10. Course Goals (acquired competencies):

Students will learn the basic standards and protocols for IoT systems. After the competition of the course, they will be able to design and develop software for different types of IoT applications in terms of data exchange in various IoT scenarios.

11. Course Syllabus:

Introduction to the basic standards and protocols for IoT networking. Introduction to the existing standards and protocols of the physical, data link and network layer of the protocol stack. Physical layer of devices in IoT environment: sensors, actuators, M2M communication. Internet in IoT devices. Data link layer protocols for communication between IoT devices: IEEE 802.15.4, 802.11ah, ZigBee, LoRaWAN, LTE-M, NB-IoT. Network layer protocols of IoT: IPv6, RPL, 6LoWPAN, 6TiSCH. A special focus on the session protocols, i.e. the data exchange protocols, such as MQTT, CoAP, XMPP, LwM2M, RESTfull HTTP, etc. Utilization of the open data protocols for the development of IoT applications. Applications of IoT systems: Internet of people, Internet of cars, Internet of media etc.

19. Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Regular attendance at classes and prepared seminar work.
20. Forms of assessment

During the semester, tests are conducted during the classes. Written exam is taken for a maximum of 120 minutes at the end of the semester or in exam sessions. A seminar paper or project task (team or individual) is prepared. The final grade includes points from the exam, tests and from the seminar paper or project assignment. A special instruction published before each exam regulates the manner of taking the exam and the use of teaching aids and electronic devices during the exam.
