IoT DEVICES
IoT devices can be classified in different categories given the following characteristics
- energy consumption
- networking capabilities
NETWORK CLASSIFICATION
| CATEGORY | CARACTERISTICS |
|---|
| C0 | devices with no independent network capabilities, a gateway is needed to enable communicaitions |
| C1 | devices with some communication capabilities but they don’t implement the full ip/tcp stack |
| C2 | devices with full ip/tcp capabilities, they may benefit from the use of simple protocols |
ENERGY CLASSIFICATION
| CATEGORY | CARACTERISTICS |
|---|
| E0 | event energy limitation |
| E1 | period energy limitation |
| E2 | lifetime energy limitation |
| E9 | no energy limitation |
