A Study on IoT Technologies, Standards and Protocols

During the past couple of decades, the Internet of Things (IoT) has grown tremendously. The IoT is increasingly used in industries including medicine, engineering, safety, and transportation. In order to define this vision, various challenges need to be overcome, including issues surrounding interoperability, data confidentiality and security, and development of energy efficient management systems. A network and data are the basis for IoT protocols. Wireless technologies include Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Long Range Wide Area Networks (LoRa WAN). There is a rapid development of new standards, technologies, and platforms for the IoT ecosystem. IoT is rapidly growing; this paper represents an overview of IoT Network protocols and several Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standards.
