This comprehensive book delves into the realm of single-channel, device-to-device communication within the Internet of Things (IoT), focusing on the signal encoding stage. It presents a novel family of encoding techniques that significantly streamline the communication circuitry, leading to remarkable advantages such as reduced power consumption, smaller form factors, and dynamic data rates that can withstand clock discrepancies between transmitter and receiver. Readers will be introduced to edge-coded signaling, a method that employs binary data coding as counts of transmitted pulses. The authors thoroughly explore the far-reaching implications of these innovative signal-encoding techniques and demonstrate how they can minimize the requirement for complex circuitries for clock and data recovery or duty-cycle correction. Furthermore, they provide a detailed description of an entire ecosystem of hardware and firmware designed around edge-code signaling. This ecosystem encompasses an application-specific processor, automatic protocol configuration, power and data rate management, cryptographic primitives, and automatic failure recovery modes. Notably, the innovative IoT communication link and its associated ecosystem fully align with the stringent IoT requirements regarding power, footprint, security, robustness, and reliability. By leveraging these encoding techniques, the IoT landscape is poised for significant advancements in connectivity, efficiency, and scalability, paving the way for a more interconnected and intelligent world.
