(time taken to start the communication) is 0.1 s.
The device can also communicate with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices in order to
extend the distance from 10 cm to 30 m or higher.
The device is able to receive and pass the data to a Bluetooth connection or
standardised LAN or Wi-Fi using information handover functions.

data-link layer). ZigBee devices form a WPAN devices network.
ZigBee end-point devices form a WPAN of embedded sensors, actuators,
appliances, controllers or medical data systems which connect to the Internet for
IoT applications, services and business processes.

20. Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is an interface technology that uses IEEE 802.11 protocol and enables the Wireless
Local Area Networks (WLANs). Wi-Fi devices connect enterprises, universities and
offices through home AP/public hotspots. Wi-Fi connects distributed WLAN networks
using the Internet.
Automobiles, instruments, home networking, sensors, actuators, industrial device nodes,
computers, tablets, mobiles, printers and many devices have Wi-Fi interface. They
network using a Wi-Fi network.
Wi-Fi is very popular. The issues of Wi-Fi interfaces, APs and routers are higher power
consumption, interference and performance degradation.

21. GPRS/GSM Cellular Networks-Mobile Internet
An IoT/M2M communication gateway can access a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN).
The network access may use a GPRS cellular network or new generation cellular network
for Internet access. A mobile phone provisions for a USB wired port, BT and Wi-Fi con-
nectivity. Wireless connectivity for Internet uses data connectivity using GSM, GPRS,
UMTS/LTE and WiMax services of a mobile service provider or Wi-Fi using a modem.
A phone, generally, provisions for number of sensors also; for example, acceleration, GPS
and proximity

22. Wireless USB
Wireless USB is a wireless extension of USB 2.0 and it operates at ultra-wide band
(UWB) 5.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz frequencies. It is for short-range personal area network
(high speed 480 Mbps 3 m or 110 Mbps 10 m channel). FCC recommends a host wire
adapter (HWA) and a device wire adapter (DWA), which provides wireless USB solution.
Wireless USB also supports dual-role devices (DRDs). A device can be a USB device as
well as limited capability host.

23. UART/USART Serial Communication
A Universal Asynchronous Transmitter (UART) enables serial communication (transmis-
sion) of 8 bits serially with a start bit at the start of transmission of a byte on serial
Transmitter Data (TxD) output line. Serial means present one after another at succes-
sive time intervals.

24. Serial Peripheral Interface
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is one of the widely used serial synchronous commu-
nication methods. Source of serial synchronous output or input is called master when
it also controls the synchronising clock information to the receiver. A receiver of serial
synchronous input or output is called a slave, when along with the serial data it also
receives the synchronising clock information from the master. Four sets of signals, viz.,
SCLK, MISO, MOSI, and SS (slave select) are used on four wires. When SS is active,
then the device functions as a slave.

25. I2C Bus
A number of device integrated circuits for sensors, actuators, flash memory and touch-
screens need data exchanges in a number of processes. ICs mutually network through
a common synchronous serial bus, called inter-integrated circuit (I2C). Four potential
modes of operation (viz. master transmit, master receive, slave transmit and slave re-
ceive) for I2C bus device and generally most devices have a single role and use two
modes only.

26. Wired USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is for fast serial transmission and reception between the
hosts, the embedded system and distributed serial devices; for example, like connecting
a keyboard, printer or scanner. USB is a bus between the host system and a number
of interconnected peripheral devices. Maximum 127 devices can connect with a host.
USB standard provides a fast (up to 12 Mbps) as well as a low-speed (up to 1.5 Mbps)
serial transmission and reception between the host and serial devices. Both the host and
device
can function in a system.
USB three standards are USB 1.1 (1.5 and 12 Mbps), 2.0 (mini size connector) 480
Mbps, 3.0 (micro size connector) 5 Gbps and 3.1 (super speed 10 Gbps).

Ethernet standard is IEEE 802.2 (ISO 8802.2) protocol for local area network of comput-
ers, workstations and device LANs. Each frame at a LAN consists of header. Ethernet
enables the services of local device nodes, computers, systems and local resources, such
as printers, hard disk space, software and data.

802.2 standard
Uses a 48-bit MAC address assigned distinctly to each computer on the LAN
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) resolves a 32 bit IP address at Internet device
LANs. Each frame at a LAN destination host media address.
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) resolves 48 bit destination host
media address into 32 bit IP addresses for Internet communication.

twisted pair wiring mode) and 10 Gbps (fiber-optic cables).
