<p><b>Provides a detailed analysis of the standards and technologies enabling applications for the wireless Internet of Things</b></p> <p><i>The Wireless Internet of Things: A Guide to the Lower Layers </i>presents a practitioner’s perspective toward the Internet of Things (IoT) focusing on over-the-air interfaces used by applications such as home automation, sensor networks, smart grid, and healthcare. The author—a noted expert in the field—examines IoT as a protocol-stack detailing the physical layer of the wireless links, as both a radio and a modem, and the media access control (MAC) that enables communication in congested bands. Focusing on low-power wireless personal area networks (WPANs) the text outlines the physical and MAC layer standards used by ZigBee, Bluetooth LE, Z-Wave, and Thread. The text deconstructs these standards and provides background including relevant communication theory, modulation schemes, and access methods.</p> <p>The author includes a discussion on Wi-Fi and gateways, and explores their role in IoT. He introduces radio topologies used in software-defined radio implementations for the WPANs. The book also discusses channel modelling and link budget analysis for WPANs in IoT. This important text:</p> <ul> <li>Introduces IEEE 802.15.4, ITU-T G.9959, and Bluetooth LE as physical layer technology standards enabling wireless IoT</li> <li>Takes a layered approach in order to cultivate an appreciation for the various standards that enable interoperability</li> <li>Provides clarity on wireless standards with particular focus on actual implementation</li> </ul> <p>Written for IoT application and platform developers as well as digital signal processing, network, and wireless communication engineers; <i>The Wireless Internet of Things: A Guide to the Lower Layers</i>offers an inclusive overview of the complex field of wireless IoT, exploring its beneficial applications that are proliferating in a variety of industries.</p>
