<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.</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>Approaches to be employed will include:</p><p>Face-to-face lectures<br/>Recorded lectures<br/>On-line quizzes<br/>Tutorials/problems classes</p>
