<p><strong>The unit aims to: </strong>Provide a thorough introduction to the Internet of Things (IoT) in general and to those aspects of computer networks that underpin the IoT in particular. Students will gain some practical experience with typical IoT hardware and with networking tools.</p>
<p><strong>On successful completion of the course, a student will be able to:</strong></p><p><strong>ILO 1:</strong> Appraise the importance of IOT and its dependence on enabling technologies. scope and applications.</p><p><strong>ILO 2:</strong> Identify the requirements, structure and implementation of IoT platforms, in terms of hardware and software.</p><p><strong>ILO 3: </strong>Appraise the need of the protocol stack and the issues and techniques relevant at each layer.</p><p><strong>ILO 4: </strong>Assess the networking requirements of different IoT applications, particularly related to localization and estimation.</p><p><strong>ILO 5:</strong> Be able to reason about situations arising in the use of IoT in terms of MAC, routing and transport protocols.</p><p><strong>ILO 6: </strong>Apply appropriate statistical tools, including queuing and estimation theories, to model and assess the behaviour and performance of IoT in different environments.</p>
<p><strong>Approaches to be employed will include:</strong></p><p>Face-to-face lectures<br/>Recorded lectures<br/>On-line quizzes<br/>Tutorials/problems classes</p>
