Fundamentals of Internet of Things
Tentang eBook ini
Fundamentals of Internet of Things build the foundations of IoT networks by leveraging the relevant concepts from signal processing, communications, net-works, and machine learning. The book covers two fundamental components of IoT networks, namely, the Internet and Things. In particular, the book focuses on networking concepts, protocols, clustering, data fusion, localization, energy harvesting, control optimization, data analytics, fog computing, privacy, and security including elliptic curve cryptography and blockchain technology. Most of the existing books are theoretical and without many mathematical details and examples. In addition, some essential topics of the IoT networks are also missing in the existing books.
Features:
• The book covers cutting-edge research topics
• Provides mathematical understanding of the topics in addition to relevant theory and insights
• Includes illustrations with hand-solved numerical examples for visualization of the theory and testing of understanding
• Lucid and crisp explanation to lessen the study time of the reader
The book is a complete package of the fundamentals of IoT networks and is suitable for graduate-level students and researchers who want to dive into the world of IoT networks.
