• Integration and Interoperability: A robust IoT ecosystem ensures that various devices and
platforms can work together seamlessly. Standardization and APIs (Application
Programming Interfaces) enable integration across different manufacturers and services.
3. Physical and logical design(functional blocks and iot comm models) of iot
The physical design of an IoT system focuses on the actual devices and their
interconnections.
• Devices and Sensors: These are the physical components like sensors (temperature,
humidity, motion, etc.), actuators, and embedded systems that collect data from the
environment or control it.
• Connectivity: IoT devices use communication modules such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
Zigbee, LoRa, or cellular networks to connect and transfer data.
• IoT Protocols: Protocols such as MQTT, CoAP, and HTTP are used for transmitting
data between devices and platforms.
• Gateway Devices: Act as intermediaries that collect data from sensors and forward
it to cloud platforms or local servers.
Logical Design of IoT
The logical design of an IoT system refers to the abstract, high-level representation of
how the system works. It includes the functional blocks that define key operations and
the communication models that determine how devices interact and exchange data.
