Summary
The basic function of an IoT node is to collect data and send it through a wireless channel to the cloud. Since the power consumption of an IoT node is largely dominated by the wireless communication, it is therefore key to understand the trade-offs faced when designing the radio.Content
- Introduction to the IoT.
- Brief description of the IoT wireless standards.
- General architecture of an IoT node.
- IoT radio architectures.
- Building blocks analysis and optimization in terms of power consumption, including LNA, mixer, oscillator, frequency synthesis, PA, baseband.
- Examples of a simple BTLE radio.
Keywords
IoT, IoT node, low-power, wireless communication, radios
