The Internet of Things (IoT) technology is the main contributor in numerous smart applications. The reason is because it offers for 24/7 hours of control and maintenance geographically apart, thus reduces labor or manpower cost significantly. The 3 main components for any IoT applications are the source of power (energy), the microcontroller and the sensor (s) involved. Previous issues mainly related to how long the source of power could last for the applications to continue its operation. This paper presents IoT technology for hygiene application to address the utilization of toilet tissue named as Intelligent Tissue Dispenser System (iTDS). The iTDS device relies on the microcontroller and sensor in order to operate the intended task. The microcontroller used is an IoT based device called ESP8266 which is a WiFi-embedded microcontroller that utilized standard everyday WiFi band frequency which is at 2.4 GHz. For the sensor, an ultrasonic distance measurement device is used. The ultrasonic sensor transmit an ultrasonic wave that hit the object to be measured. Upon hitting the surface of the object to be measured, the wave is then reflected to the receiver of the sensor and the time difference between transmitted wave and received wave is calculated to get the actual distance of the object from the sensor. The main contribution of iTDS is to monitor and track for the toilet tissue to be refilled. The implementation shows the iTDS ables to update for the status of each tissue which reducing the cost of manually human checking for tissue refill.

The result of the review of technical features of technologies, their advantages and disadvantages is given. A comparative analysis was performed. An analysis is made that in the future heterogeneous structures based on the integration of many used radio technologies will play a crucial role in the implementation of fifth generation networks and systems. The Internet of Things (IoT) is heavily affecting our daily lives in many domains, ranging from tiny wearable devices to large industrial systems. Consequently, a wide variety of IoT applications have been developed and deployed using different IoT frameworks. An IoT framework is a set of guiding rules, protocols, and standards which simplify the implementation of IoT applications. The success of these applications mainly depends on the ecosystem characteristics of the IoT framework, with the emphasis on the security mechanisms employed in it, where issues related to security and privacy are pivotal. In this paper, we survey the security of the main IoT frameworks, a total of 8 frameworks are considered. For each framework, we clarify the proposed architecture, the essentials of developing third-party smart apps, the compatible hardware, and the security features. Comparing security architectures shows that the same standards used for securing communications, whereas different methodologies followed for providing other security properties.

With the development of the Internet of Things and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), indoor positioning technology as an important part of positioning technology, has been attracting much attention in recent years. In order to solve the problems of low precision, high cost and signal collision between readers, a new indoor positioning algorithm based on a single RFID reader combined with a Double-order Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) are proposed in this paper. Firstly, the reader is moved along the specified direction to collect the sequential tag data. Then, the tag’s coordinate is taken as the target value to train models and compare them with existing algorithms. Finally, the best Gated Recurrent Unit positioning model is used to estimate the position of the tags. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve positioning accuracy, reduce the number of readers, cut down the cost and eliminate the collisions of reader signals.

The role of the internet of things (IoT) and cyberspace in a digital society is well recognized, and they have become tremendously popular due to certain features like the ability to ease the operational process of businesses and instant communication. Recent developments in the fields of wireless communication networks like 4G, 5G, and 6G with IoT applications have greatly benefited human welfare. Still, the rapid growth of various IoT applications focuses on automating different tasks and are trying to empower the inanimate physical objects to act without any human intervention. It has also contributed to unethical practices by hackers who use new tools and techniques to penetrate more complex or well-controlled environments and produce increased damage and even remain under the cover. The main objective of this chapter is to improve understanding of the challenges to secure future digital infrastructure while it is still evolving. In this context, a detailed review of the security-related issues, challenges, threats, and countermeasures in the IoT applications is presented.

The Internet of Things (IoT) will consist of billions (50 billions by 2020) of interconnected heterogeneous devices denoted as “Smart Objects:” tiny, constrained devices which are going to be pervasively deployed in several contexts. To meet low-latency requirements, IoT applications must rely on specific architectures designed to handle the gigantic stream of data coming from Smart Objects. This paper propose a novel Cloud architecture for Big Stream applications that can efficiently handle data coming from Smart Objects through a Graph-based processing platform and deliver processed data to consumer applications with low latency. The authors reverse the traditional “Big Data” paradigm, where real-time constraints are not considered, and introduce the new “Big Stream” paradigm, which better fits IoT scenarios. The paper provides a performance evaluation of a practical open-source implementation of the proposed architecture. Other practical aspects, such as security considerations, and possible business oriented exploitation plans are presented.

The next big wave, the Internet of Things or Internet of Everything (IoT/IoE) is on the way. What does that mean for semiconductor packaging, assembly and test? What are the requirements? What solutions can be provided? The market will be wide and fragmented. Many different solutions will be needed. Flexibility and the capability to customize system solutions will be crucial. The fact is, it will be all about smart system integration, integration of sensors, MEMS, connectivity and memory: more functionality on less space in small and thin System-in-Package (SiP) and Package-on-Package (PoP). There will not be one specific packaging technology for IoT/IoE, and no new “IoT/IoE Packaging Technology”. The toolbox is here already, and further features required to meet the needs of future IoT/IoE modules are under development. That is actually good news, as the cost pressure will be high, and materialization of existing manufacturing environment, of mature and yielding packaging technologies will be a key for success.
