Abstract

IoT communication mechanisms are affected by a wide range of physical phenomena and deployment constraints that heavily affect performance and render most traditional networking techniques ineffective. This introduction presents these issues in order to analyze and understand, from a historical perspective, the evolution of IoT from M2M and legacy communication systems in a context of layered architectures. It discusses the main components of IoT solutions while describing the separate processes that occur inside of them. The chapter also focuses on the scope of mainstream IoT applications and presents a use case that serves as an overview of some of the technologies introduced in this book.
