Assignment 1
Deadline:

Type:
In groups
Delivery:
Via mail to figual@ucm.es indicating [Assignment 1] Group number in the subject.
Part 1
In this assignment, you will work by groups. Discuss with the members of the group and propose a realistic IoT development consisting of, at least, a number of sensors and actuators distributed in an indoor or outdoor environment (or both).
Briefly describe it using a slide, bullet points in a document or any media you consider of interest. After finishing it, a member of the group will need to present it in front of the rest of the class.
Part 2
Develop with more detail the deployment, with special interest in the following questions:
- Are there restrictions in number of messages per time unit?
- Are there restrictions in latency, bandwidth and other network metrics?
- What is the maximum transmission range between nodes?
- Are nodes mobile?
- Are package losses accepted? Is retransmission necessary?
- Is energy consumption an actual concern?
- Do nodes need to be maintained/managed remotely?
- Is bidirectionality in transmission necessary?
- Is edge computing necessary or recommended?
- Is security a concern?
- Any other concern of interest.
Write down answers to these questions in a slide, document or any media you consider of interest. After finishing it, a member of the group will need to present it in front of the rest of the class.
Part 3
Perform a market study and select:
- The best type of node (board) that can fulfill the restrictions.
- The most appropriate network technology (physical/link layer).
- The most appropriate application and transport-layer protocols to use at each point of the deployment.
Write down answers to each topic in a slide, document or any media you consider of interest. After finishing it, a member of the group will need to present it in front of the rest of the class.
A final report gathering all three parts will be submitted as a final delivery before deadline, and will determine the final grade. Please submit one report per group.
