Harnessing the Internet of Things (IoT) for Hyper-Connected Smart World explores a multitude of diverse IoT applications that provide advanced solutions for real-world problems. IoT offers tremendous potential to incorporate data-driven decision-making into every aspect of human activity, and this volume explores its use in agriculture, education, worker safety, health care, energy harvesting, and more. In addition, several chapters explore ways to improve and maintain higher performance in IoT.

The diverse selection of topics addressed in the book include network on chip (NoC) as the new paradigm for system on chip (SoC) integration for maintaining high performance for IoT applications; new router designs to increase speed; the challenges of wireless underground sensor networks (WUSNs), which have a wide range of applications in military, underground sensing, testing soil traits and moisture content, pollution control and location detection, security, and detection of natural calamities. Various state-of-the-art techniques such as optimization schemes, blockchain, machine learning (ML), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), etc., are also discussed in the context of cognitive IoT.

The volume elucidates on the uses of IoT in agriculture, discussing challenges along with solutions with the help of the latest technical smart tools to uplift the farming community, specifically IoT applications for information gathering to improve yield productivity, food and crop quality and sustainability, monitoring toxic substances and soil properties, etc. The book also covers a broad spectrum of IoT applications in the educational industry along with the challenges associated with them and how to facilitate the use of smart classroom technology. A chapter on IoT in the health care industry presents an IoT-based GPS-enabled smart jacket design comprised of smart sensors to monitor heart rate, sugar level, blood pressure, fever, and stress level. The authors also present an IoT-based Peltier air conditioner design that overcomes the limitations existing HVAC framework, a comprehensive review of various energy harvesting techniques to generate electrical power from nonconventional power sources with their merits and demerits, and much more.

The book showcases the many ways that IoT can be employed for improvement in many areas of contemporary life. It will appeal to advanced students, practitioners, and researchers working in the field of IoT to integrate IoT with other technologies to develop comprehensive solutions to real-life problems.
