slide 1: Internet of Things IoT Protocols
Protocols that used in Internet of Things IOT are several but here I am defining some
important protocols that is used in IOT.
1. Bluetooth
Bluetooth is used for short-range communication which becomes very important in
computing. The Smart Bluetooth as it is now branded – is a important protocol for IoT
applications. Prominently while it offers comparable range to Bluetooth it has been
designed to offer significantly condensed power consumption.
Smart Bluetooth is not designed for file transfer it is more suitable for small chunks of
data. It has a major advantage surely in a more personal device context over many
competing technologies given its extensive integration in smart phones and many other
mobile devices.
2. Zigbee
slide 2: ZigBee similar to Bluetooth has a large established base of operation although maybe
traditionally more in manufacturing settings. ZigBee PRO and ZigBee Remote Control
among other accessible ZigBee profiles are stand on the IEEE802.15.4 protocol which
is an industry-standard wireless networking technology operating at 2.4GHz.
3. Z-Wave
Z-Wave is a low-power Radio Frequency communications technology that is principally
intended for home automation for products such as lamp organizers and sensors amid
many others. Optimized for dependable and low-latency communication of small data
packets with data rates up to 100kbit/s it operates in the sub-1GHz band and is
impervious to interference from WiFi and other wireless technologies in the 2.4-GHz
range such as Bluetooth or ZigBee.
4. LoRaWAN
slide 3: LoRaWAN Long Range Wide Area Network is a protocol for wide area networks. It is
planned to support large networks with millions of low-power devices. LoRaWAN can
supply low-cost mobile and safe bidirectional communication in a variety of industries.
5. WiFi
WiFi connectivity is frequently an obvious choice for various developers particularly
given the occurrence of WiFi within the home surroundings within LANs. It requires
small further clarification except to state the obvious that clearly there is a broad existing
communications as well as donating fast data transfer and the capability to handle high
quantities of data. Currently the most common WiFi standard used in homes and many
businesses is 802.11
6. Cellular
IoT application that needs operation in excess of longer distances can obtain
advantage of GSM/3G/4G cellular communication capabilities. While cellular is clearly
able of sending high amount of data especially for 4G the expense and also power
consumption will be too large for many applications but it can be ideal for sensor-based
low-bandwidth-data projects that will send very low amounts of data over the Internet.
7. NFC
slide 4: NFC Near Field Communication is a technology that allows simple and safe two-way
communications between electronic devices and particularly applicable for smart
phones permitting consumers to complete contactless payment transactions
admittance digital content and attach electronic devices. Essentially it expands the
potential of contactless card technology and facilitates devices to share information at a
distance that is less than 4cm.
8. 6LowPAN
6LowPAN is a network protocol that defines encapsulation and header density
mechanisms. The usual has the liberty of frequency band and physical layer and can
also be used across multiple communications platforms including Ethernet Wi-Fi
802.15.4 and sub-1GHz ISM. A key attribute is the IPv6 Internet Protocol version 6
stack which has been a very significant introduction in latest years to permit the
IoT. IPv6 is the successor to IPv4 and offers roughly 5 x 1028addresses for every
person in the world permitting any embedded entity or device in the world to have its
possess unique IP address and attach to the Internet.
