Abstract

In the present Internet of Things (IoT) era, we are continuously witnessing an increasing number of the objects around us becoming smart and having the capability of sensing, processing and exchanging the data collected from its ambience. The IoT protocols can be broadly divided into two major groups: (i) IoT connectivity protocols and (ii) IoT messaging protocols. When it comes to connectivity standards, there is a plethora of options available for IoT application developers. Wireless connectivity standards that are already existing like Bluetooth, WiFI, LTE etc. along with those that are designed especially for IoT like LoRa, 6LowPAN are discussed in this chapter. Though not exhaustive, this chapter gives an extensive coverage of the most popular IoT networking protocols.
