With the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution, over 50 billion connected things in the world are expected by year 2020 and 40% of all world data will come from IoT devices and sensors (expected to generate a total of 129 yottabytes) – nearly reaching 90% of the world’s data created in the last 2 years. IoT brings up great requirements in terms of types and volume of connected devices, generated data from these devices, different environments coverage, battery-operated devices, form factors, and multiple communication ranges, communication protocols for real-time and mission critical applications, and diversity of traffic ranging from 3 bytes of data for telemetry to HD video streams for surveillance. IoT presents unique challenges such as efficient service discovery between devices, sleep mode management, communication between devices, radio to use, application requirement, and power constraint.The workshop will present a comprehensive introduction of the IoT ecosystem including an IoT overview (what/why, challenges, markets, services/applications, standards & regulations), wireless IoT technologies, 3GPP mobile IoT technologies, IoT platforms, IoT analytics, IoT security, and IoT business.
