Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the IoT standardization landscape and a glimpse into the main standards defining organizations involved in IoT as well as a snapshot of the projects that they are undertaking. It highlights the ongoing convergence towards the Internet Protocol as the normalizing layer for IoT. The chapter covers the following industry organizations: IEEE, IETF, ITU, IPSO Alliance, OCF, IIC, ETSI, oneM2M, AllSeen Alliance, Thread Group, ZigBee Alliance, TIA, Z-Wave Alliance, OASIS and LoRa Alliance. The chapter concludes with a summary of the gaps and provides a scorecard of the industry progress to date.
