Communication Systems for IoT

FEKT-MPA-IOTAk. rok: 2023/2024

The course “Communication Systems for IoT” details the actual approaches for the M2M (Machine-to-Machine) data transmissions utilizing either wired or wireless communication technologies and communication protocols. The outlined approaches are valid for: (i) industrial Internet of Things (IIoT); (ii) intelligent networks (Smart Grids); (iii) Smart Cities; (iv) and Industry 4.0. The students will be able to differentiate between the M2M and H2H (Human-to-Human) communication, decide how to implement the data aggregation, and select the suitable communication technology based on the communication requirements (data volume, traffic patterns, security, performance limitations, power source, etc.).

The laboratories follow the theoretical part of the course (lectures) and focus on the practical implementation of the selected wireless communication technologies, e.g., Narrowband IoT and LTE Cat-M. Further, the students will also test the selected technology utilizing the license-exempt frequence bands (WiFi, LoRaWAN, Sigfox). The students will work with real prototypes aiming to establish fully functional communication based on the given parameters. For this, the students will use the UniLab laboratory, a unique platform equipped with the latest communication technologies and protocols working in both licensed and unlicensed frequency spectrum.

Vstupní znalosti

Basic knowledge of information and communication technologies (ICT) on the Bachelor degree level is required. Work in the laboratory is conditioned by a valid qualification of "instructed person" according to Vyhl. 50/1978 Sb., which students must obtain before starting the course. Information on this qualification is given in the Dean's Directive Familiarization of students with safety regulations.    

Pravidla hodnocení a ukončení předmětu


- Mandatory participation in laboratory exercises (7 points).
- Project (23 points).
- Final semester exam (70 points). 

Učební cíle

"Communication Systems for IoT" is a recently established course with great potential that is targeted to meet the requirements given by the industry sector. The goals are practically oriented, emphasizing wireless communication technologies (in license-exempt and licensed frequency spectrum) and protocols. The course provides actual information (lectures, invited lectures, and laboratories / computer exercises) to follow the trends within the: (i) Internet of Things (IoT); (ii) Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT); (iii) Massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC); (iv) Industry 4.0; and (v) Smart Grids.

On course completion, students will be able to:
- Define the communication principles within the next-generation networks (5G New Radio; mMTC, IoT, IIoT).
- Differentiate between the M2M and H2H (Human-to-Human) communication.
- Decide on how to implement the data aggregation, and select the suitable communication technology based on the communication requirements (data volume, traffic patterns, security, performance limitations, power source, etc.).
