing
• Assess Data for Alerting, Notification, or Other Actions
• Upper Layers: Layers 4–7:
IoT Reference Model Layer Functions
Layer 4: Data accumulation Captures data and stores it so it is usable by
layer applications when necessary. Converts event-
based data to query-based processing.
Layer 5: Data abstraction layer Reconciles multiple data formats and ensures
consistent semantics from various sources.
Confirms that the data set is complete and
consolidates data into one place or multiple data
stores using virtualization.
Layer 6: Applications layer Interprets data using software applications.
Applications may monitor, control, and provide
reports based on the analysis of the data.
Layer 7: Collaboration and Consumes and shares the application information.
processes layer Collaborating on and communicating IoT
information often requires multiple steps, and it is
what makes IoT useful. This layer can change
business processes and delivers the benefits of
IoT.
