About the content
The IoT world represents billions of sophisticated objects such as sensors, actuators and meters that are deployed nearly everywhere, in homes, hospitals, factories, cities, and connected to the Internet. But with limited capacity in terms of memory storage, computational power, and energy, how these objects can assure network reliability and timely transmission?
That is what you'll learn in this course: how can we set up wireless communication and networking in IoT to achieve these goals?
By presenting the building blocks of IoT network architecture, this MOOC will help the learners to adapt to the fast-changing environment in the communication for Industrial IoT.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- How to schedule a collision-free communication between two devices (with TSCH protocol, MSF)
- How to compress, fragment, and reassemble IPv6 data packets adapted to IoT constraints (with 6Lowpan, 6LFF)
- How make connected devices learn their best path toward a given destination (with RPL protocol)
Prerequisite
- notions of networking (TCP/IP stack),
- basic notions of programming for the Laboratory sessions (i.e., C, Python)
Syllabus
WEEK 1: Medium Access Control (MAC) Methods for IoT
WEEK 2: 6LoWPAN Adaptation Layer
