Internet of Things and M2M Communications [Hardcover]

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the emerging technology that interconnects smart objects using wireless communications. After having been extensively studied in academic labs, the IoT is now widely applied in the industrial world (e.g. domestic automation, smart metering, and smart cities).

Internet of Things and M2M Communicationspresents the key concepts used in the IoT. In particular, machine to machine (M2M) communications have to be energy efficient so that all the smart objects may operate for years on a single battery. Besides, whilst constructing an efficient global digital world that combines personal/private and external/general data, security and privacy issues also have to be adequately covered.
