Wireless Communication Applications in Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet platform is developing fast, and new concepts are coming out all the time. The internet backbone is the tie for connecting Things-to-Thing (T2T), Human-to-Thing (H2T) and Human-to-Human (H2H) connection network. Hence, the more general term of the Internet of Things has been presented. In this thesis, the general concept of the Internet of Things has been presented. Moreover, some important protocols inherited from the Internet are given. Furthermore, some major communication technologies that are strong candidate to be used in the Internet of Things have been discussed. In addition, cognitive IoT system has been revealed to organize the whole concept of the Internet of Things and the final goal to achieve in Internet of Things. As case study, there will be a sample application for the Internet of Things. In this application, it presents us how this IoT technology would interact with our life. The sensor simulator will generate all the data for the temperature and humidity. Later on, the data would be transmitting to the IBM Watson IoT platform through the wireless communication. The platform will allow us to create a standard to judge the data. When the data reach the limits, then the platform will send a tweet to warn the user. In the end, this thesis would give you a general understanding of the Internet of Things. The interaction between human and machine will be revealed. Moreover, the cognitive IoT should also give reader a general understanding with the development of IoT.
