In this article we will explore various web connectivity technologies and protocols that allow the connected devices in IoT to transfer data to the cloud and receive commands or data back. Data from connected devices route over the web in two types of communication environments as given below: Unconstrained environment web applications use HTTP […]
In the network layer or communication layer of the IoT system architecture, one or more communication technologies, either wired or wireless are used to collect the data, process the data and transfer the data to the cloud layer. In this article, let’s understand the basics of networking or the networking technologies used in IoT for […]
Information collected from sensors at multiple heterogeneous sources can lead to knowledge discovery after analysis and data visualisation. Participatory Sensing (PS) is defined as the process whereby individuals and communities use mobile phones and cloud services to collect and analyse systematic data for use in the discovery. Participants in the PS can be […]
