Constrained node networks
Figure 2: Constrained node network building blocks
• A constrained network exhibits the following characteristics:
• Low bit-rate/throughput
• High packet loss and high variability of packet loss
• Highly asymmetric link characteristics
• Lack of advanced network services like multi-cast
• The possible reasons for these characteristics of constrained networks are
listed below:
• Cost constraints
• Constraints posed by the nodes
• Physical constraints, e.g., power or environmental constraints
• Technology constraints such as having to use legacy technologies
• constrained node networks are deployed generally in the edge network of an IoT system.
The building blocks of a constrained node network are listed below.
• Sensors: Sensors are electronic devices, modules or sub-systems that measure physical
properties and give an electrical output, e.g., temperature or acceleration sensors.
• Actuators: These are devices that take an electronic input and give a physical output, e.g.,
motors.
• Clusters: This is a grouping of sensors and actuators.
• Communication channels: This is a medium through which data is transferred, e.g., wired
or wireless.
• Aggregators: These are the devices used to aggregate all the data from sensors and
sometimes give commands to actuators. They are gateway devices.
• eUtility: This may be software, hardware or services that support aggregators in feeding
data and in computing.
• Decision trigger: This is the software that does the computing and takes action if needed
• Special network stacks and constrained node networks
Constrained networks cannot use conventional TCP/IP stacks and
need a new network stack because of their resource constrained
nature. Refer Table 3 which compares protocols in conventional
networks and constrained node networks
Application Protocol of IOT
1. Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP)
• Designed for HTTP-based IoT systems, CoAP uses a request/response model and built-
in service discovery. It relies on the USe Datagram Protocol to establish secure
communication between endpoints.
2.Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP)
• AMQP is used for receiving and placing messages in queues, and for setting up
relationships between components. However, it may not be suitable for IoT devices
with limited memory.
3.Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT)
• MQTT is a contender with HTTP for the most widely used protocol in IoT applications.
4.Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP)
• XMPP is a communication protocol for message-oriented middleware based on
XML. It allows for the real-time exchange of structured data between network entities

IOT Sensors
• Sensors are devices that detect and measure different things, such as
pressure, temperature, or motion. Sensors can be classified into
different types, including:
• Active sensors: Require an external power source to function and
provide most of the signal's output power
• Passive sensors: Generate their own electric signal and don't require
an external power source
• Analog sensors: Produce a continuous output signal or measurement
• Digital sensors: Include digital accelerometers and digital temperature
sensor
Temperature sensors
• Measure temperature or temperature gradient.
• They can be classified as contact or non-contact sensors. Contact sensors, like
thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), are in direct
contact with the object being measured and provide accurate readings.
• A temperature sensor is a device that is designed to measure the
degree of hotness or coolness in an object.
• The working of a temperature meter depends upon the voltage across
the diode. The temperature change is directly proportional to the
diode's resistance.
• The IC we will use to measure the temperature is the TMP36 IC. We
will integrate this with the arduino to measure the temperature.
• The arduino will then read this measured value from the TMP36 and
translate into degrees fahrenheit which we will be able to read from
the computer. The TMP36 is a low voltage IC which uses between 2.
7V and 5. 5V of pow
• This is ideal because the arduino`s power pin gives out 5V of power.
• The IC has just 3 pins, 2 for the power supply and one for the analog output.
• The output pin provides a voltage output that is linearly proportional to the celsius (centigrade) temperature.
• In order to get the temperature in fahrenheit, we have to write code to the arduino to convert this celsius
temperature into fahrenheit.
• The code is shown below. Pin 1 receives positive DC voltage in order for the IC to work.
• This, again, is voltage between 2. 7-5. 5V. Pin 3 is the ground, so it receives the ground or negative terminal of
the DC power supply.
• And Pin 2 is the output of the IC, outputting an analog voltage in porportion to the temperature it measures.
• Also to do this project we need a USB cable with a Type A connector on one end and a Type B connector on
the other end. This is so that we can hook our arduino to a computer and send it code that it can run to
dispaly to us the temperature.
• Now that we have this circuit setup, we now connect the USB cable from the arduino to the computer.
• The type B side of the connector goes into the arduino and the type A side into the USB port of the computer.
Now the computer is connected to the arduino.
• We can now write code in the processing software to give instructions to the arduino. The code will now be
explained. Before we can get a celsius or fahrenheit reading of the temperature, the analog output voltage.
Humidity Sensors
• A humidity sensor is a device that measures the amount of water, or humidity,
in the air around it.
• They can be handheld or built into air quality systems and come in many
different sizes and forms.
• The readings from these sensors can help you adjust things if the air is too dry
or humid.
• Humidity sensors are transducers that convert the amount of water (H2O)
vapour into a measurable parameter.
• For humidity and temperature reading the DHT22 sensor will be the perfect
choice.
• It can read 0 to 100% humidity and 0 to 120°C temperature.
• The humidity sensor DHT22 is an affordable and easy to use sensor
• To wire up this sensor with arduino follow these steps, first connect bias to
sensor that is +Vcc 5 volt to pin 1 and Ground GND to pin4.
• Then put external resistor 10K Ω between +Vcc and pin 2 for to get accurate
value.
• Finally connect the pin 2 of sensor to any one digital pwm pin in arduino board
here we connected in Digital pwm D2 pin.
• The sensor pin 3 need not to be connected anywhere.
Light Sensor
• A light sensor is a device that detects light and converts it into an electrical
signal.
• Light sensors can measure the intensity, wavelength, frequency, or direction of
light.
• They are also known as photodetectors or photosensors
LDR
• LDR is Light Dependent Resistor. LDRs are made from semiconductor materials
to enable them to have their light-sensitive properties.
• There are many types but one material is popular and it is cadmium sulfide
(CdS). These LDRs or PHOTO RESISTORS works on the principle of “Photo
Conductivity”.
• Now what this principle says is, whenever light falls on the surface of the LDR
(in this case) the conductance of the element increases or in other words, the
resistance of the LDR falls when the light falls on the surface of the LDR.
• This property of the decrease in resistance for the LDR is achieved because it is
a property of semiconductor material used on the surface
proximity sensor
• A proximity sensor is a device that detects nearby objects without making
physical contact.
• It converts information about the object's presence or movement into an
electrical signal.
• There are many types of proximity sensors, each with different characteristics
and best suited to different applications.
• Here are some types of proximity sensors:
• Inductive
• Uses electromagnetic energy to detect metal targets. The sensing range depends on the
type of metal being detected. Inductive sensors can operate valves, brakes,
electromagnetic clutches, and contactors without additional interface components.
• Capacitive
• Can detect both metallic and nonmetallic targets, including small or lightweight objects
that mechanical limit switches can't detect.
• Ultrasonic
• Emits a sound impulse and measures the time it takes for the echo to return from an
object. Ultrasonic sensors can sense most materials and aren't affected by lighting
conditions, transparency, shininess, or color.
• Magnetic
• Can detect magnets through walls of non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, aluminum, plastic,
or wood. Magnetic sensors are used for non-contact object detection beyond the limits of
inductive sensors.
Gyroscope sensor
• A gyroscope sensor, also known as an angular velocity sensor or gyro sensor, is
a device that measures an object's orientation and angular velocity.
Gyroscopes can detect movements that are difficult for humans to sense, such
as rotation and changes in orientation.
• They work by measuring the rotation rate with respect to an inertial frame,
and can also measure the Earth's rotation rate if placed on the ground.
Gyroscope output is usually expressed in degrees per second (°/s) or radians
per second (rad/s).
Gyroscopes are used in many applications
• Smartphones: For motion-sensing GUIs, image stabilization, GPS-
inertial navigation, and motion-sensing control games
• Gaming consoles: For responsive controls
• Robots and drones: For stabilization systems
• Cruise ships: For leveling motion-sensitive devices like pool tables
An accelerometer sensor
• An accelerometer sensor is a device that measures the acceleration or vibration
of an object over time. It's a type of inertial sensor that can detect tilt, vibration,
and impact. Accelerometers are used in many applications, including:
• Smartphones and other digital devices: Accelerometers can rotate the display
based on the orientation of the device.
• Vehicles: Accelerometers can trigger airbags.
• Wearable devices: Accelerometers can be used as body sound sensors to sense
bone-conducted voice
• Accelerometers work by attaching a mass to a force sensor. When the object
accelerates, the mass inertia creates a force that "squeezes" a piezoelectric
material, producing an electrical charge.
• The charge is proportional to the force, and since the mass is constant, the
charge is also proportional to the acceleration
An infrared (IR) sensor
• An infrared (IR) sensor is a radiation-sensitive electronic device that detects
infrared radiation, which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and has
wavelengths longer than visible light.
• IR sensors can detect changes in light that are invisible to the human eye by
emitting and detecting infrared radiation from objects and generating an
electrical signal when they detect a change.
IR sensors are used in a variety of applications,
including:
• Security and safety systems
• IR sensors are a cornerstone of security systems, especially for intrusion detection.
They can be used in motion detectors, alarm systems, and gas warning devices.
• Temperature measurement
• IR sensors can measure body temperatures and contactless precision
temperatures over a wide range without cooling. However, some sensors may
need to be cooled or thermally stabilized to achieve a good signal-to-noise ratio.
• Other applications
• IR sensors can also be used in night vision equipment, chemical analysis
instruments, and guidance systems.
Level sensors
• Level sensors can determine the levels of different types of free-
flowing media, such as liquids, powdered solids, and granular solids.
They work in different ways, depending on the type of sensor, but
typically output a distance quantity that estimates the level in relation
to the container dimensions.
• This distance can then be converted to volumetric values based on the
same tank dimensions
Level sensors are commonly used in many
industries, including:
• Automotive and manufacturing
• Civil engineering
• Household appliances
• Oil manufacturing plants
• Beverage and food manufacturing companies
• Water treatment plants
pressure sensor
• A pressure sensor is an electronic device that detects or monitors either gas
or liquid pressure (force) and converts that information into an electrical
signal that can be used to monitor or regulate the force being measured.
• The way pressure sensors work depends on the type of technology used.
• For example,
• piezoelectric pressure sensors use the property of piezoelectric materials
like ceramic or metallized quartz to generate an electrical potential when
the material is subjected to mechanical stress.
Smoke Sensor
• A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke and sends a signal to
a building's fire alarm system to activate an alarm. Smoke detectors
can detect both slow-burning and fast-burning fires, and can provide
an early warning before temperature changes or flame detection
systems can activate.
• There are two basic types of smoke detectors:
1.Photoelectric detectors
Use a light beam inside a sensing chamber to detect light that is reflected off
smoke particles. When the amount of light registered reaches a certain
threshold, the alarm sounds. Photoelectric detectors can respond faster to
smoldering fires than ionization alarms.
2.Ionization detectors
Use radioactive material to ionize air molecules. When smoke enters the
chamber, particles attach to the ions, reducing the current and setting off the
alarm. Ionization detectors are highly sensitive to small smoke particles and can
respond faster to fast flaming fires than photoelectric alarms.
• This gas sensor has four pins in total, which are:
• Vcc: We need to provide +5V.
• GND: We need to ground it.
• D0: Digital Output.
• A0: Analog Output
water quality sensor
• The water quality sensor is a general term for multiple sensors that
measure PH, residual chlorine, turbidity, suspended solids,
conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. Water quality does not refer to a
specific day parameter, it contains multiple elements to measure water
conditions.
Total Organic Carbon Sensors
• Total organic carbon (TOC) is both a direct indicator and a surrogate,
and is a crucial parameter for water quality evaluation. There are two
types of TOC water quality sensors currently available: TOC analyzers
and TOC sensors.
• If used for regulatory reporting, governing an essential process-
control variable or quality control, instrument reliability is crucial. If
used for general TOC tracking - not for making important quality
decisions, then other water quality sensor properties may be more
essential than accuracy.
Residual Chlorine Sensor
• Determining residual chlorine in water treatment centers and
distribution systems is essential in safely treating water and has been
important as long as chlorine has been used to disinfect water.
• These water quality sensors evaluate the level of free chlorine,
monochloramine, and total chlorine in the water source. The principal
application is drinking water disinfection, although total chlorine is
also often assessed when treating wastewater
Turbidity Sensor
• Turbidity sensors gauge suspended solids in water, normally by
determining the amount of light that is able to pass through the water.
These water quality sensors are used in river and stream testing,
wastewater measurements, drinking water treatment operations,
settling ponds management, sediment transport study and laboratory
testing
Conductivity Sensor
• Conductivity testing is often conducted in industrial settings to obtain
data on total ionic concentrations, such as the amount of dissolved
compounds, in aqueous solutions. Common applications include water
purification, clean in place (CIP) control, and measuring concentration
amounts in solutions.
• A standard conductivity sensor can be either an inline sensor directly
inserted or a water quality sensor in a housing, with a cable linked to a
transmitter, which sends signals to a processing and/or recording
device.
pH Sensor
• The pH of a solution, how acidic or basic it is, is a major indicator of
water quality. pH sensors are usually a single electrode, typically made
of glass and quite delicate. An electrode is typically attached to an
analyser that has an interface for water quality data collection,
calibration, and alerts.
ORP Sensor
• ORP sensors gauge the Oxygen-Reduction Potential of a water source.
Used in conjunction with a pH sensor, an ORP measurement can offer
insight into the degree of oxidation/reduction reactions taking place in
the solution. An ORP Sensor should be connected to an effective
interface and software to gather data
Gas sensors
• Gas sensors (also known as gas detectors) are electronic devices that
detect and identify different types of gasses. They are commonly used
to detect toxic or explosive gasses and measure gas concentration. Gas
sensors are employed in factories and manufacturing facilities to
identify gas leaks, and to detect smoke and carbon monoxide in
homes.
• One of the most commonly used gas sensors for toxic identification
and smoke detection is the metal oxide based gas sensor. This type of
sensor employs a chemiresistor which comes in contact and reacts
with target gasses. Metal oxide gas sensors increase their electrical
resistance as they come into contact with gasses such as carbon
monoxide, hydrogen, methane, and butane. Most home based smoke
detection systems are oxide based sensors.
image sensor
An image sensor is a semiconductor that converts light into a digital signal,
similar to how film works in a film camera. It's a small piece of optical
technology found in digital cameras and other imaging devices that receives
light focused through the lens.
The sensor then converts the light into an electrical signal that can be
interpreted by the
There are two main types of image sensors:
• CCD (charge coupled device) image sensors
• CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) image sensors
• A charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor has an array of capacitors,
each carrying an electric charge corresponding to the light intensity of a
pixel. A control circuit causes each capacitor to transfer its contents to its
neighbor, and the last capacitor in the array dumps its charge into a
charge amplifier. The bucket-brigade style of data transfer is
characteristic of CCD sensors.
• In contrast, a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image
sensor has a photodiode and a CMOS transistor switch for each pixel,
allowing the pixel signals to be amplified individually. By operating the
matrix of switches, the pixel signals can be accessed directly and
sequentially, and at a much higher speed than a CCD sensor. Having an
amplifier for each pixel also gives another advantage: it reduces the
noise that occurs when reading the electrical signals converted from
captured light

Common applications include water purification, clean in place (CIP) control, and measuring concentration amounts in solutions. • A standard conductivity sensor can be either an inline sensor directly inserted or a water quality sensor in a housing, with a cable linked to a transmitter, which sends signals to a processing and/or recording device.

    pH Sensor • ThepH of a solution, how acidic or basic it is, is a major indicator of water quality. pH sensors are usually a single electrode, typically made of glass and quite delicate. An electrode is typically attached to an analyser that has an interface for water quality data collection, calibration, and alerts.

    ORP Sensor • ORPsensors gauge the Oxygen-Reduction Potential of a water source. Used in conjunction with a pH sensor, an ORP measurement can offer insight into the degree of oxidation/reduction reactions taking place in the solution. An ORP Sensor should be connected to an effective interface and software to gather data

    Gas sensors • Gassensors (also known as gas detectors) are electronic devices that detect and identify different types of gasses. They are commonly used to detect toxic or explosive gasses and measure gas concentration. Gas sensors are employed in factories and manufacturing facilities to identify gas leaks, and to detect smoke and carbon monoxide in homes.

    • One ofthe most commonly used gas sensors for toxic identification and smoke detection is the metal oxide based gas sensor. This type of sensor employs a chemiresistor which comes in contact and reacts with target gasses. Metal oxide gas sensors increase their electrical resistance as they come into contact with gasses such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane, and butane. Most home based smoke detection systems are oxide based sensors.

    image sensor An imagesensor is a semiconductor that converts light into a digital signal, similar to how film works in a film camera. It's a small piece of optical technology found in digital cameras and other imaging devices that receives light focused through the lens. The sensor then converts the light into an electrical signal that can be interpreted by the

    • A charge-coupleddevice (CCD) image sensor has an array of capacitors, each carrying an electric charge corresponding to the light intensity of a pixel. A control circuit causes each capacitor to transfer its contents to its neighbor, and the last capacitor in the array dumps its charge into a charge amplifier. The bucket-brigade style of data transfer is characteristic of CCD sensors. • In contrast, a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor has a photodiode and a CMOS transistor switch for each pixel, allowing the pixel signals to be amplified individually. By operating the matrix of switches, the pixel signals can be accessed directly and sequentially, and at a much higher speed than a CCD sensor. Having an amplifier for each pixel also gives another advantage: it reduces the noise that occurs when reading the electrical signals converted from captured light
