Future Expansion of the Simulation
Due to the possibilities
opened by exercise complexity,
students were encouraged to
widely modify the simulation adding new network and IoT features.
On network level, by design, all the device were able to access to the remote IoT server.
Access restrictions could be apply to make sure that only authorized IPs could connect
to it.
Due to wireless range limitations all IoT device were connected via switch, as this would
be probably not realistically in real applications, students could re-engineer the IoT net-
work setup in order to create a wider WLAN network or a cluster of wired IoT subnetwork.
On
IoT prospective, many more simulations could be added in the campus scenario:
electricity generated to power street lights, network of security sensors, evacuation plans
to open all doors and windows etc.
Also microcontroller examples could be integrated in the simulation
in order to cover
cases where the WLAN coverage of the IoT network was not sufficient.
