TM112 - Introduction To Computing 2- TMA02 (Marked) F1746464 TMA02 TM112 Question 1. a) The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that describes the idea of everyday objects being connected to th... e internet and being able to send and receive data. IoT may include other sensor technologies, wireless technologies such as the Well Cow system which allows a farmer to monitor acidity and PH levels inside a cow’s gut using a computer or mobile device to monitor it using wireless transmission and even automated SMS notifications such as the Moocall device uses SMS alerts to notify farmers one hour before calving is due to begin without any user input. (110 words) b) Latency is the measurement of how fast data can be transferred between point A to point B. To reduce latency browser caching can be implemented this would cache certain resources locally on the end-user’s device and mitigating the need to access the site as it would be stored locally. (50 Words) c) The difference in percentage between 4G with a latency of 45ms and 5G with a latency of 1ms is worked as such below. 4G = 45ms 5G = 1ms 45ms – 1ms = 44ms 44 45 =0.9777777777777778 0.9777777777777778×100=97.77777777777778 Rounded down to the nearest tenth of a percent the difference between 4G and 5G in latency presented in percentage is 97.78% d) Fildes, N.
