The 1st Edition of Internet of Things (IoT) - An Engineering Approach, written by Xicai Yue and published by Academic Press, addresses the need to develop intelligent sensor and actuator nodes without getting confused by network and communication protocols. This textbook guides readers through the end-to-end process of building unified IoT system architectures.

The material synthesizes foundational hardware design and modern networking into coherent engineering domains. Primary coverage includes low-power electronics, wireless communication protocols, broadband cellular networks including 4G and 5G, data acquisition pipelines, real-time embedded systems, edge computing with artificial intelligence, and network security.

To ground theoretical principles in authentic applications, the text highlights first-hand research examples such as powering indoor sensor nodes with photovoltaic energy harvesting. The volume offers a structured resource for engineering students and industry practitioners working across smart cities, smart homes, and digital health.
