Although the Internet of Things (IoT) will play a key role in the development of next generation information, network, and communication technologies, many are still unclear about what makes IoT different from similar concepts.
Answering fundamental questions about IoT architectures and models,
Unit and Ubiquitous Internet of Things
introduces essential IoT concepts from the perspectives of mapping and interaction between the physical world and the cyber world. It addresses key issues such as strategy and education, particularly around unit and ubiquitous IoT technologies. Supplying a new perspective on IoT, the book covers emerging trends and presents the latest progress in the field. It also:
Outlines a fundamental architecture for future IoT together with the IoT layered model
Describes various topological structures, existence forms, and corresponding logical relationships
Establishes an IoT technology system based on the knowledge of IoT scientific problems
Provides an overview of the core technologies, including basic connotation, development status, and open challenges
The book examines ubiquitous sensing, networking, and communications, as well as information management involved in unit IoT. It describes global IoT applications and includes coverage of ubiquitous, local, industrial, national, and transnational IoT. Presenting detailed case studies that illustrate various application scenarios, the text considers the main IoT supporting technologies including resource management, loop control in actuation, session management, space-time consistency, security and privacy, energy management, spectrum management, nanotechnology, quantum technology, and big data.
