Description
The
Internet of Things IoT is rapidly growing in many application areas. The aim of
IoT is to ensure that everything is connected to the internet using the
Internet Protocol. This idea has the potential of making homes, cities,
electric grids, among others, safer, more efficient, and easier to manage. The
IoT faces several challenges, with security and privacy being the major
concerns. To ensure security and privacy in IoT is extremely challenging with
the constraints on the IoT enabled devices
For
further reading, could refer to the article “Challenges of securing Internet of
Things devices: A survey” [1]. The article is available on the Wiley platform,
which could be easily accessed.
The
assessment requires students to compare the communication technologies, which
could be used with IoT enabled devices and evaluate their performance. The
students are required to submit a report, which includes:
1. Comparison
of the existing communication technologies for IoT by emphasizing on the use of
sensor network and wireless technologies in terms of:
a.
Band
of Operation
b.
Modulation
techniques
c.
Data
rates
d.
Nominal
range of operation
2. Evaluate
the network performance of the communication technologies for IoT and comment
of how wireless technologies impact the performance
3. Identify
and analyse the security and privacy issues in IoT, particularly the issue of
securing its wireless system.
4.
Propose
a communication technology for IoT enable devices in a home network.
