2. This Week’s Agenda
Monday IoT Standards Overview Tuesday Device Standards Wednesday Communication Standards Thursday System Standards Friday Future Directions

3. Course Description
The Internet of Things (IoT) is dynamic and growing by leaps and bounds.
Standards will help in sustaining this growth.
Standards are key to efficiently melding together many devices and systems from multiple vendors.
The IoT consists of a multilayer architecture of devices and systems connected in complex networks.
We will look at the types of standards developed, or being developed, by standards bodies, concentrating on the IEEE.

4. Today’s Agenda Overview Sensor Networks Internet
Organization Standards
Industry Group Standards
Internet
Public vs Industrial

5. Overview The Internet of Things has three major parts: Internet Things
Communications
Back-end services
Internet
Much more than the WWW
Global Internet
Connected everywhere
Local use of Internet Prorocol
E.g., Industrial

6. Overview Standards Existing standards tend to be generic
Need for IoT specific aspects
IEEE lists many standards areas
Wireless standards for low rate personal area networks
Local and metropolitan area networks
Power system signaling and Utility Industry metering
Wireless Access in Vehicular Network (WAVE)
Home networks

7. Layering Concept

8. General Architecture

9. General Architecture

10. Sensor Networks
Sensors communicating together allow for intelligent action
Need lower level standards (e.g., Zigbee) to interconnect sensors and gateways to higher level functions (Internet and cloud)
Self organizing networks
Mobile considerations
Bio-Nano Thing Networks (IoBNT)

11. Sensor Network

12. Smart City

13. Bio Nano

14. Internet
Higher level open Internet protocols can be used in most cases
Integration with cloud resources
Industrial Internet needs to be deterministic
Use the features of the IP to provide this
Not generally directly connected to the public Internet
Determinism concerns
Safety and security concerns

15. Industrial Wired standards Wireless standards Ethernet
Modbus (PLC connectivity)
Wireless standards
6TiSCH

16. Generic Industrial IoT

17. Industrial Internet Concept

18. Industrial Ethernet

19. Industrial Ethernet

20. Industrial Wireless (6TiSCH)

21. Summary and Preview
Today we have discussed communication standards and how they work together to create the IoT
Standards determine how these systems are organized and interact with each other
Next time we talk systems
