Layered Architecture of IoT

Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive exploration of the layered architecture on the internet of things (IoT) ecosystem. IoT has become integral to modern life, touching industries from healthcare to smart cities. The chapter begins with an introduction to IoT's significance and evolution. It then breaks down the architecture into key layers—perception, network, middleware, and application—explaining their roles, interactions, and security considerations. Real-world case studies offer practical insights, while discussions on emerging technologies and challenges provide a glimpse into IoT's future. This chapter equips readers with a fundamental understanding of IoT's layered architecture, encouraging them to participate in this dynamic field.
