Definition: IPv6 is the latest version of Internet Protocol that provides 128-bit addresses to
support a massive number of devices.
Advantages in IoT:

1. Huge address space → can connect billions of IoT devices.

2. Built-in security with IPSec.
3. Efficient routing and auto-configuration.

4. Supports multicast (send data to multiple devices simultaneously).

Example: Smart city with millions of sensors → each device can get a unique IPv6 address.

✅ Short Summary for 4–6 marks:

IPv4: 32-bit, limited addresses, optional security.
IPv6: 128-bit, huge address space, built-in security, ideal for IoT.

Do you want me to prepare a quick diagram showing IPv4 vs IPv6 address format for easy recall in
exams?

Perfect 👍 Let’s make this exam-friendly, simple, and point-wise.
Q6) Write about LoRaWAN

Answer:

What is LoRaWAN?

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a low-power, long-range wireless

communication protocol for IoT devices.

It is used in LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) to connect battery-powered sensors over
long distances.

Key Features:

1. Long Range:
Can cover 2–15 km in urban areas and up to 30 km in rural areas.

2. Low Power Consumption:

Devices can run on batteries for 5–10 years.
3. Star Topology:

End devices → Gateways → Network server → Applications.

4. Secure Communication:
Uses AES-128 encryption for data security.

5. Scalability:
Can support millions of devices in a network.

Applications of LoRaWAN:

1. Smart Cities: Street lighting, parking sensors, pollution monitoring.

2. Agriculture: Soil moisture sensors, irrigation control.
3. Industry: Machine monitoring, asset tracking.
4. Healthcare: Remote patient monitoring.

✅ Short Summary for 4–6 marks:

LoRaWAN is a low-power, long-range wireless protocol for IoT devices.
Features: Long range, low power, star topology, secure, scalable.
Applications: Smart cities, agriculture, industry, healthcare.

 7) Write functionality of XMPP.

Perfect 👍 Let’s make this exam-friendly and concise.

Q7) Write Functionality of XMPP

Answer:
XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) is a real-time communication protocol used in
IoT and messaging systems. Its main functionalities include:

1. Real-Time Messaging:
Enables devices and applications to exchange messages instantly.

Example: Smart home sensors sending alerts to mobile app.

2. Presence Detection:
Shows whether a device or user is online, offline, or busy.
3. Publish/Subscribe Mechanism:
Devices can publish data and multiple subscribers can receive it.
Example: Weather sensor publishes data → multiple apps subscribe.

4. Extensibility:
Uses XML tags → easy to add new features and support custom data types.
5. Security:
Supports TLS/SSL encryption and authentication for secure communication.
6. Decentralized Communication:
Multiple XMPP servers can communicate, allowing distributed IoT networks.

✅ Short Summary for 4–6 marks:

XMPP enables real-time, secure, and extensible messaging in IoT.
Functions: Instant messaging, presence info, publish/subscribe, extensibility, security, and
decentralized communication.

Do you want me to now prepare a full Unit-3 summary table of all IoT protocols (MQTT, CoAP, AMQP,
XMPP, LoRaWAN, IPv6) for quick revision?
