Internet of things

Prerequisites

Basics notions of network and Telecommunications

educational goals

This course is an entry level introduction to the concept of Internet of Things, its applications and the associated constraints for their implementation. It will first gives an introduction to the system architecture and applications. Then it provides students with the knowledge of communication technologies allowing data exchanges. Finally, it provides basics of machine learning algorithms to handle the large amount of data related to IoT. It will allow us to get knowledge about classical communication networks (Bluetooth, ZigBee, wifi direct)  and on the Long Range communications principles dedicated to Internet of things  (LoRa, Sigfox, NBIoT).

Targeted skills
